Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in Oregon

I have had an intermitant pain in my right side for three years. Numerous tests to try to find the problem. It was a part of the bowel poking through a hernia in my lower right side. I had surgery for the repair of it in Dec. of 2010. When I awoke after surgery I found that the Surgeon had done a different surgery in the wrong place. I still had much pain in my right side. After 10 months of this pain I had a different surgeon do the surgery in the right place this time. It is fixed now.

I feel that I have had to go through a lot of unnecessary pain because of the first Doctors carelessness. Do I have a case or not. I would appreciate an answer.

Thank You Britie Sanborn

Yes, you would appear to have a good case for medical malpractice.

I do not handle cases like this, but the law firm of Kafoury McDougal in Portland does. You can reach them at 503-224-2647 or [email protected]. They provide an initial consultation visit for you at no charge, and they usually take cases on a "contingency" basis, which means that you do not have to pay them, unless they succeed in obtaining money for you from the entity that harmed you.
