Medical Malpractice Injuries Call for Experienced Legal Representation
Health professionals are held to high standards of care for good reason-lives are on the line. When doctors, nurses, dentists, hygienists and others fail to meet certain standards or if they otherwise engage in professional misconduct, they may be committing medical malpractice. Some doctors, physicians or other healthcare providers unfortunately cause harm through mistakes, lack of skill or training, ignorance, negligence or by making diagnosing errors.
Oregon malpractice cases may arise out of birth defects or injuries, hospital negligence or pharmacy negligence. Malpractice also may involve nursing home negligence.
