Services
Personal Injury
Our personal injury practice focuses on helping clients recover compensation for injuries caused by others' negligence. We handle cases involving motor vehicle accidents, slip-and-fall incidents, and wrongful death claims. With over 30 years of combined experience, our attorneys leverage deep knowledge of Oregon personal injury law to negotiate with insurance companies and pursue maximum compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain suffering.
Car Accidents
We specialize in representing car accident victims throughout Oregon, addressing cases ranging from minor collisions to severe crashes. Our attorneys understand the physical, emotional, and financial challenges following an accident. We work to secure compensation for vehicle repairs, medical treatment, and lost income while protecting clients' rights against insurance companies seeking to minimize payouts through our proven negotiation and litigation strategies.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accident cases require specialized legal expertise due to the severe injuries often involved. Our team understands the unique challenges motorcyclists face in Oregon's traffic environment. We investigate all contributing factors, including driver negligence and road conditions, to build strong cases that address medical costs, rehabilitation expenses, and long-term disability impacts while countering common biases against motorcycle riders in insurance negotiations.
Semi-Truck Accidents
Commercial truck accident cases involve complex regulations and multiple potentially liable parties. Our attorneys have extensive experience navigating federal and state trucking laws to hold carriers accountable for driver fatigue, equipment failures, and safety violations. We work with accident reconstruction experts to document damages and pursue compensation for catastrophic injuries, lost earning capacity, and wrongful death claims against well-resourced trucking companies and their insurers.
Premise Liability
We represent clients injured due to unsafe property conditions in Oregon, including slip-and-fall accidents and inadequate security incidents. Our attorneys understand the legal standards for proving property owner negligence and work to document hazardous conditions through photographic evidence, maintenance records, and witness testimony. We pursue compensation for medical treatment, rehabilitation costs, and lost income while addressing long-term impacts on clients' quality of life.
