Medical Malpractice

The medical malpractice attorneys at Moseley Collins Law have the knowledge and experience to help injured patients navigate the healthcare, legal and insurance systems. Their specialized skills make them one of the top law firms in Seattle for handling medical negligence cases.

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional fails to perform his or her duty and the patient is injured as a result. This can range from misdiagnosis to surgical errors to prescribing the wrong medication.

A physician who commits a negligent act in his or her practice may be sued for damages by an injured patient, family member or estate. The injured party must prove that the defendant healthcare worker deviated from the standard of care, which is determined by what a reasonably competent healthcare provider would have done under similar circumstances.

In addition, the plaintiff’s attorney must demonstrate that it was more likely than not that the healthcare worker’s negligence caused injury to the plaintiff. This is known as the preponderance of evidence standard, which is less demanding than the “beyond a reasonable doubt” standard that is required to convict criminal defendants.

Dog Bites

Dogs are often man’s best friend, but even “good” dogs can bite if provoked. Children are at increased risk of animal bites, and most dog bites are from dogs they know. Never leave young children alone with a stranger’s dog or even the family pet.

Any animal bite wound should be thoroughly examined by a doctor to see whether damage was caused to nerves, tendons, or bones. A physician may also need to evaluate whether the animal was rabid, as unprovoked attacks can raise concerns about rabies.

Bites can cause a variety of injuries, including infection. Any bite wound that does not close immediately is considered to be contaminated and/or infected, and bacteria from the aggressor’s mouth can multiply below the skin surface and lead to localized cellulitis or even a generalized abscess. A bite wound should be kept clean, and a physician may recommend the use of antibiotic ointments or hydrogen peroxide. It is important to check for signs of tetanus, and if necessary, to receive the appropriate vaccine.

Product Liability

When manufacturers and sellers design, manufacture, or sell products that have the potential to cause injury or death to consumers, they may be held liable under product liability law. Claims in this field can be based on negligence, defective design, or breach of warranty.

Defendants will often use several defenses in product liability cases. They may argue that the injured party was aware of and accepted the risks associated with using the product, a theory known as assumption of risk. They may also argue that the injuries were caused by misuse of the product or that the claim is out of time under a state’s statute of limitations.
