What is the name of your state? Washington
Looking for an attorney in WA state that could help represent me in a claim against a tattoo/piercing parlor?
Briefly: I got a piercing on a monday, infection started 24 hours later, 1st Dr. visit was urgent care 48 hrs after piercing, 2nd ER visit 12 hours after urgent care visit and 3rd hospital PCU admittance for 4 days infection spread from my ear , across forehead, scalp, cheek and neck. I was diagnosed with Sepsis, pseudomonas perichondritis and cellulitis.
Medical bills are coming in and it’s already over 20k (I do not have health insurance)
The tattoo parlor is not willing to work with me on filing a claim with their insurance. I was able to send dept of lisencing a request for their insurance information and they provided me with it. I have contacted them and received a claim number but not assigned an adjustor yet.
I also have a copy of all of my medical records from all 3 visits, a copy of the waiver I signed at piercing parlor, and pictures I took.
I have a 6 mo old baby and was not able to breast feed her during my care for the infection, I had to arrange child care for her and my 11 yr old son as well as my husband had to miss work
I was in extreme pain.
After my piercing I was not sent home with after care instructions.
And the tattoo parlor is not
