At Moseley Collins Law, we've spent over four decades working with families just like yours who are facing the aftermath of medical mistakes. Our focus is simple: helping you understand your rights and get the support you need to move forward.

When healthcare providers make preventable mistakes that cause harm, you have the right to seek compensation. In Mount Angel and throughout Marion County, our legal team works to determine if your case meets the legal standards for medical malpractice.

Healthcare providers can make mistakes in many ways. Some of the most serious errors we see include:

• Surgical mistakes happen when doctors operate on the wrong body part, leave instruments inside patients, or cause unexpected complications. These errors often lead to additional surgeries and extended recovery times.
• Medication errors occur when healthcare workers give the wrong medicine, incorrect doses, or fail to check for dangerous drug interactions. The consequences can be severe, especially for patients with other health conditions.
• Missed diagnoses delay critical treatment, particularly with serious conditions like cancer, heart problems, or dangerous infections. When doctors overlook clear warning signs, patients lose precious time for treatment.
• Birth injuries can affect both mother and baby, sometimes leading to lifelong disabilities. Proper monitoring and quick action during delivery can prevent many of these tragic outcomes.
• Anesthesia complications arise when medical teams make mistakes with sedation during surgery. Even small errors can have devastating effects on patients.

Mount Angel residents typically receive care at these major medical centers:

• Providence Benedictine Nursing Center 540 S Main St, Mt Angel, OR 97362
• Legacy Silverton Medical Center 342 Fairview St, Silverton, OR 97381
• Salem Hospital 890 Oak Street SE, Salem, OR 97301

The impact of medical malpractice goes far beyond the initial injury:

Medical errors can cause lasting damage to your body. Brain injuries might affect your ability to work or care for yourself. Nerve damage can lead to ongoing pain or loss of function. Organ damage might require lifelong medical care. Infections from poor hospital care can spread throughout your body. Some patients face permanent changes to their appearance after surgical mistakes.

The effects reach into every part of your life. Many patients struggle with depression and anxiety after medical errors. Lost work time strains family finances. Extra medical bills pile up as you seek treatment to fix the original mistake. Daily activities become harder, and relationships often suffer under the strain.

Recent studies paint a concerning picture:

The Journal of Patient Safety found that medical mistakes may cause more than 250,000 deaths each year in America. That makes medical errors the third most common cause of death, behind only heart disease and cancer.

Looking at payment data, the National Practitioner Data Bank shows that about half of all medical malpractice payments involve either surgical mistakes or diagnosis errors.

Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers discovered that roughly 12 million Americans face diagnostic errors every year in outpatient care. That means about 1 in 20 adult patients might receive the wrong diagnosis.
