Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider violates accepted standards of care, causing preventable injury or death to a patient. Oregon law ORS 677.095 affirms that patients have the right to receive competent treatment meeting professional benchmarks. When poor medical decisions, lack of skill, inattention or negligence harms patients, the responsible physicians, nurses, facilities and staff may face medical malpractice lawsuits.

Some examples of medical negligence claims our Oregon injury lawyers commonly see include:

• Failure to diagnose, delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis of serious illness
• Surgical errors, operating room mistakes and anesthesia mishaps
• Childbirth injuries to mother or infant due to poor neonatal care decisions
• Pharmacy dispensing mistakes and hospital medication errors
• Lack of informed consent regarding treatment risks

To successfully prove medical malpractice in Oregon, our lawyers must definitively establish:

1. A direct doctor-patient relationship existed establishing a duty of care
2. The healthcare provider breached accepted standards of competent care
3. This breach directly caused the patient's injury or death
4. Significant damages occurred due to the medical negligence

We have seen countless instances of medical malpractice resulting in devastating harm for patients and their families. Some of the negligence cases we commonly see include:

Giving birth is supposed to be a magical experience, but preventable medical errors can turn childbirth into tragedy with lifelong effects. Some delivery room errors include:

• Failure to recognize fetal distress
• Negligent use of vacuum extraction or forceps
• Errors administering anesthesia/epidurals to mothers
• Postpartum hemorrhage emergencies due to lack of monitoring

These errors can lead to brain damage, Erb's or Klumpke's palsy, hypoxia, cerebral palsy, and a range of permanent disabilities for infants. Our lawyers will passionately advocate to help children secure medical resources, therapies and care needed.

One of the most devastating medical errors is the failure to promptly diagnose a serious underlying illness or disease. Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnoses include missing or overlooking:

• Heart attacks, aneurysms or strokes
• Cancers such as breast cancer, lung cancer colon cancer
• Appendicitis or bowel obstructions
• Meningitis or sepsis infections
• Diabetes and thyroid disorders

Failure to order proper testing, inaccurate interpretations of tests, and not taking symptoms seriously enough can have grave outcomes for patients. By the time many conditions are correctly diagnosed, the patient's health is significantly worse. Holding providers accountable for these errors takes extensive investigation and litigation. Our lawyers leave no stone unturned in proving negligence on behalf of victims and surviving family members pursuing justice.

Surgical mistakes can range from small mishaps to profoundly life-altering errors including:

• Operating on wrong body part
• Unnecessary procedures
• Retained foreign objects left inside patients
• Severed blood vessels or nerves
• Avoidable post-surgical infections or complications
• Failure to order or review essential lab tests before surgery

Surgeons and facilities should be held fully liable when subpar care and deviations from standards of care cause harm. We prepare strong legal cases when surgical teams fail patients.

Filling prescriptions properly is obviously very important. Yet mix ups and errors take place in Oregon pharmacies regularly including:

• Being given the incorrect pharmaceutical drug
• Being overdosed or under-dosed
• Overlooking harmful drug interactions
• Ignoring documented medication allergies
• Poor communication between medical providers and pharmacists

Any clinical or pharmacy staff errors related to medications can potentially lead to patient harm. Our goal is pursuing full accountability when flawed systems, distracted staff, overloaded schedules or other problems result in medication mishaps.

Successfully winning fair legal remedy in an Oregon medical malpractice lawsuit hinges foremost on having a proficient medical negligence lawyer demonstrate factually that inappropriate medical decisions or lack of oversight definitively caused preventable patient injury, impairment or wrongful death.

Establishing Duty of Care

A direct doctor-patient relationship existed which legally obligated the provider to deliver competent medical treatment meeting established professional standards.

Pinpointing Breaches

The involved medical professionals and institutions demonstrably failed in their clearly defined duty to uphold well-established standards of medical care. Their negligent actions or omissions fell obviously below what every reasonable medical practitioner would have provided given symptoms and history the patient presented.

Proving Causation

The identified breaches from widely accepted medical practice standards caused or significantly contributed to the patient's subsequent profound injuries, permanent disability or accidental death. The grievous harm connects undeniably to medical negligence through expansive expert analyses of every decision made.

Quantifying Damages

The injured patient and family continue facing serious suffering and financial struggles connected to resulting physical harm, mental anguish over disability struggles, lost household wages, out-of-pocket medical bills, and reduced life expectancy - which altogether warrant fair financial damages through accountability.

By the time medical errors result in serious injury or death, the chance for explanation or apology has passed. No excuses restore what substandard medical care takes away.

The seasoned medical malpractice lawyers at Moseley Collins Law devote over four decades of exclusive practice toward helping obtain financial recoveries for these horrible impacts and losses on behalf of every client - money that provides continued medical treatments for disability care, secures palliative assistance through home health aides, and replaces income to support family stability long-term after the main breadwinner gets injured.
