Kirkland Medical Malpractice Lawyer
Serving Kirkland Injury Victims for More Than 40 Years
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider, such as a doctor, nurse, surgeon, or facility, fails to meet the accepted standard of care and that failure causes patient injury. The consequences can be severe: worsening health, permanent disability, or death. If you received care that left you worse off than before, or if a loved one died after a procedure that was supposed to help them, you may have a medical negligence claim worth pursuing.
If any of the following conditions arose after you received medical care, you may have grounds for a medical malpractice or medical injury claim:
- A treatment or procedure worsened your condition or caused a new illness or injury.
- Your doctors, nurses, or other providers refused to answer questions about your treatment or its side effects.
- Your provider failed to offer a diagnostic test or treatment that should have been standard for your condition.
- A loved one died after a procedure or surgery when their prognosis was otherwise positive.
Have you suffered unexpected complications from a procedure where the risks were never properly explained to you? Were you misdiagnosed or diagnosed too late for effective treatment? Have you lost a family member under any of these circumstances? Victims of doctor or physician negligence may have grounds for a claim even when the harm wasn’t immediately apparent after treatment. Attorneys Rob Kornfeld and Neil Lindquist and our legal team are ready to help you understand your options.

Medical Malpractice Cases We Handle in Kirkland & Washington State
Patients place enormous trust in their providers. Doctor malpractice and physician malpractice claims can arise across virtually every specialty, from primary care and emergency medicine to surgery, obstetrics, and hospital-based nursing care. Medical errors remain a leading cause of preventable patient harm in the United States, and we’re here to help injured patients pursue accountability.
Types of Medical Malpractice Cases We Handle
We handle the following types of medical malpractice cases:
- Failure to accurately diagnose
- Failure to diagnose in a timely manner
- Failure to timely diagnose or treat a stroke or aneurysm
- HMO negligence
- Hospital negligence
- Nursing home negligence
- Surgical errors
- Childbirth injuries
- Failure to provide reasonable care
- Failure to obtain informed consent
- Wrongful death
Our case results reflect the range of harm these situations can cause. In Bond v. Valley Medical Center, tried in King County, we secured a $1.2 million verdict after a surgical misread led to an incorrectly performed mediastinoscopy. We also reached a confidential settlement in a medical negligence after surgery case where a failure to properly care for a diabetic foot ulcer led to amputation. HMO negligence and hospital negligence claims often involve institutional failures rather than a single provider error. We have experience handling both.
