Tillamook County Medical Malpractice Lawyer

If you or a loved one suffered injuries in Tillamook County due to a healthcare provider’s medical negligence, you need strong legal advocates on your side. Medical malpractice occurs when doctors, nurses, clinics, specialists or other medical staff violate accepted standards of care, resulting in significant preventable harm to patients.

Pursuing accountability against hospitals, insurers and healthcare providers demands extensive resources and legal experience. For over 40 years, our medical malpractice lawyers at Moseley Collins Law have successfully represented clients injured from all types of medical mistakes and negligence including surgical errors, misdiagnosis, childbirth injuries, medication mistakes, and more.

In rural counties like Tillamook, smaller local medical facilities provide essential healthcare services to residents and visitors. However, limited resources and staff inexperience occasionally contribute to negligent patient outcomes. We have seen heartbreaking cases of malpractice involving:

• Surgical Errors - Operating on the wrong body site, accidental organ damage, retained foreign objects left inside patients, post-operative infections, and anesthesia mistakes.
• Childbirth Negligence - Preventable oxygen deprivation during labor and delivery causing lifelong cerebral palsy, Erb’s Palsy or permanent disabilities for newborns.
• Failure to Diagnose - Missing early symptoms of impending aneurysm, heart attack or stroke through inadequate testing and evaluations.
• Infection Control Lapses - Immunocompromised patients contracting antibiotic-resistant superbugs like MRSA or sepsis when facilities fail mandated disinfection protocols.

No family expects negligent medical decisions to forever impact their child or loved one’s quality of life. Standing up to large hospitals demands legal experience families often lack without an advocate. When malpractice occurs in Tillamook County’s limited local healthcare facilities, the lawyers at Moseley Collins Law can fully investigate systemic breakdowns establishing where errors originated and which care providers, nurses or attending physicians breached their trusted duty of care responsibilities owed to your loved one.
