With over 40 years of exclusive representation for victims of negligence harms, the legal team at Moseley Collins Law holds expansive backgrounds handling a wide range of incidents involving substandard medical care or outright negligence causing preventable patient damage. 

Failure to Diagnose/Delayed Diagnosis - Missing subtle early disease symptoms through inaccurate test interpretations or overlooking patient complaints allows conditions like cancer, infections or cardiovascular disease to rapidly advance until reversing damage becomes impossible.

Surgical Mistakes - Errors breaching safety standards in operating rooms remain among the most catastrophic types of malpractice. We have seen victims endure severe disability after wrong-site surgery, retained foreign objects after procedures, improper technique damaging healthy tissue, and overlooked post-operative complications.

Childbirth Injuries - When poor decisions happen during prenatal care through delivery, newborns often sustain bleeding in the brain, oxygen deprivation injury, cerebral palsy, Erb’s palsy, fractures, and other permanent damage from preventable medical errors.

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

Medication Overdoses & Errors -- With complicated drug regimens during hospitalizations, potentially dangerous overdoses, adverse reactions, and medication mix ups still frequently harm patients relying on error-free administration.

And additional varieties of medical oversight - our extensive background includes numerous kinds of routine safety breaches bringing preventable injury or accidental patient death. We know intricately how demonstrating medical negligence compels accountability.

Successfully winning fair compensation in an Oregon medical malpractice case hinges foremost on having an experienced medical negligence lawyer demonstrate that substandard medical decisions directly caused preventable patient injury, disability or death when competent alternatives clearly existed.

Key legal aspects the lawyer team must conclusively establish includes:

Duty of Care -- A direct doctor-patient relationship existed legally requiring healthcare providers to furnish treatment adhering to accepted professional standards appropriate for symptoms and history.

Breach of Duty -- The involved medical professionals demonstrably failed in their duty to meet widely accepted standards of care. Their negligent actions or oversight fell substantially below what reasonable practitioners would have provided.

Causation -- The identified breaches from reasonable medical practice standards definitively caused or significantly contributed to the patient's subsequent catastrophic injuries, permanent disability or wrongful death.

Damages -- The injured patient and family members continue facing profound suffering and escalating expenses associated with resulting physical harm, changes in capability, lost income, medical bills and reduced life expectancy -- which altogether warrant fair financial remedies through accountability.

Successfully proving medical negligence cases relies substantially on assembling authoritative specialists able to 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 brought patient catastrophe when prudent alternatives remained available.
