Devastating Examples of Medical Negligence
  • Surgical Mistakes - Operating room errors remain among the most damaging types of medical negligence. Our past clients suffered severe loss of limb functionality, disfigurement, paralysis or other permanent disability when safety protocols got ignored during procedures. Botched procedures, retained surgical items and wrong-site surgery prove entirely preventable with consistent preoperative checklist implementation.
  • Failure to Diagnose Diseases – Catching cancers, infections, or vascular conditions early proves critical for survival odds and recovery prospects. Yet overlooking telltale patient symptoms or misinterpreting lab results/scans allows diseases to rapidly advance until reversing damage becomes impossible. Failure to diagnose often robs patients of options, longevity and quality of life.
  • Childbirth Injuries - Fast-paced, high-risk deliveries leave little margin for error, but preventable medical oversight can inflict newborns with lifetime conditions. Reckless mistakes may cause infant developmental delays, cerebral palsy, Erbs palsy, spinal injuries and neurological damage. When poor maternal monitoring or negligent skill exercise fails vulnerable babies, families deserve accountability.
  • Preventable Infections - With rigorous disinfection protocols inside hospitals, many dangerous illnesses caused by IV-line infections, surgical site contamination and antibiotic-resistant “superbugs” like MRSA or C. diff can be prevented. Yet when infection control practices get ignored, patient consequences turn lethal.
  • Medication Errors - Hospitalized patients rely on nurses and doctors to correctly prescribe, dispense and administer all pharmaceuticals. But overwhelmed providers make avoidable errors dosing drugs for already vulnerable patients unable to speak up when something seems amiss. Tragic medication mishaps occur across every department.

And additional types of medical negligence -- our legal team brings extensive firsthand experience with the all too common oversights and errors causing patient catastrophe. We help shine a spotlight on questionable care failing community standards to prevent similar outcomes from ever being repeated.

Proving Medical Negligence Requires Meticulous Legal Preparation

Proving Medical Negligence Requires Meticulous Legal Preparation

Successfully pursuing fair financial compensation for injured clients severely impacted by medical errors relies upon methodical legal preparation and courtroom litigation skills. After partnering for representation, our immediate priorities include gathering all pertinent medical paperwork so respected independent specialists across every specialty involved can rigorously review case aspects.

Identifying each oversight by physicians, problematic judgment calls by nurses, or system failure by hospitals requires collaborating with medical experts across a spectrum of disciplines. For example, assessing a single client’s complex situation could necessitate input from a trauma surgeon to evaluate symptoms addressed in the ER, obstetric specialists to highlight prenatal care concerns, critical care medicine experts to weigh in on post-operative monitoring, physical medicine and rehabilitation physicians to project lifelong impairment outlooks, retained life care planners to detail lifetime equipment/housing/transportation needs, and other top specialists depending on case intricacies.

Under Oregon medical malpractice laws, collecting any monetary damages first requires demonstrating:

  • Duty of Care - A direct doctor-patient relationship existed legally obligating the providers to deliver competent, safe medical treatment meeting Oregon’s professional standards of care.
  • Breach of Duty - Through clear, egregious errors in medical decision making, the involved healthcare providers demonstrably failed in meeting their duties entrusted by patients. Their services deviated from what reasonable medical specialists would have provided given symptoms and histories.
  • Causation - The identified breaches from accepted standards of medical practice directly resulted in subsequent patient injuries, unexpected health decline or accidental death. Preventable harm connects clearly to a pattern of negligence proven.
  • Damages - The injured patients and surviving family members now face profound suffering and losses associated with resulting physical harm, mental anguish over permanent disability, lost household wages, reduced life expectancy, lower quality of life, and extensive financial costs requiring court-mandated compensation covered by the medical malpractice insurance policies.

With such high stakes pursuing proper financial remedies for clients needlessly devastated by medical negligence incidents, the Moseley Collins Law medical malpractice legal team diligently leaves no potential breach or protocol failure unscrutinized while investigating original errors. Our proven litigation approach sets the stage for obtaining optimal remedies through settlement negotiations or jury verdicts at trial if necessary.
