Washington Medical Malpractice Lawyers
Were You Hurt by a Careless Medical Provider in Washington?
When you receive treatment from a licensed medical professional, you have every right to expect they won’t make a serious mistake. Doctors, nurses, and the people who run hospitals are highly trained and there are several safeguards designed to prevent accidents from happening.
Unfortunately, a staggering number of medical errors are committed in this country every year. According to one estimate, over 250,000 patients die annually as a result of medical malpractice.
The award-winning attorneys at Leventhal Puga Braley P.C. have recovered record-breaking verdicts and settlements for our clients throughout the United States. Call (877) 433-3906 today if you or a loved one has suffered serious harm due to medical malpractice in Washington.
We offer a no-cost initial consultation.
What Is Medical Malpractice?
Medical Malpractice occurs when a patient is harmed by the negligent actions of a doctor, nurse, or anyone who works for a hospital or medical services provider. A negligent action may include any type of behavior that deviates from the standard of care.
When a medical professional commits a negligent act that is a cause of injury, that is medical malpractice. To win a malpractice case, the plaintiff’s attorney must prove the following:
- A professional relationship existed.
- The other party was negligent.
- The negligent action is a cause of injury or harm.
There is also a three-year statute of limitations for initiating a medical malpractice case.
If a patient discovers an act of negligence after the statute of limitations has expired, you still have one year to file a claim. For example, if a patient finds out that a doctor left a medical device behind but not until several years after that surgery was performed, the patient would still be able to pursue a medical malpractice case.
