Seattle Medical Malpractice Attorney
Legal Help if You’ve Been Injured by Medical Malpractice
When we seek medical help for an injury or illness, we expect that the doctors and other medical professionals we encounter will exercise the highest degree of care and professionalism. We don’t expect that they will harm us.
And yet hundreds of people every year become more ill-or die-because of negligent medical care.
If you’ve been seriously injured due to medical negligence, or you suspect that a loved one died prematurely because of medical malpractice, contact The Law Office of Joanne R. Werner at 1-800-424-3352. Get a strong, knowledgeable, and experienced legal advocate on your side.
Was it Medical Malpractice?
Because of the highly technical nature of medical care, and the uncertainties of working with people who are ill or experiencing a medical crisis, it can be hard to know if medical negligence was the cause of a catastrophic injury, complications of pregnancy, labor or delivery that result in injury to babies, or unexpected death.
You may feel hesitant to talk to a lawyer because you’re unsure if you were harmed through medical malpractice. Consulting a lawyer is the first step in learning about your legal rights. Your initial consultation is free and you may find that you gain greater peace of mind by talking to a lawyer who understands medical malpractice cases. We have achieved successful results in many medical malpractice cases. We may be able to help you as well.
