Medical Malpractice Lawyer in West Linn, OR
When a doctor's mistake turns your life upside down, you need someone who understands both medicine and the law. Here in West Linn, Oregon, many families face the difficult aftermath of medical errors. At Moseley Collins Law, we've walked this path with countless patients over our 40+ years of practice, turning complex medical cases into clear paths toward justice.
Think of medical malpractice as a serious breach of trust. It happens when a doctor, nurse, or healthcare facility makes a mistake that another reasonable medical professional wouldn't have made under the same circumstances. Here in West Linn, we see these cases far too often, and each one represents a family in crisis.
Common Medical Mistakes We HandleLife-changing medical errors can happen in many ways:
- Operations on the wrong body part or patient
- Missed diagnoses that lead to worsened conditions
- Mixed-up medications or wrong dosages
- Injuries during childbirth that harm mother or baby
- Problems with anesthesia during surgery
- Rushed or negligent emergency room care
- Treatments started without proper patient consent
- Preventable infections from hospital stays
Our community relies on several major healthcare facilities. When things go wrong at any of these locations, we're here to help:
- Legacy Meridian Park Medical Center: A major hospital serving our local community
- Providence Willamette Falls Medical Center: Providing emergency and specialty care
- OHSU Hospital: Oregon's leading academic medical center
Serious Harm from Medical Errors
When healthcare goes wrong, the results can be devastating:
- Lifelong disabilities requiring constant care
- Damage to the brain that changes everything
- Spine injuries leading to paralysis
- Internal organ failures
- Deaths that shouldn't have happened
- Severe infections that spread through the body
- Lost limbs from preventable complications
- Birth injuries affecting both mother and child
Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers found something shocking - medical mistakes rank just behind heart disease and cancer as leading causes of death in America. This isn't just a statistic; it represents real families facing real tragedies.
