A proven record of verdicts and settlements
Negligence is breach of a duty to exercise reasonable care to prevent loss or injury to another person. Nursing negligence occurs when a patient suffers unnecessarily because a nurse does not perform in a reasonably prudent manner to care for the patient. If you have been injured because of negligent nursing, schedule a consultation at Paulson Coletti Trial Attorneys PC. Our Portland nursing negligence lawyer is a tough advocate for people who have been injured through medical errors.
More nurses than ever are being named as defendants in medical malpractice lawsuits. As stated in a Lippincott Nursing Center article, the number of malpractice payments made by nurses nearly doubled in a three-year period. Charges of nursing negligence can arise from a wide range of acts or failures to act that result in patient injury.
Types of nursing negligence include:
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.
Malpractice among nurses is on the rise. Contributing factors include:
Liability in a nursing malpractice case revolves around who is responsible for the nurse’s negligent acts – the attending doctor or the hospital. If the doctor was present and had control to prevent the nurse’s negligence, the doctor may be found liable. The hospital may be financially responsible if the nurse was an employee of the hospital and fulfilling a job duty when the patient was injured.
“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.”
Nursing negligence cases may involve multiple potentially liable parties and complex medical issues. Our experienced medical malpractice attorneys can investigate your injuries to determine and prove negligence, fully assess your damages, negotiate skillfully on your behalf, and fight for your rights in court if necessary.
