Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Meadowdale, WA

When doctors make mistakes, lives change forever. Here in Meadowdale, Washington, we've seen how medical errors can turn families' worlds upside down. Whether it's a surgery gone wrong or a missed diagnosis, dealing with medical malpractice is overwhelming. You need someone who understands both the medical and legal sides of your situation.

Medical malpractice happens when a doctor, nurse, or other healthcare worker makes a mistake that harms a patient. These mistakes must fall below what's considered acceptable medical care. Think of it like this: if most doctors would have handled the situation differently and avoided the problem, you might have a case.

• Surgery problems (operating on the wrong body part, leaving tools inside)
• Missing a serious illness or waiting too long to diagnose it
• Giving wrong medications or wrong doses
• Injuries during childbirth to mother or baby
• Mistakes in the emergency room when things are rushed
• Problems with anesthesia during surgery
• Getting infections in the hospital that could have been prevented
• Not telling patients about important risks before treatment

Our local medical centers include:

• Swedish Edmonds Hospital (known for emergency care and surgery)
• Providence Regional Medical Center Everett (major trauma center)
• UW Medicine Northwest Hospital (teaching hospital)

The numbers are scary, but important to know:

• Johns Hopkins researchers found medical mistakes kill more Americans than everything except heart disease and cancer
• About one and a half million patients face serious harm from medical errors each year
