Informed consent can make or break your medical malpractice case.

In Washington State, informed consent is a crucial aspect of medical practice, requiring healthcare providers to fully inform patients about the potential risks, benefits, and alternatives of a proposed treatment or procedure.

This ensures that patients can make educated decisions about their healthcare. Providers must obtain voluntary consent from patients, and failure to do so can lead to legal consequences if complications arise without proper disclosure. Informed consent is an essential part of respecting patient autonomy and upholding ethical medical standards.

A question we’re often asked is the statute of limitations.

In Washington State, the statute of limitations for filing a medical malpractice claim is generally three years from the date of the injury, or one year from the date the injury was discovered, whichever comes later. It's crucial for potential claimants to act promptly to ensure their rights are protected and to seek legal guidance to navigate these time-sensitive regulations effectively.

Ever wondered what exactly constitutes a medical malpractice case?

When a person is injured as a result of a breach of a “standard of care” by a medical professional, that is considered a negligence claim - malpractice.

The difficulty of these types of cases is that they require having an expert witness who will testify that the treating professional breached the standard of care, and that the breach caused the harm or damages to you.

At Winston & Cashatt, our medical malpractice team has the experience and depth of medical knowledge to help you understand whether you have a medical malpractice case, source that expert, and take your case all the way to trial if necessary.

If you or a loved one has been injured by a healthcare provider's negligence, call us today at (509) 838-6131.
