When medical care goes wrong, the impact on patients and their families can be devastating.

At Moseley Collins Law, we bring over 40 years of experience helping medical malpractice victims rebuild their lives through skilled legal advocacy and compassionate support.

In the state of Oregon, healthcare providers have a legal obligation to deliver medical care that aligns with established professional standards and practices. Medical malpractice arises when a healthcare professional deviates from these accepted standards, resulting in harm to the patient. Although the majority of medical practitioners maintain high standards of care and professionalism, instances of preventable medical errors continue to pose significant risks to patient safety.

Oregon law recognizes the serious nature of these incidents and provides legal recourse for affected individuals and their families. Through the framework of medical malpractice litigation, victims can pursue compensation for injuries or losses sustained due to substandard medical care.

When healthcare providers fail to correctly diagnose a condition or delay proper diagnosis, patients can suffer severe consequences as their underlying condition worsens without appropriate treatment. Early detection and accurate diagnosis are crucial for many medical conditions, particularly cancer and cardiovascular diseases.

Surgical mistakes can have catastrophic consequences. These may include:

• Operating on the wrong body part
• Leaving surgical instruments inside patients
• Causing nerve damage during procedures
• Administering incorrect amounts of anesthesia
• Post-surgical infection due to improper sterilization

Prescription mistakes, incorrect dosing, and failure to check for drug interactions can lead to serious complications or death. These errors can occur at any point in the medication process - from prescribing to dispensing to administration.
