Protecting Your Rights After an Accident

Our personal injury lawyers have what it takes to take a case to a settlement or litigation. Whatever needs to be done to get you the compensation that you need and deserve, we know how to handle it.

What Your Case Could Be Worth

How much compensation can you demand from the other party in your personal injury case? The answer will depend on how badly you were injured and what parts of your day-to-day life have changed because of those injuries. You can depend on our personal injury attorneys to calculate the value of the damages owed to you.

Your case’s value will include these damages or losses:

• Medical costs: You should not have to pay for any medical care out of pocket when the accident was not your fault. The damages should include the cost of future medical treatments, too.
• Lost wages: If you have missed work and your income sank due to new limitations, then you should be compensated for those losses.
• Permanent disabilities: Miscellaneous costs and losses caused by a disability can be factored into the value of your injury claim.
• Pain and suffering: Oregon allows you to seek financial compensation related to your pain, suffering, emotional trauma, lessened enjoyment of life, and shortened life expectancy.

Oregon Personal Injury Statute of Limitations

There is a two-year statute of limitations on Oregon personal injury cases. You have two years from the date that your injury occurred or became apparent to file a claim against the liable parties. Missing this deadline will prevent you from filing a claim after, even if you are prepared with a stack of useful evidence.

Who Should Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?

Anyone who has been injured in an accident can benefit from hiring a personal injury attorney. However, it almost becomes a necessity for certain injury claimants.

You can benefit greatly from hiring a personal injury lawyer if:

• Your injuries are serious or life-changing.
• Your damages are significant.
• You aren’t familiar with legal processes.
• The opposing party is denying any liability.
• The opposing party won’t offer a fair settlement.
• The opposing party is pushing you to settle.
