Personal Injury / Wrongful Death


Subcategories:


Oregon law allows you to recover money when you are injured by another person’s negligence, and your family to recover money if that negligence causes your death. Usually, this money ("recovery") comes from the negligent person’s insurance company. Also, the negligent party may be personally liable to pay some money for your injuries or death if that person has too little, or no insurance.

Injury or death can be caused by many kinds of negligence (too many to list them all), but some of the most common are: automobile accident, truck accident, bicycle accident, medical malpractice, animal attack (such as a dog or cat bite), and slipping and falling.

If you have been injured, or if a loved one has been injured or lost a life, due to the negligence of another person, please call for a free consultation. I have been handling most kinds of negligence and/or death cases since 1985 but, in the off-chance I do not handle cases such as yours, I can refer you to another attorney. I handle these cases on a contingency fee basis, which means that you will be charged a fee only upon the case being resolved, and then the fee is based on a percentage of the amount for which the case was resolved, either by settlement or trial. In the unlikely event there is no recovery, you do not owe me anything. Please contact my office if you would like to schedule a free consultation.
