Brad Fulton is the best. Met me in my home. Negotiated and guided me through everything after a really bad head on with a drunk. I dont think he sleeps. Really cares and cares more about clients than money. I recommend him to anyone that will listen.

As another reviewer said - "Five stars is not enough!" I was very focused on finding highly experienced, knowledgeable, and practical counsel to handle my matter. Matt Quick and the Quick Law Group (QLG) provided all that and more. Everyone I interacted with at QLG was professional, responsive, helpful, and a pleasure to work with, as well.

Medical malpractice cases involve a medical professional—such as a surgeon, nurse, or hospital administrator—causing personal injury to a patient due to negligence. In a successful medical malpractice case, your lawyer must prove:
You were owed a duty of care by the medical professional.
In other words, the medical professional was responsible for providing you with care. For example, you were the doctor's patient, the pharmacist was filling your prescription, or you were a patient within the hospital.
A breach of duty occurred.
This means the medical professional failed to meet an applicable standard of care. For example, a doctor failed to properly or timely diagnose your condition, a pharmacist dispensed the wrong medication, or a hospital failed to meet sanitation standards.
Personal injury resulted from the breach.
Considering the examples above, this could mean that a delayed C-section resulted in a brain injury, a patient was injured due to taking the wrong drug, or a patient suffered an infection in the hospital.
Damages resulted from the injury.
You must prove that losses occurred as a result of your injuries. This could mean that a brain injury resulting from a delayed C-section was fatal, a patient required additional medical care due to taking the wrong drug, or a patient required further medical care to address the effects of an infection that occurred in the hospital.

Matt & Liz Quick are a brilliant team. Their staff is also very friendly, professional, and prompt. I called the Quick Law Group on the suggestion of a friend after I couldn't get anywhere with the insurance company of the man that rear-ended me. I was still suffering years after the accident - I wouldn't settle and out of desperation decided to find an attorney. I am so glad I chose Quick Law Group. Matt and Liz walked me through everything. Answered all of my questions, and I felt such confidence in them after just the consultation. I would recommend them to anyone needing great representation in your pursuit of a fair bodily injury settlement.

Liz Quick is a brilliant trial attorney. I was the plaintiff in my case and I remember sitting in that courtroom thinking “She is incredible!” She operated with such ease and such confidence in what she was doing that I just couldn’t be anything less than in total awe of her. She also was amazingly pleasant to just be around. When you are feeling as vulnerable as I felt during during the trial, having someone on your side like Liz meant so much.

We welcome clients from Seattle and throughout Washington State who have suffered personal injuries or the wrongful death of a loved one due to third-party negligence.
Common Types of Medical Malpractice
Misdiagnosis
No one—even a healthcare provider—is above making a mistake from time to time. But if a misdiagnosis results in injury, and it can be proven that the physicians should have been able to properly diagnose the condition and prevent the injury, they could be held liable for medical malpractice.
Surgical Errors
There are virtually countless opportunities to make a serious mistake during a surgical procedure. Some of the most common surgical errors that can constitute a medical malpractice case include puncturing an organ, operating in the wrong treatment area, leaving a foreign object in the body, and performing surgery on the wrong patient.
Birth Injuries
Childbirth requires great care on the part of medical professionals in order to identify potential complications, act accordingly, and take every measure to ensure the safety of both the child and the mother. Common birth injuries that can be attributed to medical negligence include Erb's Palsy (nerve damage in the arm, hands, or shoulders) caused by excessive stretching or pulling during delivery, and cerebral palsy caused by preventable oxygen deprivation.
Anesthesia Errors
An incorrect dose of anesthesia can have devastating effects, including stroke, heart attack, and brain damage. Our Bellevue, WA, attorneys can collaborate with medical experts to determine if an anesthesiologist's mistake is to blame for your injuries. If so, we can file a medical malpractice lawsuit on your behalf.
Medication Errors
A physician has a responsibility to prescribe the correct drug and make sure it won't interact with anything you are currently taking. Pharmacists must take care to prepare the correct drug, and in some settings, nurses must make sure to administer the correct dose of medication at the correct intervals. If errors regarding your medication have caused you harm, our Bellevue, WA, lawyers can pursue justice on your behalf with a medical malpractice lawsuit.
What Should I Do If Medical Malpractice Has Affected Me or a Loved One?
Seek Care Elsewhere
If you have any reason to believe that your physician has made a mistake, change doctors. Your health is always the top priority, and you should do what is necessary to address any symptoms you believe are the result of medical negligence.
Call an Attorney
Once you have taken measures to receive competent medical care, get in touch with an attorney. Our Bellevue, WA, office offers free consultations, so there is absolutely no risk in discussing your case with us. Meanwhile, remember that Washington has a three-year statute of limitations on medical malpractice cases, so it's in your best interest to initiate the process as soon as you are able.
Save All Records
Carefully preserve any documentation received from the professional you believe acted in negligence. Make electronic copies if possible. You should also request copies of your medical records from the caregiver's office immediately.
Keep Discussion of Your Case Between Yourself and
Your Lawyer
Insurance adjusters may reach out to you after your personal injury. They're not trying to help you—they are trying to gather statements and other information from you that could minimize your claim. If anyone reaches out to you to discuss your injury, put them in touch with your attorney and say no more. Meanwhile, social media is a place many of us like to discuss our lives and vent our frustrations. Don't discuss your injury in any public forum, especially social media, which can be easily monitored by those who stand to lose the most if your case is validated.
