Medical Malpractice FAQs
What qualifies as medical malpractice in Washington?
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider’s negligence results in harm. Examples include surgical errors, misdiagnosis, failure to treat, and medication mistakes.
How long do I have to file a malpractice lawsuit?
In Washington, the statute of limitations is generally three years from the date of the injury or one year from when the injury was discovered but not more than eight years in total.
Can I sue a hospital as well as a doctor?
Yes. If hospital policies or staff contributed to the error, the hospital may be jointly liable with individual providers.
What if my injury worsened over time?
You may still have a claim. Medical malpractice often results in delayed symptoms. Contact us to assess whether your injury meets the criteria.
Do I need to pay upfront?
No. We work on a contingency fee basis, so you pay nothing unless we win your case.
