Questions
What qualifies as medical malpractice?
Medical malpractice occurs when healthcare providers deviate from accepted standards of care, causing patient harm through negligence in diagnosis, treatment, or aftercare.
How long do I have to file a claim in Oregon?
Oregon generally allows 2-3 years for medical malpractice claims, depending on injury discovery. Washington has a 2-year statute of limitations for similar cases.
What types of damages can I recover?
Victims may seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future care needs related to medical negligence injuries.
Do you handle cases outside Portland?
We represent clients throughout Oregon and Washington, including Vancouver, Salem, Bend, and Pacific City areas for medical malpractice litigation.
How are attorney fees structured?
We work on contingency fees, meaning payment only occurs if we successfully recover compensation through settlement or trial verdict.
Can I sue for a misdiagnosed condition?
Yes, if a healthcare provider's failure to diagnose caused harm through delayed treatment or incorrect management of medical conditions.
