A proven record of verdicts and settlements
Most people expect their doctor to know exactly what is wrong with them, administer the recommended treatment, and then recover. Yet, there are times when doctors make critical mistakes, including misdiagnosing a medical condition. When they do, that can lead to deadly consequences for those victims. Our Portland misdiagnosis attorney is prepared to help if you or a loved one have suffered harm due to a lack of timely action.
The sooner a doctor spots a problem, the faster a patient receives quality care with the goal of correcting the underlying concern so healing can take place. In the following examples, though, you have conditions that are often misdiagnosed or missed fully, and that leads to the onset of pain and suffering that is unnecessary.
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.
It is critical to know that not every instance in which a doctor does not diagnose a condition immediately could be considered medical malpractice. Rather, this occurs when the doctor does not take the steps and procedures, or analyze the information from labs and exams, the same way other doctors would or otherwise does not follow medical best practices.
Because it is complex to make any medical decision, doctors are tasked with following specific protocols. When they do not do so for any reason, that could put a patient’s life on the line or, at least, cause unnecessary burdens on them. In situations where this is preventable, you may be owed compensation for your losses.
“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.”
Working with a Portland medical malpractice attorney could be the best way for you to find out if you were misdiagnosed through the errors or oversights of a doctor, and, if so, what steps you should take to pursue any compensation owed to you. In each situation, it is critical to get the legal support you need.
