Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in Washington

Re: medical malpractice

Doctor: The answer to your question is sufficiently important to your financial well-being that I would urge you speak in person with a competent lawyer who is conversant in this area of the law. There are likely lawyers in the Seattle area who specialize in representing medical professionals in just your area of need. You might try contacting the Washington State Bar in Olympia or the King County Bar Ass'n for a referral, unless your inquiry online nets you a good candidate.

Sorry I can't be of greater help, but there are many other questions that ought to be answered before suggesting what business form your practice should take. As a plaintiff's lawyer, however, the BEST answer is to buy HIGH LIMITS of malpractice insurance -- as much coverage as you can buy to protect yourself.

Best of luck to you!
