Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Terrace Heights, WA

Medical mistakes can turn your life upside down in an instant. Here in Terrace Heights, Washington, we understand how overwhelming it feels when trusted healthcare providers make errors that harm you or your loved ones. At Moseley Collins Law, we've walked this path with many families, helping them navigate the complex world of medical malpractice claims while they focus on healing.

Think of medical malpractice as a break in the chain of proper healthcare. It happens when doctors, nurses, or other medical staff don't provide the level of care you should reasonably expect, and you get hurt as a result. Maybe they missed obvious symptoms, gave you the wrong medicine, or made a mistake during surgery. Whatever happened, you're not alone, and you have rights under Washington law.

We often see cases involving:

• Surgeons operating on the wrong body part or doing the wrong procedure
• Mix-ups with medications or wrong doses being given
• Doctors missing serious conditions like cancer or heart problems
• Injuries to babies during birth
• Problems with anesthesia during surgery
• Doctors not telling patients about important risks
• Serious infections picked up in hospitals
• Mistakes made in emergency rooms when things are hectic

Our community relies on several local hospitals and medical centers:

• Virginia Mason Memorial Hospital
• Yakima Valley Memorial Hospital
• Astria Regional Medical Center
• Landmark Care Center

While these facilities generally provide good care, mistakes can happen anywhere. We're familiar with all local healthcare systems and how they operate.

The facts about medical malpractice are eye-opening:

• Research from Johns Hopkins shows medical mistakes are now the third biggest cause of death in America, right after heart disease and cancer
• Studies in the Journal of Patient Safety found that preventable medical errors hurt hundreds of thousands of people every year
• Looking at medical malpractice claims, about one in three involve doctors missing or delaying important diagnoses

Over our 40+ years working on medical malpractice cases, we've developed a thorough approach that works. We don't just look at surface-level problems - we dig deep to understand exactly what went wrong and who's responsible. This means:
