Spokane, Washington, Medical Negligence Claims
If you listen to what insurance companies and their lobbyists say — actual medical malpractice occurs only about half as often as Bigfoot is seen fishing along the Columbia River. But the truth is, physicians, hospitals and other health care providers do not always do the right thing and at times, they do make mistakes that cause serious harm to patients.
Unfortunately, lobbyists have been fairly successful at making it difficult for plaintiffs to win a medical malpractice lawsuit. Now, in fact, many States have imposed caps on non-economic damages and short statutes of limitations on when a medical malpractice claim must be filed. Most have also passed laws requiring victims to have a qualified medical expert backing up their claim before they can even get into court.
For all these reasons and more, you need to talk to an experienced lawyer about your incident of medical malpractice before crucial evidence or your right to file a claim can be lost. And in eastern Washington State and northern Idaho, you can find the experience, resources and help you need at the Spokane offices of Andersen Staab Law P.L.L.C.
