Oregon Personal Injury Lawyer
Serious Accident & Injury Attorneys in the Portland Area
Serious accidents and injuries don’t just cause temporary physical pain and suffering, they can cause a lifetime of suffering, mental anguish, lost income and expenses, and they can be a terrible hardship on family members left to care for the injured person. If you or someone you love has been injured in an accident or suffered wrongful death, then you need to know our commitment to you: no case is settled until it’s settled right.
What will it be like to be a client of ours? You will be pleasantly surprised. We believe in personal as well as professional service. We will take care of your legal needs. Unlike some large impersonal law offices, where you might feel as if you are just a number, we care about you and your concerns and we will do everything in our power to help you. You will be able to speak with your lawyer personally, not just with legal assistants and paralegals.
Medical Malpractice
Any time you go to the doctor or you spend time in the hospital, you put your faith in the nurses, doctors, and other hospital staff with the expectation that they will take good care of you. Unfortunately, this does not always happen, and medical mistakes result in serious injuries and sometimes death. Sadly, we have seen many cases where our clients were injured by the negligence of doctors, nurses, and hospitals. You don’t deserve to suffer without compensation for the rest of your life because of a medical mistake.
Auto Accidents and Car Wrecks
No matter the type of auto accident you’ve been involved in – speeding, drug or alcohol impairment, highway accident, lane change accident, side or rear impact collision, truck accident, pedestrian accident – our motor vehicle injury lawyers have handled them all. We also knows about the types of injuries that these accidents cause, including whiplash, sprain and strain injuries, bone fractures, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, wrongful death and more.
Accidents and Injuries
The accident and injury category includes car wrecks, but also people injured in slips, trips and falls and other unsafe conditions on property, boating accidents, ATV and snowmobile accidents, motorcycle accidents, accidents involving aircraft, defective products and equipment, and dog bites.
We know the importance of learning about the situation so we can provide you with only the advice you truly need, in order to meet the goals you’ve set. That means the first thing we do is listen to you. This is your case and your life. Not ours. By understanding our clients concerns, questions and fears, only then can we provide you with the information and options that best fit your situation. And ultimately, you make the decisions, hopefully after listening to our advice regarding possible outcomes.
On the Job Injuries
If you are injured at work either through an accident, exposure to harmful substances, or from an occupational disease or repetitive trauma injury, you may have a workers' compensation claim. Workers' compensation insurance may provide benefits for vocational training if you are unable to return to the same job, and can provide temporary disability benefits if your injury has left you disabled and therefore unable to work. Oregon has numerous laws and rules controlling the state's workers' compensation system. An attorney can help an injured worker like you navigate the complex rules and regulations. Also, an attorney only gets paid if he is able to recover an award for you.
Disability Claims
Disability Claims include social security disability, private disability insurance, and work related disability.
Whether you are seeking social security disability compensation, or long term disability benefits on a private policy, the process can be frustrating, overwhelming, and confusing. Many people are denied and then denied again before they are approved for benefits. Although there are many demanding requirements throughout the disability process, you should remember that the key to obtaining disability benefits is to not give up. Having an attorney assist you in obtaining disability compensation can help you prove your case. Also, an attorney only gets paid if he is able to recover an award for you.
