When medical care goes wrong in Tillamook, Oregon, the impacts can be devastating for patients and their families. Medical malpractice cases require specialized legal expertise to navigate the complex intersection of healthcare and law. At Moseley Collins Law, we bring over 40 years of experience helping victims of medical negligence secure the compensation they deserve.

In the state of Oregon, including Tillamook County, medical malpractice constitutes a serious breach of professional healthcare standards. Such cases arise when healthcare professionals deliver care that deviates significantly from established medical protocols, leading to patient injuries or adverse health outcomes.

To establish a valid medical malpractice, claim in Oregon's legal system, three fundamental elements must be demonstrated: first, the existence of a formal healthcare provider-patient relationship; second, clear evidence that the medical professional failed to meet the accepted standard of care; and third, direct causation showing that this substandard care resulted in specific, measurable harm to the patient.

These requirements form the foundation of any medical negligence case and must be thoroughly documented through medical records, expert testimony, and other substantiating evidence.

Medical negligence can take many forms and result in severe consequences for patients. Some frequent types of medical malpractice injuries include:

• Surgical errors and wrong-site surgery
• Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
• Birth injuries and obstetrical malpractice
• Medication errors and adverse drug reactions
• Anesthesia complications
• Hospital-acquired infections
• Emergency room errors
• Failure to obtain informed consent

Tillamook County residents receive medical care from several facilities in the region. Local healthcare providers include:

• Adventist Health Tillamook (formerly Tillamook Regional Medical Center)
• Tillamook County Community Health Centers
