Fighting for Your Rights:  Expert Orthopedic Surgeon Malpractice Attorneys

Our attorneys have successfully handled a wide range of orthopedic malpractice cases, including:

• Surgical Errors: We have extensive expertise in cases involving negligent errors during orthopedic surgeries, such as wrong-site surgeries, improper hardware placement, nerve or tissue damage, and inadequate fixation of fractures.
• Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis: Our attorneys are experienced in dealing with cases where orthopedic specialists fail to diagnose or misdiagnose a condition accurately. For instance, misdiagnosing a bone fracture as a sprain or failing to identify a fracture in an imaging study can lead to complications or prolonged healing time.
• Postoperative Complications: We have a deep understanding of cases involving inadequate postoperative care, such as failure to manage pain, infections, or complications like deep vein thrombosis or surgical site infections.
• Inadequate Preoperative Planning: Our attorneys recognize the critical importance of proper preoperative planning for orthopedic surgeries. We can handle cases where medical professionals fail to obtain necessary preoperative imaging, review patient medical history, or assess potential risks, which can contribute to surgical complications or poor outcomes. For example, the failure to create the proper anticoagulation plan related to the surgery can result in avoidable complications such as deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.
• Inadequate Rehabilitation or Follow-up Care: We understand the significance of proper rehabilitation and follow-up care for orthopedic patients. Our attorneys can address cases where healthcare professionals fail to provide appropriate guidance, therapy, or follow-up appointments, leading to suboptimal recovery or persistent issues.
• Medication Errors: We have extensive experience in handling cases involving errors in prescribing or administering medications, such as incorrect dosages or improper pain management, which can result in complications or adverse reactions.

Attorneys Serving Portland-Vancouver and SW Washington

If you or a member of your family has suffered because of orthopedic medical malpractice in Oregon or Washington, contact our attorneys at Jane Clark Legal.

As your dedicated legal representatives, our role is to demonstrate, through expert testimony, that the treatment provided by the medical professional fell below the standard of care and that the mistake likely caused the injury or death. We handle all aspects of your claim, including gathering necessary evidence, preparing and filing required documentation, and advocating on your behalf during settlement negotiations or at trial.

Our primary objective is to help you recover fair compensation for all your losses, including lost wages, medical expenses, pain and suffering, disability, and loss of enjoyment of life resulting from the medical malpractice. In the unfortunate event of the death of a loved one, we will also seek compensation for your loss, bereavement, and any financial losses resulting from their passing, such as the wages they would have likely earned and the value of the services they provided to the family.

Compassionate Representation in Orthopedic Medical Malpractice Cases

To provide personalized attention, we limit the number of cases we take on, allowing us to dedicate ample time, energy, and resources to every aspect of your claim. Furthermore, we handle all medical malpractice claims on a contingency basis, meaning you will only be charged attorney fees if we successfully recover compensation for your losses.

Do not hesitate to reach out to us at Jane Clark Legal if you require the expertise of knowledgeable orthopedic medical malpractice attorneys. We are committed to fighting for your rights, seeking justice, and obtaining the compensation you deserve.
