Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Friday Harbor, WA

When someone is harmed by a healthcare provider's mistake in Friday Harbor, it can turn their whole world upside down. Beyond the physical pain and emotional distress, victims often face mounting medical bills and lost time at work. Our peaceful island community may seem far removed from big-city legal battles, but medical errors can happen anywhere - even in our local healthcare facilities.

Medical malpractice happens when a doctor, nurse, or other healthcare worker makes a mistake that causes harm to a patient. These aren't just simple accidents - they're serious errors that go against standard medical practice. In Friday Harbor and across Washington state, patients have legal rights when they're hurt by negligent medical care.

Our community relies on several healthcare facilities for medical care:

• Peace Island Medical Center - A vital hub for island medical services
• Friday Harbor Drug - Our local pharmacy serving island residents
• San Juan Healthcare - Providing essential medical services

Let's talk about what can go wrong in medical care. These aren't just statistics - they're real problems that affect real people in our community:

Common Medical Errors We See

• Surgery gone wrong - like operating on the wrong body part or leaving tools inside patients
• Missing or delayed diagnoses - especially for serious conditions like cancer
• Getting the wrong medicine or wrong dose
• Birth complications that harm mother or baby
• Problems with anesthesia during surgery
• Infections picked up during hospital stays
• Mistakes in the emergency room when every minute counts
