Areas of Practice
We handle all types of professional negligence and serious personal injury claims:
-
Health care professionals in Washington State must exercise the skill, care, and learning expected of a “reasonably prudent” [insert: physician, surgeon, nurse, etc.] in the same or similar circumstances, at the time the treatment was provided. The failure to do so is medical malpractice.
In modern society people often put their lives in the hands of their doctors, medical professionals, and hospitals. We all expect these medical professionals know what they’re doing, are competent, are qualified, and will take care of us. When this doesn’t happen and when there is an error, it can be devastating for the patient and can result in serious long-term damage and even death. It is common to think, especially among people who have no firsthand experience with medical malpractice, that the doctors and hospitals who committed the error will be forthcoming. That they will want to help the injured patient and will want to work with them and their family to assist with the damages they caused. Unfortunately, in almost all cases this will not happen. Therefore, it is critically important to obtain the guidance of competent legal representation. The doctor, surgeon, nurse, or hospital that committed the malpractice will have legal counsel, and it is important that you do as well. If you have been the victim medical malpractice and it is causing you serious harm, please give us a call to discuss.
