“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.”
Radiation injuries may be caused by equipment malfunction or human error. Potentially liable parties may include the doctor, various medical staff, the hospital, or the radiotherapy center.
Comparative negligence applies in medical malpractice cases when the injured party is partially at fault for his or her injuries. Damages awarded are reduced by the percentage of fault. A claimant found to be more than 50% at fault for his or her injuries cannot recover damages.
Oregon has special rules for more than one responsible party in medical malpractice cases (joint liability). Each defendant is responsible for a portion of the total damages corresponding to the percentage of fault assigned to that defendant. However, if one defendant is unable to pay his or her share of the damages within a year, the remaining defendants divide and share the responsibility.
