Portland OR Medical Malpractice Lawyers

Knowledgeable Portland OR Medical Malpractice Attorneys Ready To Help You

• Hospital Errors
• Medication Errors

Medical negligence is estimated to kill 98,000 Americans every year.

Countless other patients sustain serious injuries as a result of mistakes that occur during surgery, from wrong or missed diagnosis, or from medication errors. If you or a loved one suffered from a medical mistake, speak with our medical malpractice lawyers and find out if you have a case.

The Institute for Healthcare Improvement estimates there are 15 million incidents of medical harm inflicted each year. Wrong limbs are removed, tests that prove serious illness are ignored, injury or death is sustained at birth, or patients die from negligence in nursing homes or care facilities.

Doctors and other healthcare providers make mistakes – like any other professionals. When their mistakes fall below the standard of care and cause injury, they are held responsible for medical negligence or malpractice laws.

Instead of admitting accountability, medical professionals, hospitals, or nursing homes in Greater Portland and across Oregon and Washington, often choose to ignore the harm they have caused. Many facilities have large risk assessment departments that defend their staff and help the insurance company avoid taking care of victims.

Medical negligence cases are often complex. Expert testimony is required in nearly every case to show that a healthcare practitioner has fallen below the standard of care. An investigative review is necessary to assess accountability. Though cases may be settled or resolved, insurance companies increasingly choose to litigate these complex and expensive cases.

Let Us Take the Burden Off Your Shoulders

Regardless of whether the insurance company is willing to settle your case or is intent on taking it to trial, at D’Amore Law Group, our Portland OR medical malpractice lawyers will work diligently to make sure you receive the financial compensation you deserve. Our attorneys, led by firm founder Tom D’Amore, have recovered millions of dollars in compensation for victims of medical malpractice, and we can use our experience in insurance settlement negotiations and medical malpractice litigation to aggressively pursue just compensation for the costs of your health care provider’s mistake.

What constitutes “just” compensation for the life-altering effects of medical malpractice? This is a challenging question, and many people will rightfully feel that no amount of money can compensate for what they have lost. If you are unable to work, enjoy life, or place your trust in another doctor, it may seem that no amount of money can truly provide “just” compensation.

But, the direct financial costs of injuries, illnesses, and complications caused by medical malpractice can be substantial, and the compensation available for non-financial costs will often far exceed the damages that are recoverable for out-of-pocket losses. Filing a medical malpractice claim is also important for holding your health care provider accountable and reducing the likelihood of similar mistakes being made in the future. As a result, if you are a victim of medical malpractice, it is extremely important that you take the necessary action to assert your legal rights.
