Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Gervais, OR

When something goes wrong during medical treatment in Gervais, Oregon, the effects can turn your whole world upside down. Whether it's a surgical mistake, wrong medication, or missed diagnosis, medical errors leave patients and families struggling with serious injuries, mounting bills, and countless questions about what went wrong. At Moseley Collins Law, we've spent over 40 years standing up for people harmed by medical mistakes, making sure they get answers and fair compensation.

Put simply, medical malpractice happens when a doctor, nurse, or other healthcare worker makes a mistake that another qualified provider wouldn't have made in the same situation, and a patient gets hurt as a result. Here in Marion County, we often see cases where patients suffer because basic safety rules weren't followed or warning signs were ignored.

Every medical malpractice case is unique, but certain types of errors come up again and again in our practice.

• Surgeons sometimes operate on the wrong body part or leave instruments inside patients.
• Doctors occasionally prescribe medications that interact badly with other drugs or give the wrong dose.
• We've handled cases where serious illnesses like cancer weren't caught in time because symptoms were dismissed.
• New mothers and babies can suffer injuries during childbirth when problems aren't handled properly.
• Anesthesia errors during surgery can lead to patients waking up during procedures or suffering brain damage.
• Even basic lapses in cleaning and sanitizing medical equipment can cause dangerous infections.
