Some of the main hospitals and facilities serving in Bonney Lake include:

MultiCare Allenmore Hospital – Tacoma

As a nationally distinguished regional medical center, MultiCare Allenmore Hospital provides advanced specialty care and complex procedures in areas like neurosurgery, orthopedics, high-risk pregnancies, cancer care, trauma, and more. With 650+ patient beds and a Level II trauma center performing intricate surgeries and treatments around the clock.

Good Samaritan Hospital – Puyallup

Good Samaritan is a full-service hospital and Level III trauma center providing emergency, surgical, maternity, cancer, neurology, cardiology, and intensive care to families in South Hill, East Pierce County, and beyond.

St. Joseph Medical Center - Tacoma

This hospital offers a wide array of specialty services like cancer care, complex heart procedures, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, acute rehab, and a neuroscience institute.

While no two cases are identical, some of the most common yet preventable forms of medical malpractice we see at Moseley Collins Law include:

Failure to Properly Diagnose Illnesses

One of the most common allegations our firm encounters involves healthcare providers failing to diagnose diseases like aggressive cancers, infections, hereditary conditions, heart defects, neurological disorders, and other serious illnesses in time to effectively treat them – drastically lowering patient survival rates and prognosis. Making the right diagnosis hinges on doctors gathering detailed symptom/family histories, ordering all appropriate tests, making legally required disease screenings, performing full diagnostic exams, and taking enough time with patients to make sound judgments. Negligence in any of these areas can constitute malpractice.

Preventable Surgical Complications

Complex surgical procedures carry immense risk of error including operating on the wrong body part/patient, nicking organs or blood vessels, failing to prevent post-surgery infections, leaving foreign objects inside patients after closing incisions, improperly administered anesthesia, and negligent aftercare. Such surgical mistakes often necessitate more invasive surgeries to repair damage, cause permanent disabilities or disfigurement, and heighten risk of death.

Delivery Room Errors Resulting in Birth Injuries

Mistakes during labor/delivery can inflict catastrophic damage to both mothers and newborns. Most common delivery-related birth injuries we see involve oxygen deprivation causing cerebral palsy, nerve injuries from improper use of forceps/vacuums, delays performing emergency C-sections leading to infant brain bleeds, and Erb’s or Klumpke's palsy causing permanent disability. Such errors always warrant investigation.

Adverse Reactions to Negligent Medication Management

In busy hospitals with complex medication administration systems, we see many instances of patients being given improper prescriptions, dosages, combinations, or administration of drugs. Ignoring potentially fatal drug allergies and interactions, nurse/pharmacist compounding errors, failing to track side effects, and incorrectly filled prescriptions can cause grave patient reactions, organ failure, and wrongful death.

No matter what type of medical error caused harm to you or someone you love, the lawyers at Moseley Collins Law have the legal experience and unwavering dedication to prove negligence, overcome Washington laws shielding providers, and fight tooth and nail for maximum compensation on your behalf. We encourage you to schedule a free case evaluation so we can explore your legal options after tragedy has struck.

Though no amount of money could ever make up for losing someone you love or suffering reduced health/capabilities, obtaining maximum financial compensation is crucial to cover mounting medical costs, secure in-home care, replace lost wages, and ensure financial stability. In Washington, injured victims and grieving families may legally recover:

• Reimbursement for all past and future medical expenses related to the malpractice injuries - surgery, hospitalization, medications, at-home nursing care, physical rehabilitation, assistive devices
• Compensation for loss of past and future income/earning capacity
• Out-of-pocket expenses related to lifestyle changes like home modifications for disabilities and special transportation needs
• Damages for physical pain and emotional trauma/distress
• Compensation for loss of enjoyment of life if injuries prohibit favored activities
• Loss of consortium damages for spouses/partners losing intimacy/companionship
• Funeral costs and other estate expenses in wrongful death cases

Successfully determining and valuing ALL applicable damages takes keen legal skills and resources. The accomplished Pierce County medical malpractice lawyers at Moseley Collins Law leverage four decades of case experience and relationships with finance experts to fully demonstrate short and long-term costs - so injured clients can secure settlements or jury awards covering their entire financial burden. We take great pride helping restore stability and optimism during very dark times.

Successfully navigating legal action against negligent doctors, nurses, hospitals, and their insurance firms in Washington’s intricately regulated medical industry hinges greatly on the skills and firepower your lawyer brings to the table. These legally and emotionally complex cases require understanding of obscure medical issues, healthcare facility inner workings, state laws capping damages, negotiating with powerful hospital legal teams, securing large financial recoveries, taking cases to trial when fair offers don’t materialize - and a compassionate bedside manner.

The Moseley Collins Law team of fierce medical malpractice lawyers have earned reputations over 40+ years for:

• Laser-focused expertise - Medical negligence litigation is extremely niche. We concentrate on these cases instead of diluting skills handling an array of unrelated civil/personal lawsuits. Our niche focus is your advantage.
• Meticulous case preparation - Building an ironclad claim requires immense strategic preparation like gathering volumes of medical records, lab/test results, conducting countless interviews of all parties involved to construct a timeline, and identifying/retaining reputable independent industry experts to analyze negligence.
• Courtroom track record - We consistently secure 7 to 8-figure settlements for injured clients when pre-trial offers fall disappointingly short. We are fully prepared and unafraid to take on healthcare Goliaths in court if just compensation remains elusive.
• Compassionate counsel - We know malpractice can devastate emotionally and financially. Our lawyers personally guide each client through the intricate legal process with empathy and care. We become your fierce allies.
• Zero out-of-pocket costs - We work on a contingency-fee basis, meaning we only collect IF we win compensation. You pay nothing upfront.

The devastating physical, emotional and financial costs of losing someone you love or having your own life forever damaged by medical negligence often feel insurmountable. The compassionate yet aggressive medical malpractice lawyers at Moseley Collins Law are here to shoulder your legal and investigative burden every step of the way - so you can focus on healing and moving forward.
