A proven record of verdicts and settlements
Emergency rooms (ERs) are chaotic environments with plenty of room for errors. Hundreds of patients visit local emergency rooms in Seattle every day. Unfortunately, not every patient comes away feeling better than he or she did upon entering the ER. Medical malpractice and hospital negligence can contribute to some of these adverse outcomes. Errors by medical practitioners in emergency rooms can lead to devastating injuries, serious illnesses and even wrongful deaths.

The law in Washington expects medical professionals to adhere to certain standards of care. All practitioners in the health care industry must obey specific laws, rules and regulations to provide proper care to patients. When doctors, nurses or facilities fall below these standards of care and cause patient injuries, victims have the legal right to bring causes of action pursuing financial recovery.
To have grounds for a medical malpractice lawsuit after an ER error, someone must have owed you a duty of care, breached this duty and caused your injury. A lawyer from Paulson Coletti Trial Attorneys PC may be able to help you collect evidence of an emergency room’s negligence or liability for your damages. Only then may you recover compensation.
“Most cases settle, but each of our cases is prepared as if it’s going to trial. The insurance companies know it and so do the defense lawyers defending them. That’s why we get such great results for our clients.”
ER negligence can lead to health disasters that a patient otherwise would have avoided. These can include infections, brain hypoxia, brain damage, hemorrhages, overdoses, heart attacks and many other injuries, illnesses and conditions. An injured patient may have to pay for additional health care costs, on top of dealing with lost wages and emotional injuries. A patient may never fully recover from the harm he or she suffered due to a negligent emergency room practitioner.
In Washington, a successful medical malpractice claim could lead to reimbursement for many related economic and noneconomic damages. An insurance settlement or jury verdict in Seattle could yield compensation for your past and future medical expenses, disability costs, lost income, legal fees, loss of consortium, physical pain and emotional suffering. Although we cannot guarantee results, we have obtained dozens of awards for past medical malpractice clients through our hard work and commitment.
