Medical Malpractice
At least 44,000 and as many as 98,000 people die in hospitals each year
as a result of preventable medical errors, according to a November 1999
Institute of Medicine report “To Err Is Human: Building a Better
Health System.” Many more people suffer serious personal
injuries as a result of medical malpractice by doctors, hospitals and
other medical professionals.
At the Law Offices of GRANT & ASSOCIATES we have the knowledge and
experience to navigate the complexities of these often difficult cases,
including those involving:
- Failure to Diagnose a Condition
- Delay in Diagnosis
- Misdiagnosis
- Medical Negligence
- Surgical Errors
- Medical Mistake
- Anesthesia Errors
- Birth Injuries or Trauma
- Prescription Drug Errors
- Misuse of Medical Devices
- Failure to Treat
- Failure to Monitor
The firm has the specialized knowledge and experience required to fully
analyze medical records, hospital protocols, physicians’ credentials
and other relevant documents, determine the appropriate standard of care,
and make a complete assessment of the injured person’s damages,
including economic damages.
What to Expect
The firm’s representation begins with an initial consultation
with our clients and the collection of all necessary records. Once
the records are received, we consult with experts knowledgeable about
the specific fields related to the injury, to determine if negligence,
malpractice or a breach of the relevant standard of care has occurred. Often,
depending on the identity of the responsible party, it is also necessary
to file a state tort claim notice.
Once we have established a claim and identified all potentially responsible
parties, we pursue litigation on our client’s behalf, including
participating in mediation, arbitrations and going to trial when necessary.
The Tacoma Washington employment and personal injury attorneys of Grant & Associates are focused on legal matters including injury, accidents, employment and discrimination cases. Contact our firm to discuss your case with our attorneys.
