The Fraser Law Firm, LLC, represents patients and families in and around Beaverton, Oregon, who were harmed by medical negligence at Providence St. Vincent Medical Center, the OHSU campus in Beaverton, Legacy Health, and Kaiser Permanente Westside. Because our law firm focuses exclusively on medical malpractice and birth injury cases, we have developed an in-depth, nuanced understanding of this complex area of law and the healthcare and medical providers our Beaverton-area clients regularly use.

Dedicated to achieving the best possible results for our clients, we understand the devastating impact a healthcare provider’s negligence can have on a person’s life. Our Beaverton medical malpractice attorney team never loses sight of the people and families we represent.

Types of Medical Malpractice We Handle in Beaverton

The Fraser Law Firm is committed to helping patients and families in Beaverton who were harmed by medical malpractice, representing clients in complex medical malpractice cases involving birth injuries, surgical errors, misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis, hospital and nursing negligence, anesthesia errors, and wrongful death caused by medical negligence.

Some of the medical malpractice claims we specifically handle for Beaverton-area clients include:

  • Birth injuries at Providence St. Vincent’s Family Maternity Center and onsite NICU
  • Primary-care misdiagnosis and specialty-care errors at the OHSU Beaverton campus, including claims involving cardiology, cauda equina syndrome, oncology, and orthopedics
  • Pediatric urgent-care injuries at Legacy’s Randall Children’s Urgent Care

We also handle medical malpractice claims against Kaiser Westside for Beaverton-area Kaiser members.

The Beaverton medical malpractice attorney team at The Fraser Law Firm has a particular expertise in birth injury cases. We know these cases affect not just the child, but the whole family. We seek justice for families who were impacted by birth injuries involving cerebral palsy, brain injury, stroke, broken bones, facial paralysis, brachial plexus, shoulder dystocia, and more.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

Patients and families who were harmed by medical malpractice can recover two types of compensation:

  • Economic damages cover medical bills, the cost of future care and treatment, and lost income.
  • Noneconomic damages cover intangible losses like pain and suffering, loss of function, and loss of enjoyment of life.

Beaverton-area patients are treated by a mix of private and public medical providers, and different rules apply depending on where a patient received care. Providence St. Vincent Medical Center and Legacy Health are private providers and are not subject to Oregon’s cap on noneconomic damages. OHSU is a public entity and is subject to the Oregon Tort Claims Act, which caps compensation and requires a shorter notice deadline.

Every situation is unique, and Beaverton medical malpractice lawyers at The Fraser Law Firm can only provide a realistic sense of your family’s potential compensation after reviewing your case, the specific records, and the providers involved.

How much does it cost to hire a Beaverton medical malpractice lawyer?

What compensation might I be able to recover?

Compensation in a medical malpractice case includes economic and noneconomic losses. Economic losses include medical bills, out-of-pocket costs, and lost wages. Noneconomic losses refer to intangible harms like pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and loss of consortium.

Is Providence St. Vincent Medical Center private or public for malpractice purposes, and does it matter?

Providence St. Vincent Medical Center is a private healthcare provider and is not subject to Oregon’s cap on noneconomic damages.

What if my Beaverton-area care was through OHSU or Kaiser?

OHSU is a public entity, subject to the Oregon Tort Claims Act (OTCA), which caps compensation and requires a shorter notice deadline.

Kaiser is a private, non-profit managed care organization. While it is not subject to damage caps of the OTCA, most Kaiser member agreements include an arbitration clause. This changes the process for seeking compensation but does not significantly alter the amount of compensation available.
