I highly recommend Ken in need of legal representation. He helped me successfully fight a traffic violation ticket. I couldn't be more satisfied with the outcome.

Liz and her team worked tirelessly to win a great jury verdict for me! Liz worked up my case for a couple of years while I treated for my brain injury and when the insurance company would not pay what they should have, she and her team fought hard at a jury trial and got me a verdict that exceeded the insurance company's policy limits. Thank you Liz for believing in my case!

It's been a rewarding experience with a successful outcome in my favor. Just when I almost lost hope of finding a great lawyer so late in the case, Elizabeth had consulted me in resolving the insurance negotiation case.

They are always available to answer questions and give updates. They are polite and professional. They are amazing. I Highly recommend them.

This was my first time having to hire a lawyer and my husband and I did considerable research before hiring Scott. I was skeptical that we would find someone who genuinely cared about my husband and I and our kids and who didn't just consider us another number. From the initial consultation, we immediately felt at ease and that Scott would make sure that we received the best possible outcome for our case. This immediate feeling turned out to be true - our family ended up receiving more than we expected and I have so much less stress now that all of my family's medical bills are taken care of. Getting into a bad car accident was terrifying, and I can see how the legal hassles that follow could make the whole experience worse. I was so happy that we chose Scott to represent my family and highly highly recommend him and his law firm. THANK YOU Scott!!

Scott was so helpful and thoughtful throughout the entire process of helping my family through a tragic Medical Malpractice claim. His integrity, compassion, and knowledge and ability to guide me through the complex process are the reasons why I would whole-heartedly recommend Scott.
In addition, his staff is amazing! His paralegal and intern are truly the best! Going through the Medical Malpractice process is hard, but knowing that everybody is there to help really eases the stress. Scott's team was always available to take my calls and answer my questions.

Although Bryan didn't take the case on, he returned my call within 10 minutes, brainstormed with me viable options, and helped me formulate a legitimate game plan to try and obtain some justice. Greatly appreciated his candor, intelligence, and time. WA personal injury is a hard field to find attorneys with litigator mindsets that go above and beyond. I say this as someone who has 5 years of personal injury paralegal experience in both CA & WA. Hope I never need it, but if I get in an accident in WA, he will be my second phone call after 911! 12/10 recommend.

Bryan was my attorney on a wrongful death case involving a semi truck in 2017. He was an amazing person to work with. He was the only attorney I even considered hiring. Bryan goes above and beyond for his clients and he truly leaves no stone unturned in order to get the best outcome for his clients. He was always available to talk, very good at explaining things, extremely caring and kind. He is very intelligent and great at what he does. My life is changed because of what he was able to do for my family. I can never thank him enough for his help. Without him and his guidance I would not have made it through this process.

Bryan never stopped fighting for my family! He genuinely cared about us as his clients and worked his tail off to get ALL the money that was available to compensate my son for his injuries! I would confidently recommend him to any one of my family and friends.

I interviewed 2 other attorneys, but I knew when I met David Richardson that he was the one I wanted to represent me
I have also sent a friend to him & will continue to do this as he is terrific.
When we went to mediation he drove way out of his way in the snow to pick me up. That meant he had to go from Seattle to Bellevue then back to Seattle, then brought me back home then he had to go back to Seattle where he lives. All this in the snow, I don't know anyone that would go way out of their way to do this for a client, it just speaks of his professional way of taking care of his client
When ever I had a question he always got right back to me, never made me feel I was bothering him
I will continue to send family & friends to David, he is the best!!

I do not write lightly when I say David B. Richardson is trustworthy, (highly) knowledgeable and an overachiever. His representation has helped me moved on with my life during the whole case proceeding. Please note I said I moved on with my life "during" and not after the case was closed. The stress and negativity from the beginning was lifted off from my shoulders. I did not have to worry if Item A was completed, if Item B was given notice, if Item C received X and so forth. My worries and sleepless nights ended when Mr. Richardson represented my family and I.
He treated us with the utmost respect and always gave us his undivided attention. There were many hoops and hurdles, and although at times it was very stressful, David B. Richardson always assured my family and I that he has everything in control (and he did!). He never made us feel that our actions were limited. He did not ever hesitated to suggest different avenues to approach X, Y, and Z. He kept an opened mind and a positive attitude. We grew to know that Mr. Richardson has an extensive background of experience and valuable varieties of resources.
I enjoyed working with Mr. Richardson. I am graciously thankful and grateful for his representation. If any other unforeseen events were to happen in my life, I know who to call. I profoundly recommend every single person who seeks for an attorney who is (but not limited to): well-respected, respectful, open-minded, an overachiever, courageous, intelligent, a mentor, understanding and detemined to fight for your rights and securing a meaningful recovery for yourself and family. TKO!

In July 2023 I was hit by a car that didn’t stop. I reached out to Premier Law Group because I had met a lawyer there in a workout class and she was so nice that I decided to give them a chance. They did a phenomenal job on my case. I never once felt taken advantage of, lied too or deceived. Jason and his whole team were great at communicating and keeping me in the loop but most importantly they were honest and treated me like a human at one of the lowest points of my life. I cannot say thank you enough and I will always recommend people to use Premier Law Group!!

Premier Law Group did something for me nobody in my entire life has done. That’s believing in me, and caring about my health first. The moment I met Jonathan Lee he made it clear he wanted to see me healthy and able to live an active life with my daughters. He encouraged me to listen to my body because I only get one. In doing so for the first time in my life I’m moving around happier, in less pain, and with some more cheese in my back pocket. I give glory to god first always, but Premier Law Group gave me hope on my low days, and brought in more joy on happy ones. The money on the back end is nice, having your medical bills paid is nice. But when people believe in you and genuinely want to see you reach your full potential. Well you can’t put a price tag on that it doesn't came around too often. Give Jonathan Lee a call at Premier Law Group let him handle the parts of your life that you can’t.

Mr. Carlson always made time to meet with me. We met several times as I had a lot of questions. But, he was patient and answered my questions thoroughly. In the end, he was fair and honest and did NOT overcharge me for his expenses. I felt I received a good settlement. I recommend him.

I love Mr. Carlson. He took a chance on me and won my case. He knows exactly what to do and never let me down. He returned my calls promptly and cared for me like I was apart of his family. I was involved in a near fatal motorcycle accident. He hired experts to videotape the recreation of my accident to prove my case. He is worth his weight in gold and I highly recommend him if you are involved in a motorcycle accident. He took excellent care of be during this whole process.

I could not be better represented, such an amazing group! I 1st became familiar with them a few years ago randomly when they were more than welcoming & helpful.
I didn't need even to employ their services at that time just information/direction.
Of course in this event I required representation & Lehmbecker Law was my choice!
They were AMAZING! Of course the professionalism but additionally stress free for myself overall.
The best settlement with ease & I was always their 1st concern even my personal well being. They were also always available & attentive.
Sincerely a very pleased client.

When it comes to med mal attorneys, Dave is as knowledgeable and trustworthy as they come. He is not afraid to take on challenging cases and has tons of trial experience. He prices is contingency fees fairly and he is helpful to younger personal injury plaintiff attorneys who want to learn the trade, as evidenced by the Forensics course he co-taught at Seattle U School of Law. The day he retires will be a very sad day, indeed.

What a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Can Do for You
A medical malpractice lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been harmed due to the negligence or misconduct of healthcare professionals, such as doctors, nurses, or hospitals. These lawyers assist in cases where a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury or death. Medical malpractice cases can involve misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, birth injuries, and other forms of medical negligence.
If you or a loved one has suffered harm due to improper medical treatment, a medical malpractice lawyer can help you understand your legal options, file a lawsuit, and pursue compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other damages.
When Should I Hire a Medical Malpractice Lawyer?
Hiring a medical malpractice lawyer is essential if you’ve been seriously injured due to the negligence of a healthcare provider or institution. Situations where you should seek legal representation include:
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis: If a doctor fails to diagnose or delays diagnosing a medical condition, leading to harm or progression of the illness.
- Surgical errors: Harm resulting from surgical mistakes such as operating on the wrong site, leaving instruments inside the body, or performing unnecessary procedures.
- Medication errors: Injuries caused by prescribing the wrong medication or dosage, or mistakes made by pharmacists in dispensing drugs.
- Birth injuries: Injuries to a newborn due to medical negligence during labor and delivery, such as failing to perform a timely C-section or improper use of delivery instruments.
- Anesthesia errors: Complications arising from improperly administered anesthesia, which can lead to serious injury or death.
- Inadequate follow-up or aftercare: Suffering due to lack of proper monitoring or care after a medical procedure, leading to complications.
- Hospital or nursing home negligence: Harm caused by the negligence of hospital staff, nurses, or administrators who failed to provide adequate care.
Medical malpractice cases are complex, and hiring a lawyer early can help ensure your rights are protected and your case is handled effectively.
What Does a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Do?
A medical malpractice lawyer provides various legal services to help injured patients hold negligent healthcare providers accountable. Their responsibilities include:
- Evaluating your case: Reviewing medical records and consulting with experts to determine if you have a viable claim based on the standard of care and harm suffered.
- Filing a lawsuit: Initiating legal action by filing a complaint against the responsible parties in the appropriate court.
- Gathering evidence: Collecting medical records, expert testimonies, and other relevant evidence to build a strong case.
- Negotiating with insurance companies: Working to secure a fair settlement that compensates you for your injuries without the need for a trial.
- Litigating in court: Representing you during trial proceedings if a settlement cannot be reached, presenting evidence and arguing your case.
- Calculating damages: Assessing the full extent of your losses, including medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and future care needs.
- Handling expert testimony: Coordinating with medical experts who can testify on how the standard of care was breached and how it led to your injuries.
How Are Medical Malpractice Lawyers Paid?
Most medical malpractice lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, which means they only get paid if they recover compensation for you. Key aspects of this payment structure include:
- Contingency fee percentage: The lawyer's fee is typically between 25% and 40% of the settlement or award.
- No upfront costs: You do not pay any legal fees unless the lawyer successfully recovers compensation on your behalf.
- Case expenses: Costs for expert witnesses, medical record retrieval, and court fees may be deducted from your settlement or award in addition to the lawyer's fee.
Always discuss the fee arrangement during your initial consultation to understand your financial obligations.
How Much Does a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a medical malpractice lawyer is usually based on a contingency fee model. General estimates include:
- Contingency fee: Lawyers typically charge between 25% and 40% of the total recovery amount.
- Case expenses: Additional costs such as expert witness fees and court expenses can range from $5,000 to $50,000 or more, depending on the case complexity.
Ensure you receive a clear explanation of all potential fees and expenses before proceeding with your case.
Top Questions to Ask a Medical Malpractice Lawyer
Before hiring a medical malpractice lawyer, consider asking the following questions:
-
What experience do you have with medical malpractice cases like mine?
Confirm the lawyer has a successful track record with similar cases. -
How do you charge for your services?
Understand the contingency fee percentage and any additional costs you may incur. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Seek an honest assessment of your case's strengths and potential challenges. -
How long will the process take?
Get an estimate of the timeline for settling or taking the case to trial. -
Will you handle my case personally?
Ensure you know who will be managing your case and their level of involvement. -
Have you worked with expert witnesses?
Verify the lawyer's experience in collaborating with medical experts essential for your case.
How to Check the Credibility of a Medical Malpractice Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable lawyer, take the following steps:
- Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association for their license and any disciplinary actions.
- Review their experience: Look for specialization in medical malpractice and a history of successful cases.
- Read client reviews: Consult platforms like Avvo or Martindale-Hubbell for testimonials and ratings.
- Ask for references: Request contact information of previous clients willing to discuss their experience.
- Check professional affiliations: Membership in organizations like the American Association for Justice (AAJ) indicates a commitment to the field.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To maximize the effectiveness of your initial meeting, bring the following:
- Medical records: All documents related to your treatment and injury.
- Evidence of harm: Photos, medical bills, and records of lost wages.
- Communication records: Any correspondence with healthcare providers or institutions.
- List of healthcare providers: Names and contact information of all involved medical personnel.
- Questions for the lawyer: A prepared list to address all your concerns.
- Timeline of events: A detailed chronology of your medical care and the issues encountered.
Being well-prepared helps the lawyer assess your case accurately and advise you on the best course of action.
