Medical Malpractice Attorney in Seattle, Washington

Medical Malpractice in Seattle

Seattle and King County offer favorable conditions for malpractice plaintiffs — no non-economic damage cap, a sophisticated jury pool in one of the most educated major cities in the US, and an 8-year statute of repose that gives plaintiffs more time than most states. UW Medicine's Harborview Medical Center is one of the most important Level I trauma centers and academic hospitals in the Pacific Northwest and is a significant malpractice defendant for complex surgical and obstetric cases. Washington's no-cap environment has historically produced large birth injury and surgical error verdicts in King County. Claims against Harborview (a public institution under the University of Washington) may require notice under the Washington Tort Claims Act before suit can be filed.
