Undergoing surgery is frightening enough without the possibility of someone in the room making a preventable mistake. Despite years of training, medical industry safety standards and strict protocols at the hospital, thousands of surgeons and surgical staff members make avoidable errors during procedures. When medical negligence causes patient injuries, patients have the right to demand compensation through civil lawsuits in Oregon.
If you believe the surgical mistake or complication that injured you was preventable with an appropriate level of patient care, you might have grounds for a medical malpractice claim. Please contact Paulson Coletti Trial Attorneys PC to discuss your case for free with a Beaverton surgical error attorney.
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.
Taking on a health care facility such as a surgical center alone might not lead to maximum compensation for your injuries. Health care centers have aggressive defense teams that do not want what is best for you. Their insurance companies may try to undervalue your injuries or convince you your claim is invalid so they can save money. Hiring a lawyer enables you to combat bad faith tactics and argue for your true settlement value. A lawyer will want to maximize your payout. If an insurance company refuses to offer a reasonable settlement, your Beaverton medical malpractice lawyer can take the defendant to trial.
The law does not expect surgeons and doctors to do everything perfectly, 100% of the time. Health care providers can legally make mistakes, even if they injure patients – but only if another reasonable and prudent person would have likely made the same mistake in the same circumstances. If you or your lawyer can prove that another medical provider would have done something differently during the surgery and prevented your injury or infection, the surgeon in question could be guilty of medical malpractice.
“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.”
Proper communication and alignment with the hospital or surgical center’s protocols should prevent most surgical errors. Counting all tools and equipment before and after surgery, for example, could help prevent retained surgical foreign bodies. Proper sanitation and patient care could also prevent complications such as infections. If you have an injury or illness from an operation, discuss whether it could have come from malpractice with our attorneys.
