Services
Motor Vehicle Accidents
Our firm specializes in representing victims of car, truck, and motorcycle collisions caused by negligent drivers. We handle all aspects of claims including medical bill negotiations, lost wage documentation, and insurance disputes. With deep knowledge of Oregon traffic laws and insurance practices, we secure compensation for injuries ranging from whiplash to catastrophic brain trauma while allowing clients to focus on recovery.
Medical Malpractice
We advocate for patients harmed by surgical errors, misdiagnoses, and birth injuries. Our approach combines medical expert analysis with legal strategy to prove deviations from standard care. From delayed cancer diagnoses to medication errors, we pursue claims against hospitals and practitioners while explaining complex medical-legal concepts in clear terms to help clients understand their rights and options for financial recovery.
Wrongful Death
When negligence causes a loved one's death, we help families pursue justice and financial security. Our representation covers funeral expense recovery, lost income calculations, and emotional damages. We handle cases involving defective products, car crashes, and medical errors while providing compassionate guidance through Oregon's wrongful death statutes and the emotional challenges of loss.
Premises Liability
We represent clients injured on unsafe properties due to hazards like wet floors, broken stairs, and inadequate security. Our team investigates property owner responsibilities under Oregon law while documenting injury impacts on clients' lives. From grocery store spills to construction site dangers, we prove liability and secure compensation for medical costs and quality-of-life changes caused by preventable accidents.
Dog Bite Claims
We help victims of severe dog bites recover costs for medical treatment and emotional trauma. Our approach addresses Oregon's 'one-bite' rule while proving owner awareness of dangerous behaviors. From initial wound care to reconstructive surgery costs, we hold negligent pet owners accountable while navigating insurance claims to ensure full compensation for physical scars and psychological impacts.
