Choosing a qualified Doctor

If you’re concerned about your doctor you can search the Oregon medical malpractice database to see if your doctor has been the subject of a medical malpractice claim. One thing to be aware of if your medical malpractice claim occurred at Oregon Health Sciences University (OHSU) is the claim falls under Oregon Tort Claims Act. The act requires you to give notice to a public organization that you intend to file a lawsuit against them and the notice must be sent to them within 180 days of the injury causing event. If you don’t send this notice you will not be able to pursue compensation against OHSU. It is very important to contact an injury attorney in Portland immediately to discuss the need for sending the notice. There are many myths about medical malpractice claims.
