         The field of medicine is as competitive and financially driven as any other field. Patients can have little understanding of the procedures, techniques or medications used, or the risks involved.Unnecessary and overly aggressive medical procedures, procedures that are not consented to, indifference or distraction, and negligence in prescribing medication can result in devastating and irreversible damage to patients and to families.

      The law requires that any person who harms another through negligence is responsible for taking care of the damage caused. Medicine is no different. Damage from negligent medical treatment is often severe. Rehabilitation, family care, continued medical care, wage loss, prolonged pain and/or disability must somehow be addressed.

         Mary Schultz has been a trial lawyer for over 25 years. She has been listed in The Best Lawyers in America since 2003, selected as a Washington Superlawyer since the year 2000, rated "Superb" in AVVO, and named Spokane's top medical negligence lawyer in 2009. She is licensed to practice in Washington and California, and maintains membership in the Spokane and Los Angeles County Bar Associations.
