Medical Malpractice

The Most Comprehensive Knowledge for Successful Medical Malpractice Defense

In this litigious era, medical malpractice claims are a valid concern for healthcare professionals. The art and science of medical care is imperfect, despite the best efforts of the most qualified physicians and state-of-the-art technology. Yet patients, plaintiffs, attorneys and juries do not always understand this fact.

Hodgkinson Street Mepham brings decades of experience and knowledge to each of its medical malpractice defense cases. We are well versed in the medical negligence laws of Oregon and Washington and a wide variety of medical issues. We strive for the strongest command of information in the courtroom or at the negotiating table. In order to do so, we involve our clients in case preparation from the outset. We consult local and national experts so that our case knowledge is comprehensive and balanced.

The proof is our track record. We have successfully defended medical malpractice cases against some of the best plaintiffs’ attorneys from Oregon, Washington and other states. Jeffrey R. Street is co-managing partner of Hodgkinson Street Mepham, specializing in defending physicians and health care professionals in medical malpractice litigation. With nearly 30 years’ experience and over 65 high exposure medical malpractice cases taken to verdict, Mr. Street is annually recognized as a top medical malpractice attorney in the Portland area and beyond. In 2015 he was recognized as Medical Malpractice Defense Lawyer of the year by Pacific Northwest's  Best Lawyers Magazine, a peer voted honor.

We believe in taking a creative approach to discovery and case presentation. The science involved can be highly technical, and our attorneys believe being the best teacher and presenter of this complex information leads to establishing credibility and authority with the judge and jury. In the courtroom, we use effective demonstrative aides in a variety of media to illustrate medical issues and to persuasively present our clients’ strongest arguments.
