Medical Malpractice

Medical Malpractice Attorney, Spokane, Washington

At Sweetser Law Office, I have years of experience representing clients who have suffered severe injuries caused by medical malpractice. When you seek medical treatment, you expect that you will be treated with a certain professional level of care. You trust that the doctors will follow procedures and protocol, that a trained nurse will assist you, and that the hospital will have implemented certain regulations to ensure your safety. Unfortunately medical malpractice is common.

No one deserves to suffer because of medical negligence. Let me help you protect your rights so that you can begin to heal.

Medical malpractice cases and obtaining a “certificate of merit”

In the State of Washington, medical malpractice cases require a “certificate of merit” before you can move forward with your case. Essentially, a medical expert in a similar specialty has to state that the care given fell below the minimum standard and that the patient suffered harm as a result. I will work with you to collect necessary evidence for your case and work with professional medical experts to obtain a “certificate of merit” for your case. Without an attorney, it can be difficult even to get into court.

I am experienced in medical malpractice cases involving:

• Surgical errors
• Hospital negligence
• Misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose
• Wrong procedure
• Lack of informed consent
• Delayed diagnosis
• Birth injuries
• Prenatal care injuries

Experienced advocacy focused on your story and your rights

I understand that every case is unique and the losses suffered by my clients are different in every case. I will take the time to listen to the facts and details of your case and perform an immediate investigation to collect all supporting documentation. I will seek to understand the full extent of your personal and financial losses and use my financial resources to tell your story and communicate your needs to a judge or jury.
