Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Chico, WA

When you or a loved one has been harmed due to medical negligence, the world can feel like it's turning upside down. Here in Chico, Washington, we understand that finding the right legal support during such challenging times is crucial. Our community deserves quality healthcare, and when that standard isn't met, you need someone who will stand up for your rights.

Simply put, medical malpractice happens when a doctor, nurse, or any healthcare worker makes a mistake that another reasonable healthcare provider wouldn't have made under the same circumstances. These errors can happen in any medical setting - from small clinics to large hospitals.

But it's not just about mistakes. Under Washington law, you'll need to show that this error actually caused you harm and led to specific damages, like additional medical bills or lost work time.

Let's break down the most frequent types of cases we see:

• Mistakes during surgery (like operating on the wrong body part)
• Missing or delaying important diagnoses
• Giving wrong medications or wrong doses
• Injuries during childbirth
• Problems with anesthesia
• Emergency room oversights
• Not telling patients about treatment risks
• Preventable infections from poor hospital care

If you've experienced medical malpractice at any of these facilities, we can help:

• Central Washington Hospital: Primary healthcare center serving our community
