Do You Need Hire an Accident Attorney in Klamath Falls, OR?
If you or a loved one has been injured in any type of accident in which another is at fault, it is imperative that you speak with a seasoned Personal Injury Attorney. Insurance claims can be difficult to navigate by yourself, and often the insurance company does not have your best interest in mind. The following list explains the most common types of personal injury cases we deal with at Dwyer Williams Cherkoss:
Auto Accidents
Automobile accidents are all too common on Oregon roads, and can cause devastating injury to drivers and passengers alike. Often, the injuries incurred lead to expensive medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering for the victims. You deserve an advocate who will help you navigate the legal process; one who will fight to get you what you deserve so that you can get back on your feet.
Bicycle Accidents
Bicyclists assume certain risks when they ride on the streets of Klamath Falls. Appropriate safety gear, including a light and a helmet, can help prevent accident or injury. However, sometimes the carelessness of a driver or another bicyclist causes a serious accident, which causes injuries such as broken bones, contusions, brain injuries, or spinal injuries. This often results in steep medical costs and time spent out of work. The experienced bicycle injury attorneys at Dwyer Williams Cherkoss can work with you to get the help and compensation you need to make a full recovery.
Dog Attacks and Dog Bites
The injuries sustained by a dog bite can be particularly damaging, not to mention expensive. The lacerations often require stitches, and the victim usually receives multiple medications and injections in order to avoid infection and facilitate healing. Moreover, there is a concern about what steps to take to make sure that an animal with vicious tendencies does not have the opportunity to attack again.
Motorcycle Collisions
Motorcycle accidents can be devastating for the biker. Motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable to extreme injury or death when the full force of a vehicle makes contact with the minimally-protected rider. Often, fatality results, and survivors are faced with extensive injuries and a long road to recovery involving surgeries, physical therapy, and medication. Long-term disability is common, and this can result in lost wages and further pain and suffering.
Neck, Back and Brain Injuries
The neck, back, and brain are particularly vulnerable parts of the human body. When injury occurs to these regions, often permanent disability or pain results. Any type of accident can cause injury the the neck, back, or brain, which results in expensive medical interventions such as CT Scans, MRI, surgery, etc. You deserve effective legal representation to help you receive just compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Nursing Home Abuse and Elder Law
Older people whom are care for by others can be susceptible to physical, sexual, and financial abuse. Unable to care for themselves, these individuals are vulnerable to being taken advantage of by those who are supposed to be caring for them. If you have a loved one whom you suspect is suffering at the hands of another, it is imperative that you take swift action to remove him or her from that situation. Furthermore, it is necessary to secure legal representation to recover damages for your loved one’s injuries and pain and suffering.
Semi-Truck Accidents
A collision with a semi-truck is one of the most devastating accidents on the roadway. These large, cumbersome vehicles are difficult to maneuver, have many blind spots, and are often commandeered by exhausted, overworked drivers. Dealing with the trucking company and their insurance career can be difficult. The attorneys at Dwyer Williams Dreke are experienced in persistently handling these types of difficult cases and securing compensation for the injured. .
Slip, Trip and Falls
Whether you slip on a wet floor on the job, trip on an unsecured rug in a store, or fall to the floor when the leg of a chair broke at a restaurant, the body can be significantly injured when its full weight hits the ground. These injuries can cause spinal, back, limb, and other injuries that require medical care and physical therapy. Just because you fall, it does not mean that it was your fault.
Workers’ Compensation
It is all too common that when a person suffers a job related injury, the company tries to avoid responsibility by placing the blame on the injured. Injury sustained on the job can be minor or more serious, and can result in expensive medical bills for which you deserve to be compensated. Our firm has years of experience in dealing with workers’ compensation cases and fighting the corporations for fair settlements for our clients.
Wrongful Death
Wrongful death claims are brought against a defendant who has caused someone’s death either negligently or through intentional harm. Wrongful death claims allow the estate of the deceased person to file a lawsuit against the party who is legally liable for the death. The sudden death of one you love is shattering, and you need to grieve and come to terms with the loss. While no amount of money can bring your loved one back or make your suffering any easier, you need to be able to pay the expenses incurred with this loss while you grieve.
We are committed to helping accident injury victims obtain the financial compensation that can provide relief from the financial pressure that accompanies the pain and emotional stress of suffering serious or even catastrophic injuries. Call us today for a consultation; we will investigate the facts and circumstances of your case diligently, develop a persuasive legal position, and apply aggressive and zealous advocacy to help you obtain the compensation you deserve.
