What is Medical Malpractice?
The term “medical malpractice” describes your accidental or purposeful mistreatment at the hands of medical professionals whom you’ve trusted with your overall well-being. Medical malpractice victims may suffer conditions like the following:
- Injuries from defective medical devices
- Injuries and long-lasting health conditions from inappropriately prescribed pharmaceutical drugs or other prescription errors
- Injuries from surgical errors
- Anesthesia errors
- Injury from a wrongfully placed foreign object
- Emergency room errors
You can discuss whether or not your health concerns stem from medical malpractice during consultations with third-party medical professionals. If it appears your condition stemmed from the medical community’s negligence, you can book a personal injury case consultation to discuss your legal strategy.
How Do You Prove You’ve Suffered From Medical Malpractice?
You must bring forward evidence proving that you’ve suffered from medical malpractice if you want to file a personal injury claim or an insurance claim following an incident.
The evidence you use to make your case may include the following:
- Statements from third-party medical professionals
- Bills and treatment plans reflecting your previous care
- Treatment plans reflecting the needs you currently face
- Bystander input commenting on specific instances of negligence
- Photos and videos commenting on specific instances of medical negligence
- Previous cases addressing conditions similar to yours or reflecting negligence enacted by a liable medical institution
You can work with a medical malpractice attorney in Seattle, WA, to gather this evidence before moving forward with the type of claim that suits you best.

What Can a Seattle Medical Malpractice Lawyer Do for You?
Our team does more than discuss the steps you can take to recover from medical malpractice. We offer services designed to make your recovery as straightforward as possible.
We Draft Insurance Claims
Are you struggling to make an insurance company take the cost of your recovery seriously? Are insurance companies claiming that they can’t help you or that you don’t have the right kind of coverage? Don’t let insurance claims adjusters or anyone else get in the way of your medical malpractice claim.
You can work with our experienced medical malpractice lawyers in Seattle to make your voice heard in conversations with insurance adjusters. We can specifically:
- Highlight the specific medical errors and other instances of negligence that give you the right to coverage
- Bring together the evidence you need to argue for fair compensation
- Prevent insurance claims adjusters from minimizing your losses or compromising the integrity of your evidence
- Ensure your medical malpractice claim is free of mistakes
We Draft Medical Malpractice Lawsuits
If you don’t get the financial support you deserve from an insurance company, you can file a personal injury lawsuit against the medical providers and healthcare professionals whose negligence caused your injuries.
Our team can pull medical records, call on medical professionals for third-party opinions, and highlight the additional treatments you’ll need to recover from surgical errors in our effort to get justice for your losses.
This process allows us to argue for your right to compensation for medical negligence with a court’s oversight. You do not have to go to trial to secure the damages you deserve. Still, you retain the right to do so if a medical provider or other party refuses to acknowledge the reality of your losses.
We Can Represent You In and Out of Civil Court
Are you reluctant to pursue legal action against a medical provider or similar party because you’re concerned about going before a judge? While you have the right to a bench or jury trial, you don’t have to go straight to court to get the financial support you need to recover from medical malpractice.
Our experienced attorneys can stand with you through settlement negotiations, speaking on your behalf in conversations with insurance claims adjusters and liable parties. We can brief you on what we intend to say ahead of time and answer any questions you may have about the process.
However, our team recognizes that there are some circumstances wherein you may not want to meet face-to-face with the people responsible for your medical malpractice.
Alternatively, if you’re pursuing justice for a loved one’s wrongful death, you may wish to go straight to trial. We’ll do everything in our power to make this process as simple as possible.

Our team cannot estimate the value of your medical malpractice settlement before investigating the specific circumstances that led to your injuries. However, you can trust our team to fight for your right to damages based on your economic and non-economic losses.
