No Win, No Fee.
Medical Malpractice Generally:
Medical errors are the third most common cause of death; still medical malpractice
suits are rare. Hospitals and insurance companies hide mistakes with vagueness
and delays.
Doctors rarely admit mistakes. Many patients are given no explanation for the
failure of their treatment. If the explanations for your injuries are incomplete or
don’t make sense, call today.
Corey Law Group works with teams of medical experts to make sure you get the
answers and compensation you deserve.
What is medical malpractice?
Medical malpractice is a legal claim for injuries that result from improper medical care. In Oregon: The elements of a claim for medical malpractice are: (1) a duty that runs from the defendant to the plaintiff, (2) breach of that duty, and (3) resulting harm to the plaintiff measurable in damages.
In practice, medical malpractice actions are unique because the standard of care is established by the medical industry itself and is effectively unique to each malpractice case. Corey Law Group works with top experts to identify the stand of care in your case.
How common is medical malpractice?
Sadly, medical errors are the third most common cause of death in the US. Johns Hopkins patient safety experts have calculated that more than 250,000 deaths per year are due to medical errors.
Do I need an expert witness to testify in my case?
Medical malpractice cases almost always require an expert witness. A medical expert must explain how your medical provider deviated from the “standard of care” and explain the cause of your injuries. Corey Law Group locates top medical experts from across the country to testify on your behalf.
What evidence do I need?
Medical records are the most important piece of evidence in a medical malpractice case. If you have access to your records, please bring them with you. If you do not have copies of your records, Corey Law Group can help acquire copies.
Photos, medical bills, text messages and any notes you made during your care are also helpful.
Do I need to hire an attorney?
It is incredibly rare for a malpractice claim to be resolved without an attorney. Medical providers do not admit their mistakes. To add insult to injury hospitals still charge patients for the cost of negligent care.
