When we talk about medical malpractice, we mean situations where a healthcare provider's mistake or carelessness leads to patient harm. While not every bad medical outcome is malpractice, there are clear rules in Washington State about when patients can seek legal help.

Common Medical Mistakes We See

Every case is different, but these are some frequent types of medical errors we handle:

• Surgery mistakes (operating on the wrong body part, leaving instruments inside patients)
• Missing or delaying important diagnoses, especially for serious conditions like cancer
• Giving the wrong medicine or wrong dose
• Injuries to babies during pregnancy or delivery
• Problems with anesthesia during surgery
• Infections that patients get while in the hospital
• Mistakes in emergency rooms during urgent situations
• Not telling patients about important risks before treatment

If you need medical care in the Longbranch area, these are the main hospitals nearby:

• St. Anthony Hospital in Gig Harbor : Known for emergency care and surgical services
• MultiCare Gig Harbor Medical Park : Offers specialty care and outpatient services
• CHI Franciscan Harrison Medical Center in Bremerton : Full-service medical center

The numbers tell a shocking story. Research from Johns Hopkins shows that medical errors are now the third most common cause of death in America, after heart disease and cancer. Studies in the Journal of Patient Safety found that between 210,000 and 440,000 patients die each year from preventable medical mistakes. Behind each of these numbers is a real person and a family whose lives have been changed forever.
