Understanding Medical Negligence
Medical negligence occurs when a healthcare provider fails to meet the standard of care as defined under ORS 677.095, leading to significant injury or even death. Oregon law requires expert medical testimony to establish what a reasonably competent provider would have done in the same circumstances.
Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis
When a healthcare provider fails to correctly identify a condition in a timely manner, patients may suffer worsening health outcomes that could have been prevented.
Surgical Errors
Mistakes during surgery—such as operating on the wrong site, leaving instruments inside a patient, or causing unintended damage—can lead to devastating, life-altering consequences.
Medication Errors
Prescribing the wrong medication, incorrect dosages, or failing to account for dangerous drug interactions can cause serious harm or death.
Birth Injuries
Negligence during pregnancy, labor, or delivery can result in injuries to the mother or child, including conditions like cerebral palsy or Erb’s palsy.
Medical Device Injuries
Defective or improperly used medical devices can cause infections, organ damage, or other serious complications requiring additional treatment.

Avoid Common Medical Malpractice Mistakes
Delaying Medical Treatment
Seek medical attention immediately after you suspect an injury caused by medical negligence. Delays can worsen your condition and weaken your case.
Speaking with Insurance Adjusters Without Legal Representation
Insurance companies may try to minimize your claim. Never provide a statement or accept an offer without consulting an attorney first.
Failing to Preserve Evidence
Keep all medical records, bills, prescriptions, and correspondence related to your treatment. Document everything as thoroughly as possible.
Waiting Too Long to File
Under ORS 12.110, Oregon imposes a two-year statute of limitations with an absolute five-year outer limit. Missing these deadlines can permanently bar your right to compensation.
