Unlike some other states, Washington state does not limit  damages in medical malpractice cases. Depending on your injuries and your case, you may be entitled to compensation for a variety of economic and non-economic damages.

Injured patients can recover for economic damages such as past and future medical expenses, long-term care, lost income and lost future income, and lost consortium (or spousal benefits). Non-economic damages may include pain and suffering, anxiety, mental distress, loss of enjoyment of life, disability, generalized fears and stress, disfigurement, and wrongful death of a loved one.
