Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional fails to provide a generally accepted standard of care and directly harms a patient as a result. Some examples of medical negligence include:

• Misdiagnosing or failing to diagnose serious conditions like cancer, infections or heart disease
• Surgical errors such as operating on the wrong body part
• Preventable birth injuries to infant or mother
• Administering the wrong type or dosage of medication
• Overlooking tumors, cancer or other abnormalities on test results
• Hospital-acquired infections due to poor sanitary practices

When building a case, our firm’s lawyers thoroughly investigate and evaluate evidence to establish four central elements:

1. Duty of Care – The medical provider had a legal obligation to provide treatment adhering to widely accepted standards suitable for the patient’s condition and needs.
2. Breach of Duty – The provider violated their duty of care through negligent acts or omissions, such as a surgical error, improper medication, failure to monitor, lack of infection control, etc.
3. Causation – There must be a direct causal link between the provider's breach of duty and the resulting harm or injury to the patient. Essentially – would the patient have avoided injury if proper care was given?
4. Damages – Quantifiable losses were incurred related to the malpractice, which may include cost of follow-up treatment, lost wages, pain/suffering, permanent loss of normal life activities, or death.

Malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to meet reasonable standards of care which directly results in patient harm. This includes surgical errors, improper medication, misdiagnosis, lack of monitoring, failure to stop infections, delayed cancer diagnosis, preventable birth injuries, and more.

Proving cause-and-effect requires experienced analysis of medical records and detailed timelines plus consulting specialists to pinpoint breaches from normal standards of care. Expert testimony also establishes what damages/disabilities could have been avoided with proper treatment. Thorough investigation and interpretation are key.

Top firms work on a contingency fee basis meaning legal fees are only owed if compensation is successfully recovered. All case costs like experts are also initially paid by the firm, reimbursed later out of any settlement or award. This eliminates any upfront costs or out-of-pocket financial risk for injured clients.

Washington statutes limit filing timeframes. For adults, claims must be filed within 3 years from malpractice or 1 year after discovering negligence. An experienced lawyer ensures deadlines are met or your legal rights expire.

What types of compensation might I recover?
You may be awarded compensation for medical costs, lost income and wages, pain/suffering, partial or full disabilities, loss of normal life enjoyment, emotional distress and other damages directly attributable to the proven malpractice. A lawyer maximizes full and fair restitution.
