Renton Medical Malpractice and Personal Injury Lawyer
Before any medical negligence cases are accepted, we exhaustively investigate the case. All medical negligence cases are defended and are costly. Therefore, before a medical negligence case is accepted and prosecuted to trial, it is important to know that the chances of success are excellent.
In June 2006, the Washington State medical malpractice statute was amended requiring a certificate of merit and a ninety day notice of intent to commence an action before a suit can be filed. Although the certificate of merit may no longer be necessary, you should check with a medical negligence lawyer immediately to timely investigate your potential medical negligence case before the statute of limitations runs.

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.

Renton Personal Injury FAQ’s

Otherwise, please feel free to call us to schedule an evening or weekend appointment, either in your home, at a hospital or other location for disabled and injured people, or 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 reason is that the insurance company has a business interest of minimizing your claim and recovery. If you must speak to the insurance company, talk to a lawyer first so that you may be advised and prepared for questions that likely shall be asked. Typically the insurance adjuster will want to take a tape recorded statement of you. Before giving such a statement , you should be prepared and counseled as to how to answer expected questions.
Who will pay for my lost wages and medical bills?
This is a difficult question and it varies from case to case. If you are in a motor vehicle accident, your private medical insurance or the PIP (personal injury protection) coverage on the vehicle in which you were in at the time of the accident will either pay your medical bills, and perhaps wage loss to some extent up front, before settlement of your entire claim. If you do not have medical insurance or PIP, either personally or through work, the insurance covering the vehicle which you were in at the time of the injury will cover the payment of your medical bills and wage loss. Any other monies owed will be paid out of your final recovery when your case is settled.
How long do I have to pursue my case?
There are statute of limitations which govern by when a lawsuit shall be filed. If you do not file a lawsuit in time, the statute of limitations shall time bar recovery and settlement of claims. These statute of limitations vary. You should consult a lawyer immediately to determine by when your case must be filed or settled. Otherwise, if you do not protect your claim against these varying time requirements, your claim shall be time barred by a certain date. Contact a lawyer immediately to determine by when your time shall run out to file a claim for compensation and to recover any money damages. This also covers time limits to file workers compensation claims e.g. L & I.
