Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Wauna, WA

When a doctor's mistake changes your life, finding the right legal help can feel overwhelming. Here in Wauna, Washington, our neighbors have trusted Moseley Collins Law to guide them through difficult times after medical care gone wrong. We know that dealing with injuries from medical mistakes is hard enough - finding the right lawyer shouldn't add to your stress.

Sometimes bad medical outcomes happen even with good care. But when healthcare providers make preventable mistakes that hurt patients, that's medical malpractice. Washington law protects patients in these situations.

Let's break down what medical malpractice actually looks like:

• Operations done incorrectly or on the wrong body part
• Missing serious health conditions that should have been caught
• Giving wrong medications or wrong doses
• Injuries during childbirth that could have been prevented
• Problems with anesthesia during surgery
• Not telling patients about important risks before treatment
• Poor care after surgery leading to complications

Medical mistakes can turn lives upside down. We've seen patients deal with:

• Brain injuries that change personality and abilities
• Spine damage leading to paralysis
• Major organ failure
• Deaths that shouldn't have happened
• Babies born with preventable problems
• Permanent nerve damage affecting daily life
• Dangerous infections from unclean conditions
• Disabilities that last a lifetime
