Disclaimer: This calculator provides general deadline estimates only and is not legal advice. Medical malpractice deadlines run from when the harm was discovered (or reasonably should have been discovered), which is often later than the date of the actual treatment, and a separate outer deadline (statute of repose) can bar a claim regardless of discovery. Public hospitals and providers (such as OHSU or a county hospital) follow entirely different, generally shorter notice rules than private providers. Always verify deadlines with a licensed Oregon attorney.

The Client Experience

What It Is Like to Work With D’Amore Law Group

Trusting a doctor and being let down by them are two very different experiences. Here is what working with our team looks like, in the words of the people who have lived through medical harm.

We connect the dots other people miss

Sometimes one injury leads to another because of a mistake in your care. We look for that connection.

“I had an additional case of malpractice when I was injured by an MRI tech while receiving care. They negotiated a settlement for the full policy limits, and all of my bills were paid.”

We become part of your support system

A malpractice claim affects your whole family, not just your treatment plan.

“It was an emotional and difficult time. I felt like Doug, Tom, and Erin were part of my family. Any question I had was explained to me in terms I understood.”

We bring both strength and compassion

A case against a physician takes real skill, and it should still feel human.

Being harmed by a doctor you trusted can be hard to even talk about. We cannot undo what happened, but we can carry the weight of holding them accountable, and stay beside you until you are able to move forward.
