Seattle Hospital Error Attorney

Administrators at hospitals face the same challenges as leaders of any other big business — controlling costs and achieving projected revenues on a quarterly basis. Like many other industries, the health care sector has adopted a “do more with less” mentality, which can lead to profit-driven decisions rather than decisions made in the best interests of the patient.

Every day, people put their faith — and their lives — in the hands of medical professionals. More often than not, they deliver the best care possible. But providers get overwhelmed and make mistakes. When they do, the law holds them responsible. Not only does a hospital face an expensive lawsuit when negligence results in serious injury or death, but it also has to answer to state and federal regulators and lawmakers.

Miracle Pruzan & Pruzan in Seattle, Washington, provides aggressive and knowledgeable representation in medical negligence cases against individual medical care providers, as well as institutions such as hospitals, nursing homes, health clinics and outpatient surgical facilities.
