Medical malpractice isn't just about mistakes – it happens when healthcare providers don't follow standard medical practices, and someone gets hurt as a result. Oregon law protects patients in these situations, but proving medical malpractice takes deep knowledge of both medicine and law. These cases need careful handling by lawyers who understand the complexities involved.
Ways Medical Care Can Go WrongUnfortunately, there are many ways that medical care can lead to serious harm. Here are some of the most common problems we see:
Problems During SurgeryThis includes operating on the wrong body part, leaving medical tools inside patients, giving too much or too little anesthesia, or not preventing serious infections after surgery.
Missing or Wrong DiagnosesWhen doctors miss signs of serious illness or mistake one condition for another, precious time is lost. This is especially dangerous with conditions like cancer, heart problems, or infections that get worse without proper treatment. Sometimes test results get mixed up or important follow-up tests never happen.
Medication MistakesTaking the wrong medicine or the wrong amount can be deadly. We often see cases where patients get medications they're allergic to, receive dangerous combinations of drugs, or get doses that are much too high or low. These mistakes can happen anywhere – in hospitals, at the pharmacy, or during routine doctor visits.
Healthcare Centers Near Shady CoveOur community has access to several major medical facilities:

The numbers tell a sobering story. Research from Johns Hopkins Medicine shows medical errors are now the third most common cause of death in America, after heart disease and cancer. Studies in the Journal of Patient Safety estimate between 210,000 and 440,000 people die each year in U.S. hospitals because of preventable medical mistakes.
