A proven record of verdicts and settlements
If you visited a health care center to remedy your injury, illness or medical condition only to suffer additional injuries, you might be the victim of medical negligence. Medical negligence, or medical malpractice, is the failure of someone in the medical industry to uphold the industry’s standards of care, often resulting in harm to a patient.
At Paulson Coletti Trial Attorneys PC, we help injured patients seek justice from medical professionals who are guilty of malpractice in Oregon. You may be eligible for a compensatory award to make up for your medical expenses, lost wages, pain, suffering and other damages. Discuss your case with our Gresham medical negligence lawyers today for more details. Call (503) 226-6361 for a free consultation.
It can be difficult to handle a medical negligence claim on your own. The defendants in these claims are often not individual doctors, but larger health care facilities with powerful legal teams. These legal teams may try to refute your claim, minimize your payout or avoid paying you altogether. Hiring a lawyer prevents these tactics from succeeding. Your lawyer can negotiate a fair settlement on your behalf, arguing for just compensation based on your losses and unique case elements. You can focus on getting well while your attorney negotiates for a positive case result on your behalf.
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.
Medical negligence can describe an act or failure to act within the accepted medical standards of care by a professional in a health care position. If medical negligence causes a patient’s injury or death, the at-fault provider may be liable. A medical negligence claim is a civil lawsuit seeking financial damages from the party or parties that caused the patient’s harm. Most medical negligence claims require four elements of proof.
With these four main elements of proof, you will most likely have grounds to bring a medical malpractice lawsuit in Gresham. You do not need to have a medical expert sign an affidavit to file a claim in Oregon. Your lawyer may need to hire an expert later, however, to testify on your behalf as to the duty of care and breach of duty. Hiring a lawyer from the beginning can help you bring a strong and valid claim to damages.
“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.”
