Fighting for Victims of Medical Negligence in Everett

Doctors, nurses, and other healthcare providers are trusted to protect our health—not put it at risk. When that trust is broken due to negligence, the consequences can be devastating. At Park Chenaur Injury Lawyers, our experienced medical malpractice attorneys in Everett understand the complexity of these cases and are committed to holding negligent providers accountable.

Common Types of Medical Malpractice

Everett medical malpractice cases can occur in a wide range of healthcare settings—from local clinics and hospitals to surgical centers and nursing homes. Some of the most common forms include:

  • Surgical errors: Performing the wrong procedure, operating on the wrong body part, or leaving surgical instruments inside a patient.
  • Anesthesia mistakes: Overdosing or underdosing anesthesia, failing to monitor vital signs, or ignoring allergic reactions.
  • Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis: Failure to correctly diagnose a condition in time can allow diseases to worsen and limit treatment options.
  • Medication errors: Prescribing the wrong drug or dosage, or failing to identify dangerous drug interactions.
  • Birth injuries: Injuries to the infant or mother due to negligent prenatal care or mistakes during labor and delivery.
  • Foreign objects left in the body: Careless surgical practices can leave items like sponges or tools inside the patient, leading to infection or further surgery.
  • Failure to obtain informed consent: Patients must be warned of known risks before any procedure. If they aren’t, the provider may be liable for resulting harm.
  • Unsterilized equipment: Contaminated instruments can cause severe infections or complications.
  • Negligent hiring or supervision: Clinics and hospitals can be held responsible for hiring unqualified staff or failing to oversee providers properly.

Whether your case involves a doctor, nurse, pharmacist, or other licensed provider, our Everett attorneys can investigate and determine if your injury was the result of negligence.

Washington State Medical Malpractice Laws

Under RCW 7.70.040, healthcare professionals in Washington must provide treatment consistent with the accepted standard of care in their field. If they fail to do so and a patient is injured, they may be held liable for malpractice.

Potentially liable parties include:

  • Physicians and surgeons
  • Nurses and support staff
  • Pharmacists
  • Dentists and anesthesiologists
  • Hospitals, clinics, and outpatient facilities
  • Mental health professionals including psychologists and psychiatrists

Our legal team knows how to navigate these cases, including when more than one provider or institution shares responsibility.

Time Limits for Filing a Medical Malpractice Claim

Washington’s statute of limitations allows three years from the date of the injury to file a medical malpractice lawsuit. If the injury wasn’t discovered immediately, you have one year from the date of discovery to file.

Because delays can jeopardize your ability to recover compensation, we recommend contacting our Everett office as soon as you suspect medical negligence.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

Medical malpractice victims may be entitled to compensation for a variety of losses, including:

  • Medical expenses: Current and future treatment costs
  • Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress or trauma
  • Permanent disability or disfigurement
  • Wrongful death damages for surviving family members in fatal cases

Each case is unique. We work with medical experts, financial analysts, and life care planners to accurately value your claim and pursue full compensation.

Maximizing Your Medical Malpractice Claim

Hospitals and insurance companies are often quick to deny fault and slow to offer fair compensation. At Park Chenaur Injury Lawyers, our Everett-based team includes skilled litigators and negotiators who know how to challenge these powerful institutions.

We gather extensive evidence, consult with independent medical experts, and prepare every case for trial if necessary. Our goal is simple: to give you the best chance at a successful outcome while minimizing your stress.

Client Reviews

Highly recommend! I was in a car accident in November of 2023 and my insurance didn’t do much to help me so I contacted Park Chenaur Law to see if I can get someone that will help me out.

I was in a car accident and tried to deal with the other insurance company on my own. The person I was dealing with was very aggressive and not easy to work with.

In the summer of 2022, I found myself in a stressful situation after a car accident.  Despite it not being my fault, dealing with insurance was intimidating.  A friend recommended Parks Chenaur & Associates LLP, and it turned out to be a lifesaver.  They not only guided me through the insurance process but ...
