When people seek treatment at a hospital, they have the right to expect expert and quality care. But sadly, as with any healthcare facility, mistakes can happen. These errors are often medical malpractice and can result in serious injury, permanent health complications, or even death. The most common types of medical malpractice at hospitals include surgical errors, medication errors, hospital-acquired infections, misdiagnosis, and birth injuries.

A Bellevue hospital malpractice lawyer can help victims file a lawsuit against negligent medical practitioners for failing to adhere to accepted standards of care. A successful compensation claim may provide reimbursement of current and future medical expenses, lost wages, and non-economic damages such as pain and suffering.
