A proven record of verdicts and settlements
Medical malpractice is a civil wrongdoing, not a crime. While a negligent doctor or health care practitioner might not face criminal charges, he or she could be civilly liable for an injured patient’s damages. At Paulson Coletti Trial Attorneys PC, we represent claimants during medical malpractice civil lawsuits in Salem, Oregon. We are passionate about bringing negligent health care professionals to justice in Oregon. If you believe medical malpractice is the cause of your recent injuries or a loved one’s death, contact us to discuss your case for free. One or more parties may owe you financial compensation.
At Paulson Coletti, “liberty and justice for all” is more than just a phrase – it is our mandate. Our team of trial lawyers is driven to pursue justice for the injured, ensuring that the responsible parties are held accountable. With a high success rate both in and out of the courtroom, you can trust our Oregon personal injury lawyers to be the legal advocates you need so your voice can be heard.
Hiring a medical malpractice lawyer in Salem could even the playing field for you during a medical malpractice lawsuit. Instead of going up against a health care center’s powerful insurance company alone, you and your attorney can present a united front. Your attorney can negotiate for the best possible results for your medical malpractice case while you focus on getting well. Your lawyer can identify the defendant, gather evidence of fault, build a strong claim, and navigate a settlement or trial on your behalf.
“Most cases settle, but each of our cases is prepared as if it’s going to trial. The insurance companies know it and so do the defense lawyers defending them. That’s why we get such great results for our clients.”
It is important to understand Oregon’s laws related to medical malpractice lawsuits. Otherwise, you could miss an important filing deadline or make another mistake that may compromise your chances of securing fair compensation. While our lawyers can help you fully understand all relevant laws, we also want to make sure you know those that could interfere with your claim today – starting with the statute of limitations.
You must file the paperwork to bring a medical malpractice cause of action within two years of the date of the alleged malpractice, or of the date you reasonably should have discovered the malpractice, in Oregon. You must also obey the statute of repose: you have an overall deadline of five years from the date of the malpractice, regardless of when you discovered your injuries. If you miss your deadline, the courts in Marion County will most likely refuse to hear your medical malpractice case.
Patients in Salem bring medical malpractice claims for many reasons. They often wish to hold negligent doctors or hospitals accountable for their mistakes for justice and closure. They may also want to fight for change on an institutional level, such as improvements to the way the health care center operates. A driving force for most patients, however, is obtaining compensation for injuries. A successful medical malpractice claim in Oregon could lead to an award that covers your related health care expenses, lost income, legal fees, and pain and suffering.
