Types of Cases We
Handle |

Our role is to
assume responsibility over the personal injury or
medical malpractice claim on behalf of our clients. We
take away the
stress, hassle, and anxiety of
dealing with the legal issues
associated with the claim so our clients can focus on
getting the
medical care and treatment they need.
Our initial consultation is free. If a prospective client has
any doubts
about whether they need the assistance of an attorney, they have
nothing to lose by sending us an e-mail or calling on the telephone to
discuss their claim with us. If we decide to accept the case,
our fees
for most cases are paid as a percentage of the recovery when the
case is either settled or brought to court for a decision.

Medical Malpractice
The term
“personal injury” is a broad one and it includes a
wide
variety of cases. Our most common personal injury cases are
automobile accidents where a car or truck is involved in an accident
with another car or truck. Pedestrian, bicycle, and motorcycle
accidents arising out of collisions with automobiles and trucks are
also a significant portion of our client case load. These cases often
involve very serious injuries to our clients. Clients are
frequently
injured in automobile accidents, pedestrian accidents, bicycle
accidents, or motorcycle accidents with uninsured motorists, which
means that the client’s insurance company is required to
compensate
them for injuries caused by the person who had no insurance.
Many
people do not realize that uninsured motorist coverage is mandatory
in Oregon.
Sometimes clients come to us because they are injured while they
are engaged in their employment, and this is a special type of
personal injury claim called a "workers
compensation third party
claim”. These claims can happen in a wide variety
of scenarios, such
as a delivery driver getting involved in an accident with another car.
Some of our most serious workers compensation third party cases
have arisen out of construction accidents where an employee of a
general contractor or a sub-contractor makes a mistake and it causes
an injury to a worker employed by someone else.
