Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Lincoln Beach, OR
When you or a loved one experiences harm due to medical care that falls short of professional standards, it can turn your world upside down. Here in Lincoln Beach, our coastal community deserves both excellent healthcare and strong legal protection when something goes wrong. At Moseley Collins Law, we've spent over four decades standing up for patients who have been harmed by medical mistakes.
Medical mistakes can happen in any healthcare setting. When a doctor, nurse, or other medical professional provides care that doesn't meet accepted standards and causes harm, that's medical malpractice. For our neighbors in Lincoln Beach, knowing where to turn for legal help is essential.
Healthcare Providers in Our RegionOur community relies on several medical facilities for care. While most provide excellent service, problems can arise at any facility:
Several hospitals serve the Lincoln Beach area:
- Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital provides emergency and general medical care to our coastal communities.
- Pacific Communities Hospital offers various specialized services to local residents.
The impact of medical mistakes can be severe and long-lasting. Research from the Journal of Patient Safety shows that medical errors lead to more than 250,000 deaths each year across the country. But beyond these numbers are real people and families whose lives have changed forever.
Common Medical Mistakes We SeeIn our years of practice, certain types of medical errors come up repeatedly:
- When Diagnoses Go Wrong: Some doctors miss important symptoms or take too long to identify serious conditions. Others might diagnose the wrong illness entirely, leading to inappropriate treatments.
- Problems During Surgery: Surgeons sometimes operate on the wrong body part or leave surgical tools inside patients. We've helped clients who underwent unnecessary operations or suffered serious complications after surgery.
- Medication Problems: Getting the wrong medicine or incorrect dose can cause serious harm. We often see cases where doctors didn't check for drug allergies or dangerous interactions with other medications.
