Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Sumner, WA
When doctors make mistakes, lives change forever. Here in Sumner, Washington, we've seen how medical errors can turn a routine procedure into a nightmare for patients and their families. If you or a loved one has been hurt by a healthcare provider's mistake, you need someone who understands both the medical and legal sides of your case.
What Counts as Medical Malpractice in Washington?Simply put, medical malpractice happens when a doctor, nurse, or other healthcare worker makes a mistake that another reasonable professional wouldn't have made. These mistakes can happen in any medical setting - from small clinics to big hospitals.
Common Ways Medical Malpractice HappensNot every bad medical outcome is malpractice, but these situations often are:
- Surgery on the wrong body part or leaving tools inside a patient
- Missing obvious signs of serious illness like cancer or heart disease
- Giving the wrong medicine or the wrong dose
- Mistakes during childbirth that harm mother or baby
- Problems with anesthesia during surgery
- Sending someone home from the emergency room who needs urgent care
- Infections that could have been prevented
- Waiting too long to give needed treatment
- Not telling patients about serious risks before treatment
If you've been treated at any of these facilities, we can help investigate your case:
- MultiCare Good Samaritan Hospital in Puyallup
- Virginia Mason Hospital up in Seattle
- Mary Bridge Children's Hospital in nearby Tacoma
The numbers are scary - Johns Hopkins researchers found that medical mistakes kill more Americans than everything except heart disease and cancer. Right here in Washington, hundreds of medical malpractice cases get settled every year. Real people are getting hurt, and they need real help.
