We represent individuals and families throughout Seattle and across Washington who have suffered life altering injuries or lost a loved one due to medical malpractice, surgical error, or hospital negligence.
What's Considered Medical Negligence?
Medical negligence occurs when a healthcare provider fails to meet the accepted standard of care — resulting in injury, illness, or death. These cases are complex and often emotionally overwhelming, but our team is here to help you pursue justice and accountability.
Common Forms of Medical Negligence
Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis
Incorrect or delayed diagnosis of cancer, stroke, or other serious conditions can lead to irreversible harm or death.
Surgical Errors & Wrong-Site Surgery
From wrong-site surgery to retained surgical instruments — these are preventable mistakes with devastating consequences.
Medication & Prescription Errors
Improper prescriptions or dosage mistakes can cause serious reactions, organ damage, or fatal outcomes.
Hospital-Acquired Infections & Sepsis
Hospital-acquired infections, bedsores, or untreated sepsis due to staff negligence can result in catastrophic injury or death.
Failure to Monitor or Treat
Neglecting to monitor vital signs or treat post-operative complications often leads to avoidable patient suffering.
Birth Injuries
Negligence during labor or delivery can result in long-term injuries such as cerebral palsy or Erb’s palsy.
Why Medical Malpractice Cases Are Different
Hospitals, clinics, and insurers often fight aggressively to deny fault. They deploy teams of attorneys and experts to protect their reputation — not the patient.

Medical Negligence FAQs
What qualifies as medical negligence?
Medical negligence occurs when a healthcare provider’s care falls below the accepted standard, resulting in injury, illness, or death. Examples include misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, and failure to treat.
Do I have a case for medical malpractice?
If a doctor, hospital, or healthcare provider caused harm through negligence — and you suffered damages like additional injury, lost wages, or emotional distress — you may have a valid medical malpractice claim. A Seattle medical negligence attorney can evaluate your situation.
How long do I have to file a medical malpractice lawsuit in Washington?
In Washington State, you typically have three years from the date of injury — or one year from when you discovered the malpractice — to file a lawsuit. It’s important to act quickly to preserve evidence.
What damages can I recover in a medical negligence case?
Victims may recover compensation for medical expenses, lost earnings, future care costs, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and, in wrongful death cases, funeral costs and loss of companionship.
Can I sue a hospital for medical malpractice?
Yes. Hospitals and healthcare facilities can be held responsible for negligence committed by their employees, such as nurses, staff doctors, or administrative failures that result in patient harm.
How hard is it to win a medical malpractice case?
Medical negligence cases are complex and often heavily defended by hospitals and insurers. Working with an experienced Seattle medical malpractice lawyer improves your chances of building a strong case.
Will I have to go to court for my medical negligence case?
Many cases are settled before trial. However, if the hospital or insurer refuses a fair settlement, our trial attorneys are fully prepared to litigate aggressively on your behalf.
How much does it cost to hire a medical negligence attorney?
At Campiche Andrews PLLC, we work on a contingency fee basis — meaning you pay no legal fees unless we successfully recover compensation for you.
