Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Wapato, WA

When you visit a doctor or hospital, you trust them to provide proper care. But sometimes, things go terribly wrong. Here in Wapato, Washington, our neighbors have faced serious injuries due to medical mistakes. At Moseley Collins Law, we understand how overwhelming and frightening it can be when medical professionals let you down. For over 40 years, we've stood beside patients and families, helping them get back on their feet after medical errors changed their lives.

Medical malpractice isn't just a legal term – it's what happens when doctors, nurses, or other healthcare workers make preventable mistakes that harm patients. These mistakes can happen in any healthcare setting, from small clinics to major hospitals. If you're dealing with unexpected complications or injuries after medical care in Wapato or nearby areas, you're not alone, and you have rights.

Let's look at the types of cases we often see:

• Operations performed on the wrong body part or wrong patient
• Missed diagnoses that let serious conditions get worse
• Wrong medications or wrong doses given to patients
• Injuries to babies during birth
• Problems with anesthesia during surgery
• Infections that shouldn't have happened
• Mistakes in the emergency room
• Mixed-up lab results
• X-rays and scans read incorrectly
• Treatments started without properly explaining risks

Our community relies on several nearby medical centers:

The facts about medical mistakes are sobering:
