When medical care goes wrong, the impact on patients and their families can be devastating. In Scappoose, Oregon, and surrounding Columbia County communities, individuals who have suffered due to medical negligence need experienced legal representation to advocate for their rights. At Moseley Collins Law, we bring over 40 years of experience helping victims of medical malpractice secure the compensation they deserve.

Medical negligence occurs when healthcare providers deviate from standard practices, causing harm to patients. In Scappoose and Columbia County, while medical professionals typically deliver high-quality care, mistakes occasionally occur. When such errors result in significant injury or loss of life, Oregon law protects the rights of affected patients and their families.

Missed diagnoses, delayed diagnoses, and incorrect diagnoses can have life-altering consequences. When healthcare providers fail to order appropriate tests, misinterpret results, or dismiss patient symptoms, serious conditions may go untreated.

Surgical errors can include operating on the wrong body part, leaving surgical instruments inside patients, or making critical mistakes during procedures. These errors often result in additional surgeries, extended recovery times, and permanent complications.

Prescribing incorrect medications, administering wrong dosages, or failing to check for drug interactions can cause severe adverse reactions. Both doctors and pharmacists must exercise proper care when prescribing and dispensing medications.

Complications during pregnancy, labor, and delivery can result in devastating injuries to both mother and child. Proper monitoring and timely intervention are essential to prevent birth-related injuries.
