Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Coquille, OR
When medical treatment goes wrong, the aftermath can turn your life upside down. Here in Coquille, Oregon, we've seen how medical mistakes impact not just the patients, but entire families. At Moseley Collins Law, we focus on helping people who have been harmed by medical negligence. For more than 40 years, we've worked with families throughout Coos County to help them get their lives back on track after medical errors.
Medical malpractice isn't just about mistakes - it happens when doctors, nurses, or other healthcare workers don't provide the level of care they should, and someone gets hurt because of it. These cases are never simple. They bring together complex medical issues with detailed legal requirements, which is why having the right legal team matters so much.
Common Medical Mistakes We SeeIn our decades of practice, we've handled cases involving all kinds of medical errors. Sometimes it's a surgeon who makes a serious mistake during an operation. Other times, it's a doctor who misses clear signs of a serious illness, letting a treatable condition become much worse. We've seen cases where patients got the wrong medications or wrong doses, leading to severe complications. Some of our most heartbreaking cases involve newborns injured during delivery because someone wasn't paying attention to warning signs.
Local Healthcare in Coquille and Surrounding AreasOur community relies on several medical facilities for care. While most provide excellent service, problems can occur at any facility:
- Coquille Valley Hospital serves as our local medical center
- Bay Area Hospital in nearby Coos Bay offers more specialized care
- Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center in Bandon provides additional options
The effects of medical malpractice often go far beyond the immediate injury. We've helped clients dealing with:
- Disabilities that changed their ability to work and live independently
- Brain injuries affecting everything from memory to basic functions
- Spinal cord damage leading to paralysis
- Internal organ damage requiring ongoing treatment
- Tragic cases of wrongful death
- Severe infections that should have been prevented
- Birth injuries affecting children's development
- Cancer that spread because it wasn't caught in time
Recent studies paint a troubling picture. The Journal of Patient Safety reports that medical errors cause more than 250,000 deaths each year in America. That makes medical mistakes one of the leading causes of death in our country - something we're working to change.
