Automobile Injury Law
If you have been involved in an auto accident, your own insurance will pay the medical bills you incur from your injuries. The laws covering how much can be paid, and for how long, are complicated and extensive.
Tort Laws in Oregon
Personal Injury cases are civil law cases, in which people seek compensation for injuries they have sustained. Personal injury cases fall under Tort Law, and Oregon has its own specific set of rules governing Tort Law.
Premises Liability Law
Premises Liability law determines when a property owner can be held responsible for an injury. In order to win a premises liability case, it must be proven that the property owner was negligent.
Motorcycle Accident Law
Motorcycles do not typically have personal injury protection (PIP) coverage, which is the mandatory coverage for automobile insurance policies in Oregon. If you are injured in a motorcycle accident and do not have PIP or health insurance, consult a lawyer immediately.
Truck Accidents
If you’ve been in an accident with a commercial truck or vehicle, it’s important to consult a lawyer experienced with personal injury law. Truck accidents can often be more extensive and costly. We will communicate with insurance, so you can focus on healing.
Wrongful Death Lawsuits
Wrongful death occurs when a person is killed due to the negligence or misconduct of another individual, or company. An action for wrongful death belongs to the immediate family members, and can be a long and complicated legal process.
Dog Bite Lawsuits
If you’ve been bitten by a dog or other animal, your legal case will be subject to a combination of city and county ordinances, state statutory law, state case law, and common law. If you have been attacked by an animal, and sustained injury as a result, please call today to schedule a free consultation.
Brain Injury Lawsuits
Brain injuries can occur as a result of an auto accident, truck accident, motorcycle accident, or construction accident, and they are extremely difficult to cope with. The consequences associated with brain injuries can manifest in many different ways, and legal cases can be drawn out and complex.
Drunk Driving Victims
Drunk driving is one of the leading causes of motor vehicle accidents. Drinking and driving leads to impairment, often causing injury and death. If you have been hit by a drunk driver, it is strongly advised to consult with an experienced attorney who will represent and protect your rights in court.
Bicycle Accidents
With bicycle accidents, there is often a lot of talk about who “is at fault”. It’s not always clear who caused the accident, but your injuries are very clear. Fault can be established by investigation, and is a huge part of any legal case, either against the other party, or with the insurance company.
Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrian accidents frequently involve lack of attention, like a distracted driver. If you’ve been hit by a driver or moving vehicle while walking, your legal case can be complex, and may also require investigation. In any personal injury case, an experienced lawyer can help you receive appropriate compensation.
