A proven record of verdicts and settlements
Most patients never expect their doctors to make mistakes. After all, physicians receive years of education and special training in patient care. They should know what is in a patient’s best interest and how to take steps to achieve the best possible health outcomes. Unfortunately, doctors and other health care practitioners make critical errors in their practices every day.

At Paulson Coletti, “liberty and justice for all” is more than just a phrase – it is our mandate.

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.
Oregon’s definition of medical malpractice is a negligent action or omission by a doctor or another health care professional that someone in the same role and circumstance would not have committed. If a doctor did not order the right tests, for example, leading to the harmful failure to diagnose a serious health condition, that doctor may be guilty of medical malpractice. When medical malpractice causes a patient injury or illness, the victim may have grounds for a civil lawsuit in Oregon.
Any error a reasonable and prudent practitioner would not have made in a similar situation could constitute medical malpractice in Oregon. Medical malpractice can take the form of misdiagnosis, failure to diagnose, prescription errors, overdose, negligent nursing care, hospital negligence, dental negligence, surgical mistakes, anesthesia errors and birth injuries. Discuss a possible case with our attorneys today.
“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.”
Seeking compensation for an injury or hospital infection due to medical malpractice could help you and your family achieve closure and peace of mind for the future. Your family may be eligible for a financial award that allows you to pay for your outstanding medical bills, future necessary medical care, and lost past and future earnings. You could also receive an award for noneconomic losses such as pain, suffering, distress, anguish, fear and loss of consortium. Oregon only caps damage awards in wrongful death medical malpractice cases ($500,000 maximum in noneconomic damages).
While there is only one licensed hospital in the city of Eugene, there are several serving Lane County.
