Q. What expenses can I expect to covered when my malpractice case is settled?
Excellent question, but not always with a direct answer unless we know the exact circumstances of your unique situation.
A. You can pursue the following compensation in most situations: 1) Money to cover past, present, and future medical expenses related to your medical malpractice injury. 2) Money to cover other financial and economic damages, such as loss of income earning ability, etc. 3) Money to cover pain and suffering and disability or disfigurement.

Renton Personal Injury Success Story
Jane Doe v. Health Care Center (Superior Court – confidentiality settlement). Patient suffered from horrific headaches, nausea, vomiting, blurred and double vision–was told she had the flu. Over several weeks no imaging studies were ordered of the patient’s brain to rule out an intracranial bleed or subarachnoid hemorrhage. Because of the failure of multiple healthcare providers to consider a subarachnoid hemorrhage and to rule one out by ordering a CT or MRI scan of the brain, the patient’s aneurysm ruptured, causing permanent brain damage.
Total settlement $2,500,000+

How Do I Choose The Right Attorney?
How do I choose the right Renton personal injury attorney?
Choose the right attorney carefully. Be sure the attorney you hire practices only personal injury law. My practice is devoted to helping injured people. My firm only handles personal injury law cases for injured persons or victims of other torts.
My advice is to choose an attorney with whom you are comfortable and trust, one who is sensitive, caring and dedicated to helping injured people, and one who will aggressively represent you. It is unlikely that you will find any other attorney who has been through what I have been after my accident in July of 1985. Hire an attorney who has a track record of going to trial, not just settling cases, as insurance companies will settle for more compensation if your counsel has a track record of going to trial. Please email us at rob@kornfeldlaw.com or call 1 (800) 282-4878. We will gladly send you an informational brochure featuring our firm’s successes at no charge.
Renton Personal Injury Success Story
Spinal Cord injury to Quadriplegic Patient: A quadriplegic passenger strapped and secured in his van suffered a cervical strain-whiplash injury in a car accident. The 72-year-old retired Boeing engineer suffered a partial loss in the use of his neck caused by a chronic cervical strain and muscle spasms. This gentleman’s loss was significant to him as his neck was his sole remaining source of independence. Our client uses a wand, held between his teeth in his mouth, to operate his wheel chair by manipulating the wand between his teeth to operate touch controls on his wheel chair, to operate his computer, and to operate other aids in daily life. His wife was also hurt in the car accident and the UIM insurer, State Farm, offered only$35,000 the week before UIM arbitration. The parties elected to arbitrate her UIM claim. The UIM arbitrator awarded $101,000 plus taxable costs for the wife’s loss of her husband’s consortium and for his wife’s soft tissue injuries suffered in the same MVA.
Total award: $850,000+

1 Dead, 1 Injured In Renton Bar Fight
A bar fight in Renton left a Maple Valley man injured and his son dead.
The King County Sheriff’s Department said both men suffered stab wounds when a large fight broke out at the Red Dog Saloon at about 12:45 a.m. Sunday morning. The fight started inside and involved as many as 10 to 15 patrons, police said. Some of the participants, including the father and son, were pushed outside of the bar, where the stabbing occurred.
The two victims were taken to Harborview Medical Center where the son, 27, died. The father, 49, underwent surgery.
Police said the suspect left the scene and was arrested about two hours later at his home nearby. He was then booked into the King County Jail for investigation of homicide and assault.
It is unknown whether either of the men instigated the bar fight or were merely involved.
Renton Attorney on Paralysis
Paralysis is the loss of strength in a limb or muscle group, resulting in limited motion or mobility. Paralysis is the result of damage to nerve cells that run from the brain to the spinal cord to the muscles. The severity of the paralysis is dependent on the location of the injury.
The following are different forms of paralysis:
Paraplegia – legs are partially or completely paralyzed
Quadriplegia – both legs and arms are paralyzed
Monoplegia – one limb is paralyzed
Diplegia – The same region of the body on both sides is paralyzed
Hemiplegia – one side of the body is paralyzed
Automobile accidents, sports accidents, falls and medical malpractice are just a few of the causes of paralysis injuries. Paralysis may be a short or long term result of the injury. Should it be permanent, the cost to provide for the injured individual can be outrageous, including medical costs, physical and occupational therapy, other specialists, and loss of wages.

FAQ From Renton Personal Injury Attorney
Will my consultation with you be free?
Rob Kornfeld offers all potential clients an initial free consultation in person, by phone or through e-mail. Contact us at 1 (800) 282-4878 or email Rob at Rob@Kornfeldlaw.com Otherwise, please feel free to call us to schedule an appointment at our main office or another meeting location during normal business hours. Appointments may also be scheduled in homes, at a hospital or other location for disabled and injured people. We will strive to speak to you in person at another mutually convenient location.
It is not in your best interest to speak to any representative for the negligent party. Do not speak to an insurance company or the claims adjuster. The insurance company has a business interest to maximize your claim and recovery and pay you less. If you wish to speak to the insurance company, talk to a lawyer first to be advised and prepared for questions that likely will be asked. Typically the insurance adjuster will want to take a tape recorded statement. Before giving such a statement , you should be prepared and counseled as to how to answer expected questions. We do not typically suggest you agree to give a recorded statement to any insurance adjuster.
