Medical Malpractice
Medical negligence can change a life in minutes. Delayed diagnosis, surgical mistakes, anesthesia errors, medication errors, and failures to respond to warning signs can result in permanent disability or death. Washington has a specific time framework for many medical malpractice actions, including provisions tied to discovery and an outer limit described by statute, which makes prompt case evaluation important.
Horne & Stone LLP represents patients and families throughout all of Washington state in serious injuries and death claims arising from medical malpractice. Mr. Horne and Ms. Stone pursue accountability against negligent providers and the insurance companies that defend them. These cases are frequently met with institutional resistance, and insurers often attempt to frame severe outcomes as unavoidable.
Your path to a successful malpractice claim starts here
A successful medical malpractice claim depends on proving that care fell below accepted standards and that the failure caused harm. Evidence often includes complete medical records, medication administration logs, diagnostic imaging, operative reports, pathology reports, and the timing of communications between departments. In serious injuries and death claims, damages can include future medical care, assistive needs, lost earning capacity, and the personal costs of living with permanent impairment.
Hospitals and corporate medical groups can be among the most heavily defended defendants in civil litigation. Horne & Stone LLP is built to litigate against that level of opposition. Mr. Horne and Ms. Stone sue the largest companies in the world and take on the defense firms they hide behind.
