Arm yourself with useful information before moving ahead after medical negligence harms you or family.

With extensive backgrounds representing victims of negligence, the legal team at Moseley Collins Law has seen hundreds upon hundreds of instances where substandard medical care or downright negligence caused preventable patient harm. Some of the more frequent medical errors we have encountered include:

Failure to Diagnose/Delayed Diagnosis - Missing early disease symptoms allows conditions like cancer, infections or cardiovascular disease to rapidly advance until reversing damage becomes impossible.

Surgical Mistakes - Errors in operating rooms that breach safety standards remain among the most catastrophic negligence seen. Severe disability and loss of limb functionality occurs through mistakes like operating on the wrong body part.

Childbirth Injuries - When healthcare professionals make poor decisions during prenatal care through delivery, newborns often sustain brain bleeds, cerebral palsy, Erb's palsy, fractures, and other permanent damage.

Hospital-Acquired Infections - We have seen many heartbreaking cases where vulnerable hospitalized patients contracted serious infections like MRSA and sepsis from unsterile medical facilities or instruments, dangerous superbugs, and lapses in staff hygiene protocols.

Medication Errors - Hospitalized patients rely on medical staff to correctly administer all drugs. But errors still frequently happen involving patients given incorrect medications, incorrect dosages, overlooked harmful drug allergies and more.

And other types of medical errors - our extensive legal experience includes seeing many kinds of routine breaches in standards of care that bring catastrophic injury or accidental death to patients. We know how to prove when healthcare professionals negligently cause harm and what it takes for victims to receive justice.

Successfully winning fair and full compensation in an Oregon medical malpractice case hinges foremost on having an experienced medical negligence lawyer demonstrate through facts that substandard medical decisions or oversight caused preventable patient injury, disability or accidental death.

Key legal aspects the Moseley Collins Law lawyer team must conclusively establish to prevail in medical negligence litigation include:

Duty of Care - A direct doctor-patient relationship existed legally requiring healthcare providers to furnish competent medical treatment.

Breach of Duty - The involved medical professionals demonstrably failed in their duty to meet well-established standards of care. Their negligent actions fell measurably below what reasonable medical practitioners would have provided.

Causation - The identified breaches from accepted medical practice standards empirically caused or significantly contributed to the patient's subsequent catastrophic injuries, disablement or wrongful death.

Damages - The injured patient and family continue facing profound suffering and mounting financial losses associated with the physical harm, disability changes, and reduced life expectancy - which altogether warrant fair financial damages.

Successfully proving medical negligence cases relies substantially on assembling convincing expert opinions from independent doctors, nurses and specialists able to authoritatively show - based on close review of patients’ medical charts - where healthcare standards failed, why no reasonable excuse existed for such failures, and how negligent decisions or oversight then brought patient catastrophe.
