Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Canby, OR

When doctors or healthcare providers make mistakes, lives change forever. Here in Canby, Oregon, we've seen how medical errors impact families - from missed diagnoses that lead to worsened conditions, to surgical mistakes that cause lasting harm. If you or a loved one has been hurt by medical negligence, you need someone who understands both the legal system and the devastating effects these injuries can have on your life.

Medical malpractice isn't just about simple mistakes. It happens when healthcare providers don't follow standard medical practices, leading to serious harm. Here in Canby and throughout Clackamas County, Moseley Collins Law helps people who have been hurt by medical mistakes. With over 40 years of helping medical malpractice victims, we've seen firsthand how these cases affect local families.

In our years of serving the Canby community, we've helped people dealing with many types of medical injuries:

• Surgeons operating on the wrong body part or doing the wrong procedure
• Doctors missing obvious signs of serious illnesses like cancer or heart disease
• Medication mistakes, including wrong doses or wrong medications
• Injuries to babies during birth
• Problems with anesthesia during surgery
• Infections that patients get while in the hospital
• Mistakes in the emergency room when time is critical
• Doctors not telling patients about important risks before treatment

Our community relies on several local healthcare facilities. While most provide good care, problems can happen at any facility:

• Legacy Meridian Park Hospital: Located nearby in Tualatin
• Providence Willamette Falls Medical Center: Serving Oregon City and surrounding areas

The numbers tell a troubling story about medical errors in America:

Research from Johns Hopkins Medicine found that medical mistakes are now the third most common cause of death in our country - after heart disease and cancer. That's more than 250,000 deaths each year from preventable medical errors.

Having a lawyer who knows medical malpractice cases can help in ways you might not expect:

1. Finding out what really happened with your medical care
2. Getting all your medical records (which isn't always easy)
3. Meeting all the legal deadlines (miss one and you could lose your rights)
4. Dealing with insurance companies who try to minimize your claim
5. Taking your case to court if needed

These cases involve several important steps:

1. First meeting to understand what happened
2. Getting copies of all medical records
3. Filing legal paperwork
4. Gathering evidence from both sides
5. Trying to reach a fair settlement
6. Going to trial if necessary
