Questions
What should I do immediately after a traffic accident?
Remain at the scene, exchange information with the other driver, document damage and injuries with photos, seek medical attention, and contact your insurance company. Avoid speaking to the other party's insurance representative before consulting an attorney.
Do I need an attorney for a personal injury claim?
While not legally required, having an experienced attorney significantly improves your chances of receiving fair compensation. We handle insurance negotiations, document case details, and ensure your rights are protected throughout the claims process.
How are attorney fees structured for personal injury cases?
Our firm works on a contingency fee basis - you pay nothing unless we win your case. Fees are calculated as a percentage of your settlement, with no upfront costs or hourly charges.
What types of compensation can I recover?
Victims may receive compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and emotional distress. We work to maximize your recovery by documenting all accident-related costs and impacts.
Can I still file a claim if I contributed to the accident?
Oregon follows comparative negligence rules, meaning you may still recover damages even if partially at fault. We analyze case specifics to determine how shared responsibility might affect your potential compensation.
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit?
Oregon's statute of limitations typically allows two years from the accident date to file a lawsuit. However, we recommend contacting an attorney promptly to preserve evidence and meet insurance claim deadlines.
