When medical care goes wrong, the impact on patients and their families can be devastating. In Independence, Oregon, and surrounding communities, victims of medical negligence need experienced legal representation to protect their rights and seek fair compensation. At Moseley Collins Law, we understand the complex nature of medical malpractice cases and have dedicated over 40 years to helping victims navigate these challenging situations.

Medical malpractice occurs when healthcare providers fail to deliver care that meets accepted professional standards, resulting in patient harm. In Independence and throughout Oregon, healthcare providers have a legal duty to provide competent care. When they breach this duty, patients have the right to seek compensation through a medical malpractice lawsuit.

Surgical mistakes can have life-altering consequences. These errors may include operating on the wrong body part, leaving surgical instruments inside patients, or performing unnecessary procedures.

Prescription mistakes, incorrect dosages, or failing to account for drug interactions can cause severe complications. Healthcare providers must exercise proper care when prescribing and administering medications.

When doctors fail to properly diagnose conditions or delay necessary treatment, patients may suffer unnecessary complications. Early detection and treatment are often crucial for optimal outcomes.
