Lawsuit Dismissed Against Washington Impaired Physician Program

On December 15, 2017, the Superior Court for Pierce County dismissed a lawsuit against a Washington impaired physician program where the plaintiff, whose medical license had previously been suspended, made allegations of negligence, civil conspiracy, discrimination, retaliation, negligent and intentional infliction of emotional distress, and defamation against the program. Justin Steiner represented the program and filed for summary judgment arguing, among other things, that the program was immune under applicable law.
