Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Odell, OR

A medical error can turn your life upside down in an instant. Here in Odell, Oregon, we understand how devastating it can be when healthcare providers fail to deliver proper care. At Moseley Collins Law, we've spent over four decades standing up for patients and families affected by medical negligence. Our purpose is simple - to help you get your life back on track and ensure those responsible are held accountable.

When you visit a doctor or hospital, you trust them to provide proper care according to established medical standards. Medical malpractice happens when healthcare providers break that trust by delivering substandard care that causes harm. Here in Hood River County, we frequently see cases where preventable medical errors have left patients dealing with serious injuries, mounting medical bills, and uncertain futures.

Every medical malpractice case is unique, but certain types of negligence appear more frequently in our practice. Understanding these common scenarios can help you recognize when you might need legal help.

Surgery requires immense precision and attention to detail. Even small errors can have devastating consequences. We regularly handle cases involving surgeons operating on the wrong body part, leaving surgical tools inside patients, administering incorrect anesthesia doses, and failing to prevent post-surgery infections. These mistakes often require additional surgeries and extended recovery time.

Getting the right diagnosis at the right time can mean the difference between life and death. We see many cases where doctors missed obvious symptoms, failed to order necessary tests, or misinterpreted test results. These oversights often allow treatable conditions to worsen, leading to severe complications that could have been prevented.

Proper medication management is crucial for patient safety. Common medication errors include prescribing the wrong drug, giving incorrect doses, missing dangerous drug interactions, and ignoring patient allergies. These mistakes can cause severe reactions, complications, and lasting health problems.
