Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Eagle Crest, OR

When a healthcare provider's mistake leaves you or a loved one seriously injured, knowing where to turn can feel overwhelming. Here in Eagle Crest and throughout Central Oregon, the legal team at Moseley Collins Law understands what you're going through. For more than 40 years, we've helped patients and families rebuild their lives after medical negligence, providing experienced guidance through complex malpractice claims.

Not every unfortunate medical outcome is considered malpractice under the law. Medical malpractice happens when a doctor, nurse, or other healthcare provider fails to follow standard medical practices, and this failure directly harms the patient. These cases require deep understanding of both medicine and law to prove that proper standards weren't met.

In our decades of experience, we regularly see cases involving:

• Operations performed on the wrong body part or wrong patient
• Prescription mistakes leading to dangerous drug reactions
• Missed or delayed diagnosis of cancer and other serious conditions
• Injuries to mothers and babies during childbirth
• Problems with anesthesia during surgery
• Rushed or inadequate emergency room care
• Medical procedures done without proper patient consent

Our region is served by several major medical centers:

• St. Charles Medical Center - Redmond 2500 NE Neff Road Redmond, OR 97756
• St. Charles Medical Center - Bend 2500 NE Neff Road Bend, OR 97701
• Mountain View Hospital 470 NE A Street Madras, OR 97741

Recent studies published in the Journal of Patient Safety paint a sobering picture - medical errors lead to over 400,000 preventable deaths each year across America. Beyond loss of life, we regularly see patients suffering from:

• Permanent disabilities requiring lifelong care
• Brain injuries affecting memory and thinking
• Spinal damage leading to paralysis
• Severe nerve damage causing chronic pain
• Dangerous post-surgical infections
• Ongoing physical pain and limitations
• Depression, anxiety, and trauma
• Reduced ability to enjoy daily activities

The costs of medical negligence often include:

• Ever-growing medical expenses
• Lost paychecks during recovery
• Reduced ability to work in the future
• Special medical equipment needs
• Home modifications for disabilities
• Mental health counseling and support
• Future medical care requirements

We approach each case with personal attention and proven legal strategies developed over decades of practice.
