Our firm is dedicated to helping clients recover damages from a wide range of accidents and injuries.

Bicycle Accidents

Bicycle accidents can result in severe injuries due to the bicyclist’s direct exposure to the bicycle, the vehicle involved, and the pavement. These accidents are relatively common in Portland, where there are many bicycle commuters. Drivers often fail to see bicyclists because they are scanning for cars rather than bikes. When a rider is injured in a bike accident, covering medical expenses often requires examining multiple layers of insurance coverage, including the injured person’s automobile insurance, health insurance, and the automobile insurance of the driver at fault. An experienced bicycle accident lawyer can set up claims for medical coverage and may secure multiple layers of expense and injury compensation.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents involving cars often lead to severe injuries for the rider and passenger due to direct contact with the motorcycle, the other vehicle, and the pavement. Oregon motorcycle insurance does not require no-fault PIP medical payment coverage, meaning injured motorcyclists often rely on their health insurance for medical bills. If health insurance is unavailable, medical providers may need to wait for payment until the case concludes. Our firm can help navigate these complexities and ensure the best possible outcome.

Pedestrian Injuries

Pedestrians, like bicyclists, are often overlooked by drivers scanning for other cars. The duties of care apply equally to drivers who hit pedestrians. Pedestrian injuries are typically more severe than car passenger injuries, and impacts can be devastating. Pedestrian injury lawyers can identify the applicable insurance coverage and work to maximize case value by proving damages and addressing attempts to place blame on the pedestrian.

Trucking Injuries

The sheer weight of commercial trucks makes accidents involving them particularly dangerous. Severe injuries and fatalities are common. The trucking industry often mobilizes investigators, risk managers, and attorneys shortly after an incident. Trucking cases involve additional regulations beyond ordinary traffic laws. A knowledgeable truck accident lawyer can help clarify these rules and build a strong case.

Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

Oregon law requires automobile insurance policies to include coverage for uninsured and underinsured motorists (UM/UIM). UM coverage applies in hit-and-run cases, incidents involving uninsured drivers, or accidents caused by phantom vehicles. UIM coverage applies when a negligent driver’s insurance policy limits are insufficient to cover damages. Each has specific requirements, and our firm has the expertise to navigate these complexities and ensure clients recover what they are entitled to.

Product Liability

Oregon’s product liability laws hold manufacturers and sellers accountable for products that fail to meet reasonable consumer expectations. These claims range from defective vehicles to dangerous pharmaceuticals and workplace machinery. Product liability cases require detailed investigations to prove defects, causation, and damages. Our team can refine legal theories and present strong claims.

Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice is estimated to cause approximately 90,000 deaths annually in the U.S. These claims arise when a healthcare provider fails to meet the standard of care, resulting in injury. Nursing home abuse claims often involve similar challenges. Our firm understands the importance of early investigations and can handle these complex cases effectively.

Wrongful Death

Wrongful death cases involve claims by the deceased’s loved ones for economic losses, companionship, and services. These cases may also require probate proceedings. Our firm has experience in wrongful death claims, helping clients navigate the legal process during difficult times.

Head Injuries

Brain injuries, concussions, and closed head injuries are often considered “invisible” because symptoms such as headaches, memory issues, and light sensitivity may not appear on standard imaging. Our firm can assist in proving these injuries and their impact.

Neck Injuries

Neck injuries, such as whiplash and disc herniation, are common in car accidents and often interfere with daily activities. Our firm can help prove these injuries and their consequences.

Back Injuries

Back injuries range from muscle strains to disc herniation and joint damage. Existing spinal conditions can be aggravated by accidents, creating complex claims. Our team can prove the extent of these injuries and their effects.

Knee Injuries

Knee injuries, including tears to the meniscus, ACL, and other ligaments, often require extensive rehabilitation or surgery. These injuries can significantly affect mobility and work capacity. Our firm ensures these impacts are thoroughly evaluated in claims.

Shoulder Injuries

Shoulder injuries, particularly to the rotator cuff, can limit arm function and require long recovery periods or surgery. Our team is experienced in proving the extent of these injuries and advocating for fair compensation.
