The setting of an emergency room is different from a standard hospital. It is often busier and more chaotic. It can be easier for staff members to make critical errors that ultimately harm patients. In these situations, injured patients may be able to file causes of action for medical negligence. Many different types of emergency room errors could give rise to lawsuits in Oregon.
Not every adverse patient outcome or unpleasant experience at a local ER will give a claimant grounds to file a medical malpractice lawsuit in Oregon. A plaintiff bears the burden to prove that another emergency room would have done something differently in the same circumstances and that this would have prevented his or her damages, to have a valid lawsuit. The lawyers at Paulson Coletti Trial Attorneys PC may be able to help you collect evidence to prove your case.
The four main elements you will need to establish for a successful medical malpractice claim in Oregon are a standard of care owed, a violation of the medical industry’s standard of care, causation for your injuries and damages suffered. Damages can refer to both your losses and the compensation you could receive through a civil lawsuit.
