Why Most Firms Won't Touch Your Case

Here's what most lawyers won't tell you: medical malpractice is the most expensive, most difficult, and most time-consuming type of litigation in America. Most personal injury firms quietly pass on these cases.

Why? Two reasons:

The War Chest Problem. Medical malpractice cases require expert witnesses who charge $500 to $1,000+ per hour. Radiologists, surgeons, neurologists, life-care planners, economists. A single case can require $100,000 to $500,000 in advanced costs before you ever see a courtroom. The firm pays that upfront. If you lose, the firm eats every dollar.
The Stakes Threshold. Because of those costs, and because these cases take 3 to 4 years to resolve, the damages need to be significant — typically exceeding $1 million in value. This isn't greed. It's math. Without sufficient damages, the case economics simply don't work for anyone, including the client.

We don't say this to discourage you. We say it because you deserve to know what you're getting into. And if your case meets these thresholds, you deserve a firm that has the resources, the experts, and the spine to fight it all the way through.

That's what we do.

Built Different. On Purpose.

We didn't build a traditional law firm. We built something designed from the ground up to take on the cases other firms won't.

Resources to Go the Distance

Medical malpractice is a war of attrition. Hospitals and their insurers have unlimited resources and count on your firm running out of money. We don't run out. We budget for battle and we don't blink.

Elite Expert Network

Our outcomes depend on expert testimony. We maintain relationships with top medical experts across every specialty — physicians who are credible, authoritative, and willing to testify on your behalf.

Technology-Forward Approach

We use advanced technology and data analysis to build stronger cases faster. Medical records review, timeline construction, damage modeling — we move at a pace traditional firms can't match.

Contingency Fee — Aligned Interests

We don't get paid unless you do. That means we only take cases we believe in, and we invest our own money to win them. Our incentives are 100% aligned with yours.

From First Call to Final Verdict

We've streamlined the process so you can focus on recovery while we handle the fight.

Fight to Win

Whether through aggressive negotiation or trial, we pursue the maximum value of your case. We don't settle cheap, and we don't back down.

Medical Malpractice FAQ — Olympia, WA

How do I know if I have a medical malpractice case?
A medical malpractice case exists when a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care, and that deviation directly causes significant harm. In Washington State, you must prove: (1) a provider-patient relationship existed, (2) the provider breached the standard of care, (3) the breach caused your injury, and (4) the injury resulted in substantial damages. Due to the complexity and cost of expert review, cases typically need to involve significant injuries with damages exceeding $1 million to be viable. The best way to find out is to contact us for a free evaluation.
What is the statute of limitations for medical malpractice in Washington?
Generally, you have 3 years from the date of the negligent act or omission to file a medical malpractice claim in Washington. However, you may have as little as 1 year from the date you discovered (or should have discovered) the injury. The absolute outer limit is 8 years from the date of the act. For minors, the deadline may be extended. Because these deadlines can be complicated, contact an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
How much does a medical malpractice lawyer cost?
We handle medical malpractice cases on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay nothing upfront, and we only collect a fee if we win your case. We invest our own resources in expert witnesses, medical records, and litigation costs. If we don't win, you don't owe us a cent.
How long do medical malpractice cases take?
Medical malpractice cases are among the most complex in civil litigation. Most cases take between 2 to 4 years from filing to resolution. Some resolve faster through settlement, while others require a full trial. We keep you informed every step of the way and never rush a case to settle for less than it's worth.
What types of damages can I recover?
In Washington medical malpractice cases, you may recover economic damages (medical bills, future medical costs, lost wages, reduced earning capacity), non-economic damages (pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life), and in cases of egregious negligence, potentially punitive damages. We work with economists and life-care planners to calculate the full value of your claim.
What hospitals and clinics do you handle cases against in Olympia?
We handle medical malpractice cases against all healthcare providers in the greater Olympia and Thurston County area, including Providence St. Peter Hospital, Capital Medical Center, local clinics, urgent care facilities, and individual healthcare providers. No hospital system is too large for us to take on.
