When medical care goes wrong, the impact on patients and their families can be devastating. In Sheridan, Oregon, and surrounding Yamhill County communities, victims of medical malpractice need experienced legal representation to pursue justice and fair compensation. With over 40 years of experience handling medical malpractice cases, Moseley Collins Law provides dedicated advocacy for those harmed by healthcare negligence.

In Oregon, medical malpractice law protects patients when healthcare providers deliver care that falls short of accepted medical standards. Though healthcare professionals typically provide quality treatment, when errors occur, patients may suffer serious harm. Oregon law ensures these patients have the right to seek compensation for injuries caused by negligent medical care.

Medical negligence can take many forms, including:

• Surgical errors and wrong-site surgery
• Medication mistakes and improper dosing
• Missed or delayed diagnoses
• Birth injuries
• Anesthesia errors
• Emergency room negligence
• Failure to obtain informed consent
• Hospital-acquired infections due to negligent care

Research from the Journal of Patient Safety estimates that medical errors may cause over 250,000 deaths annually in the United States. Beyond fatalities, countless patients suffer serious injuries that require additional medical care and rehabilitation.

Medical malpractice victims often face:

• Extended hospital stays and additional surgeries
