Personalized Client Service in Medical Malpractice Litigation
At Miller & Wagner, our attorneys serve the needs of seriously injured people and the families of those who lost their lives through negligent medical care. At the same time, we're proud of our past experience as insurance defense lawyers, working on the opposite side of the kinds of claims we handle today.
Here's How Our Malpractice Defense Experience Can Benefit You
Our law firm decided several years ago to change the focus of our practice from insurance defense to work on behalf of plaintiffs, and we're glad we did. It's much more rewarding to serve the needs of real people and families than it is to work on behalf of corporate profits.
Dave Miller spent the first 20 years of his career defending physicians sued for medical malpractice. It is hard to overestimate the benefits this experience means to our present clients. We know how insurance companies evaluate and resolve medical negligence cases, and we know what a malpractice insurer needs to see before it will take your claim seriously.
We have also developed strong relationships with physicians and medical professionals all over the Northwest. When doctors take your lawyer seriously, they're more likely to take your claim for damages seriously. Medical malpractice claims need the support of doctors who can comment knowledgeably about the performance of the professional whose judgment and performance are under review.
Without testimony from a medical expert who knows what your doctor should or should not have done, your malpractice claim will never get off the ground. Our access to the experts necessary to build your case can represent a powerful advantage for your liability claims.
Doctors Choose Us to Handle Their Own Medical Malpractice Claims
Dave Miller's reputation for skill and integrity among Oregon doctors means that he's often their attorney of choice when they suspect that medical negligence harmed their own family members. Doctors and lawyers share a common interest in improving the quality of patient care, and physicians who trust attorneys to review medical evidence objectively will generally cooperate to prove malpractice against a negligent member of their own profession.
Our law firm's ability to present medical malpractice claims effectively doesn't depend on unnecessary aggression against the medical profession or our former clients in the insurance defense bar. Instead, we've found that thorough preparation and clear presentation of our clients' claims in a spirit of mutual respect can achieve outstanding results for the people we serve, whether we're able to reach a fair settlement or we're presenting your claim to a jury.
Miller & Wagner advises and represents people who have been injured through medical malpractice in western Oregon, central Oregon and southwestern Washington.
