Suffering an injury due to medical malpractice can devastate one's life in many ways. Medical errors cause serious harm, resulting in disabilities, lost income, excruciating pain, enormous expenses, and emotional trauma. If you or a loved one has experienced medical negligence by a healthcare provider in Renton, WA or nearby communities, you need an advocate on your side. The medical malpractice lawyers at Moseley Collins Law focus on representing victims of medical negligence statewide. With over 40 years of combined experience, we have the legal skills, resources, and successful track record to stand up to negligent doctors, hospitals, clinics and insurance companies in Washington.

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional violates the standard of care and injures or causes the death of a patient. Under Washington laws, patients have the right to receive competent medical treatment that meets professional standards. Doctors, nurses, surgeons, dentists, therapists, pharmacists and other providers can be held legally liable through a medical malpractice lawsuit if their substandard care harms someone.

Some common grounds for medical malpractice claims in Washington include:

• Misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose serious conditions
• Surgical mistakes and errors during treatment
• Childbirth injuries to mother or baby
• Medication errors and pharmacy dispensing mistakes
• Failure to order proper tests or screen for diseases
• Missed follow-up care or referrals
• Lack of informed consent regarding risks
• Use of faulty medical devices or products

To prove medical malpractice under RCW 7.70.030, our firm must establish these key elements:

• A direct provider-patient relationship existed that established a duty of care
• The healthcare professional breached the accepted standard of competent medical care
• This breach directly caused the patient’s injury or death
• Damages resulted, including pain, suffering, disability, lost wages, costs, etc.

Litigating medical negligence cases requires extensive resources and medical expert witnesses. The lawyers at Moseley Collins Law possess the skills, experience, and resources to build strong cases for victims and surviving families. We work closely with nationally recognized specialists to analyze errors and strengthen our clients' claims.

Pursuing fair compensation after an incident of medical negligence is often an uphill battle. Healthcare providers regularly refuse to take responsibility or disclose mistakes.

Healthcare professionals in Renton and surrounding communities including Bellevue, SeaTac, Kent, Auburn, Newcastle, and Issaquah make mistakes each year, harming trusting patients. At Moseley Collins Law, we have seen the devastating impacts of medical negligence. Some of the most common medical malpractice cases we handle include:

While all surgeries involve risks, mistakes made during surgical procedures should never occur. Our law firm has handled many cases where surgical errors here in Renton and the greater Seattle area caused serious harm, such as:

• Wrong site/wrong patient surgery
• Unintended damage to organs, nerves, or anatomy
• Retained foreign objects left inside patients after surgery
• Anesthesia errors and mishaps
• Avoidable postoperative infections
• Physicians lacking proper surgical qualifications/training
• Failure to order or review essential lab tests before surgery

Surgeons are expected to meet very high standards of care and skill. When these standards are breached, we hold surgeons and surgical facilities fully liable for the terrible damage done to our clients.

Giving birth is supposed to be a time of joy, but when preventable medical errors are made during labor or delivery, the effects on both mother and child can be devastating. Birth injury cases due to negligence might involve:

• Failure to adequately monitor fetal heart rate
• Improper use of vacuum extraction or forceps during delivery
• Delayed emergency C-section
• Errors administering anesthesia or epidurals to mothers
• Postpartum hemorrhage due to lack of vigilance

Birth injuries such as brachial plexus injuries, hypoxia, cerebral palsy, seizures, and developmental delays can leave children with permanent disabilities. Our lawyers will fight passionately on their behalf to obtain the lifelong medical care, therapies, equipment, and other necessities they will require.

One of the most common yet catastrophic medical errors we see are failures to diagnose serious illnesses and conditions. Examples include cancers, heart disease, stroke, aneurysm, diabetes, infections, and blood clots. Missing a diagnosis denies patients prompt medical treatment that could prevent further physical harm, disability, and even death.

Related medical errors are misdiagnosis and delayed diagnoses. These happen when providers reach the wrong conclusion or take too long to identify the real underlying issue. Again, the result is delayed treatment, allowing the patient's condition to worsen. By the time the correct diagnosis is made, the patient's health outlook is much bleaker.

Failure to diagnose cases require extensive litigation and multiple expert witnesses. Our lawyers thoroughly investigate what signs, symptoms, and clues the providers missed or misjudged to prove negligence and strengthen our client's case.

Medication errors take many preventable forms, including:

• Being given the wrong pharmaceutical drug
• Being overdosed or under-dosed
• Overlooking harmful drug interactions
• Ignoring documented allergies
• Illegible handwritten prescriptions
• Dispensing wrong medication at the pharmacy

Doctors, nurses, pharmacists and other clinicians must be extremely careful to avoid medication mishaps, which can lead to devastating consequences. When substandard practices cause preventable harm, we demand justice and full accountability.

Elderly nursing home residents often rely completely on staff to assist with their most basic daily needs. When staff fail to provide adequate care and supervision, the results can be tragic. Our lawyers have represented victims of:

• Pressure ulcers, malnutrition, and dehydration
• Falls and traumatic injuries
• Excessive sedation
• Sexual assault
• Medication errors
• Failure to send declining patients to ER promptly

Proving nursing home negligence and abuse cases can be extremely difficult given the lack of transparency. Our legal team has the dedication and resources to build strong cases for harmed residents and families seeking justice.
