Portland Brain Injury Lawyer
20+ Years of Experience and Millions of Dollars Recovered
Damage to the brain can be detrimental to your well-being and ability to
function on a daily basis. The brain is the central hub of the body's
nervous system, the organ that controls movement, memory, speech, feeling,
and utility. When its capacity to perform is limited by an injury, the
implications can be devastating. If such an injury or a wrongful death
is caused by medical professionals, the very people to whom we entrust
our health and safety, they should be held accountable for causing harm.

Brain Injuries Caused by Medical Errors
It is well known that medical professionals must go through years of training
and education before earning the right to practice. The reason for such
extensive training is simple: they hold the lives of their patients in
their hands. Their job holds a significant responsibility in that every
decision they make and every action they take can have serious and costly
ramifications. Thus, they are trained to follow specific and standard
protocol to react to any and all situations with logic, care, and competence.
Unfortunately, this does not always happen, as many medical scenarios can
result in a brain injury when just one mistake is made or one factor is
overlooked. A doctor or a nurse must remain constantly alert for problems
that might arise and respond with educated choices, especially when the
brain is involved. However, distraction and lack of focus can lead a doctor
to make costly errors that can cause significant damage to a patient's brain.
Brain damage can result from medical errors including:
When a brain injury is caused by one of the aforementioned errors, which
are preventable mistakes that a competent and able doctor or nurse would
not have made, this is considered negligence and grounds for a medical
malpractice lawsuit. We believe that you deserve to take action to ensure
that incompetent professionals in Portland are held accountable for the
damages they have done.
Seek the Full and Fair Compensation for Your Injury
Brain injuries can have serious implications on your livelihood. The way

the hands of medical professionals fight for maximum compensation so that

What damages can I recover?

- Pain and suffering
We know that no amount of money can undo the damage that has been done,
but we want to ensure that you do not have to suffer the cost of additional
medical treatment you may need. Furthermore, a brain injury may cause
you to miss days of work, or lose your job altogether. This means that
