Every year more Americans are killed through medical
negligence than die in automobile accidents. Nonetheless, many doctors claim to be victimized by patients and lawyers who
litter the courts with baseless lawsuits that drive up the cost of malpractice insurance and the practice of medicine. Call
us to learn more about the efforts being taken by medical professionals and insurance companies in Oregon to limit the amount
of damages injured victims may be entitled to recover. While the issues sound complex, the basic crux of a medical malpractice
or medical negligence case is not too difficult to understand.
Medical malpractice, simply put, occurs when your medical provider deviates from the normal standard of care. Medical
providers are required to exercise reasonable care in accordance with the standards of care for the profession involved. If
a doctor, surgeon, hospital, or other medical provider acts, or fails to act, in a manner that deviates from the accepted
standard of care, then that provider may be liable for an injured person's damages. Though the majority of health care providers
do good work, mistakes are sometimes made which could adversely affect a person, as well as their family and friends, for
the rest of their lives. At the Law Office of Robert A. Miller, we represent individuals and their families whose medical
provider has breached the standard of care in diagnosing or treating medical conditions. We have extensive experience in cases
involving:
- Birth-related injuries
- Brain injuries
- Surgical errors
- Misdiagnosis or late diagnosis
- Failure to diagnose cancer
- Obstetrical and gynecological malpractice
- Patient neglect
- Medication errors
- Emergency room errors
- Nursing home negligence, abuse, and neglect
