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.

- Operations performed on the wrong body part or wrong patient
- Prescription mistakes leading to dangerous drug reactions
