Pursue Justice for Preventable Medical Errors
While we know that no amount of money can replace what you have lost, we
also know that a sudden and wrongful death can result in significant financial
and emotional blow that can further exacerbate the stress and frustration
you are likely experiencing during this difficult time. Furthermore, doctors
are held to extremely high standards of conduct, and go through years
of extensive training to ensure that they can make the right decisions
regarding the treatment of their patients. We believe that doctors who
fail to make competent decisions should be held accountable for the implications
of their actions.
The following are common medical errors that can result in a wrongful death:
The aforementioned errors are avoidable and preventable if a doctor is
competent and attentive. Medical professionals are trained to know how
to respond to every scenario and are expected to keep a calm and cool
head in order to make rational and educated decisions. Their mistakes
and failures can have tragic consequences, and we want to help those who
have suffered accordingly.
Fighting for the Maximum Compensation You Deserve
When you lose a loved one due to the negligence of a medical professional
in Oregon, you deserve to be compensated for any medical bills, funeral
costs, and loss of wages that you suffer. The death of a loved one can
be emotionally trying, but you shouldn't have to shoulder the financial
burden of a preventable death that was caused by medical errors. Our medical
malpractice attorney in Portland can help you fight for the compensation
you deserve.
Factors involved in proving a wrongful death claim include:
- The death of a patient was caused by an error that could have been prevented
- The patient had close family members
- These individuals suffered economic and emotional losses due to the death
- The doctor or hospital is liable for these damages
Proving liability may require extensive and thorough investigation into
the circumstances of your case, as well as aggressive litigation to stand
up to doctors and their own legal counsel.
Our team will consult with medical experts to determine the action that a competent
and careful doctor or nurse would have taken to analyze whether or not
medical error was the direct cause of your loved one's death. We have
the resources and efficiency that you need to ensure that a negligent
doctor is held accountable for his or her actions.
