Seattle Medical Malpractice Law
Doctors, nurses and other healthcare providers in Washington state are dedicated professionals, but they are human, and mistakes do occur. When these mistakes result in injuries to patients, they may be liable for malpractice. These errors can include a misdiagnosis, administering the wrong medication or medical device, surgical missteps, a failure to follow up on test results, anesthesia mistakes, hospital-related infections, or wrongful death.
If you have been harmed by the careless actions of a medical professional, you should speak with an attorney as soon as possible. A lawyer can review your case and help you decide whether it is in your best interest to file a lawsuit against the at-fault party. A lawyer can also explain how to preserve evidence in your case such as obtaining copies of all medical records, seeking a second opinion from another medical expert, and keeping track of your symptoms and how they have progressed.
You must be able to prove negligence in a medical malpractice claim in order to win compensation for your damages. This includes proving that the healthcare provider breached their duty to provide you with reasonable care, that their breach caused your injury or medical condition, and that the injuries are substantial and permanent. An experienced Seattle medical malpractice attorney will be able to identify and work with healthcare experts to establish the professional standard of care for your case and to determine precisely how your health care provider breached this standard, resulting in your injuries.
There are many types of damages in a medical malpractice claim, including past and future medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, diminished quality of life, loss of consortium, and emotional distress. These damages can be difficult to quantify and negotiate with insurance companies, so it is crucial that you have a Seattle Medical Malpractice Law firm on your side.
