For over 40 years, our medical malpractice lawyers have stood beside patients and families, helping them navigate the complex process of seeking justice after medical negligence.

Medical malpractice isn't just about bad outcomes – it occurs when healthcare providers fail to provide care that meets basic medical standards. Here in North Plains and across Oregon, proving medical malpractice requires showing that a healthcare provider's actions fell below acceptable standards and directly caused harm to the patient.

Let's be clear: medicine is complex, and not every unwanted outcome qualifies as malpractice. However, when healthcare providers make preventable mistakes that harm patients, the law provides a way to seek accountability and compensation.

In our decades of practice, we've helped clients deal with various types of medical negligence. Here are some of the most serious cases we encounter:

When surgeons make mistakes, the consequences can be life-changing. We regularly see cases involving:

• Operations performed on the wrong body part
• Surgical tools left inside patients after procedures
• Serious complications from anesthesia errors
• Infections from unsanitary surgical conditions

Missing or delaying a diagnosis can rob patients of crucial treatment time. We handle cases involving:

• Doctors missing clear signs of cancer
• Emergency rooms sending home patients having heart attacks
• Failure to order standard diagnostic tests
• Labs mixing up or misreading test results

Medication mistakes can cause severe harm. Common issues include:

• Prescribing medications that interact dangerously
• Giving the wrong dose or wrong medicine
• Missing patient allergies
• Pharmacy errors in filling prescriptions

Our community is served by several major healthcare facilities. While most provide good care, errors can happen anywhere:

• Tuality Healthcare: The closest major hospital to North Plains, located in Hillsboro
