At Moseley Collins Law, we've spent over four decades helping people like you who have been hurt by medical mistakes. We know how overwhelming it feels to deal with injuries caused by the very professionals you trusted with your health.

Medical malpractice happens when doctors, nurses, or other healthcare workers make preventable mistakes that harm their patients. Here in Hermiston and throughout Umatilla County, we regularly hear from people who have suffered because their healthcare providers didn't follow basic safety rules or missed obvious warning signs.

Hermiston residents rely on several local medical facilities for their healthcare needs:

• Good Shepherd Medical Center: This full-service hospital provides emergency care and general medical services to our community

Over our years of practice, we've helped people hurt by many different types of medical errors. Here are some of the most common problems we see:

Getting the right diagnosis at the right time can mean the difference between life and death. We often help people whose doctors:

• Took too long to figure out what was wrong
• Mixed up different medical conditions
• Missed serious health problems entirely

Surgery is always risky, but some mistakes should never happen:

• Operating on the wrong body part
• Leaving surgical tools inside patients
• Giving too much or too little anesthesia
• Not preventing infections after surgery

Even small mistakes with medicine can cause big problems:

• Getting the wrong dose
• Being given medicine that's wrong for your condition
• Not checking how different medicines might interact
• Missing important allergies

Some of the most heartbreaking cases involve babies hurt during birth:

• Brain damage leading to cerebral palsy
• Nerve injuries causing Erb's palsy
• Not getting enough oxygen during delivery
• Shoulder injuries during difficult births

Recent studies paint a concerning picture:

• Medical errors rank as the third most common cause of death in America
• Around 250,000 people die each year because of medical mistakes
• About one in every ten patients faces some kind of medical error
