What Is Medical Malpractice in Oregon?

Healthcare providers make a promise to "do no harm." When they break this promise by providing care that falls below professional standards, it's called medical malpractice. Oregon law protects patients in these situations. But proving medical malpractice isn't simple - you need to show that your doctor or nurse didn't meet basic care standards and that their mistake directly caused your injury.

Types of Cases We Handle

Every medical malpractice case tells a different story. Some cases involve quick, obvious mistakes that happen in surgery. Others develop slowly over time, like when a doctor misses warning signs of a serious illness. Here are some common situations we see:

Problems During Surgery

Sometimes things go terribly wrong in the operating room. Surgeons might operate on the wrong body part or leave surgical tools inside a patient. Anesthesiologists might make dosing errors that cause brain damage. Even after surgery, poor monitoring can lead to dangerous infections.

Missed or Wrong Diagnoses

When doctors fail to spot serious conditions like cancer early enough, patients lose precious treatment time. Sometimes doctors mistake one condition for another, leading to months of wrong treatments that make things worse instead of better. We often see cases where doctors didn't order basic tests that would have caught the problem early.

Medication Mistakes

Medication errors happen more often than most people realize. Doctors might prescribe the wrong drug or the wrong dose. Nurses might give medications to the wrong patient. Sometimes the pharmacy fills the prescription incorrectly. These mistakes can cause serious harm, especially when doctors don't check for drug interactions or allergies.
