Our investigation often includes police reports, insurance coverage analysis, medical records, and accident reconstruction when needed.

Semi-Truck Accidents

Truck accidents often result in severe or catastrophic injuries. These cases may involve trucking companies, commercial insurers, and multiple liable parties. Our attorneys understand how to navigate these complex claims.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists face a higher risk of serious injury when drivers fail to yield or follow traffic laws. We represent injured riders throughout Beaverton and Washington County.

DUI Injury Accidents

When a driver chooses to operate a vehicle while impaired and causes harm, injured victims may pursue civil compensation in addition to any criminal case.

Traumatic Brain Injuries

Brain injuries can occur even in low-speed collisions or slip and fall accidents. These injuries often require long-term medical care and can affect every aspect of daily life.

Slip and Fall and Premises Liability

Property owners have a responsibility to maintain reasonably safe conditions. We handle injury cases involving unsafe walkways, wet floors, poor lighting, and other hazards.

Bicycle and Pedestrian Accidents

As Beaverton continues to grow, more people are walking and biking near busy roads and transit corridors. When drivers fail to use reasonable care, serious injuries can result.

Dog Bite Injuries

Oregon law allows dog bite victims to pursue compensation for medical treatment, scarring, emotional trauma, and other damages.

Some workplace injuries involve third-party negligence or fall outside the workers’ compensation system. We evaluate all possible paths to recovery.

Sexual Abuse and Assault

We represent survivors seeking accountability through civil claims, handling these cases with discretion, care, and respect.

Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

When nursing homes fail to protect residents from harm, families may need legal help to hold facilities accountable and prevent future abuse.

How Oregon Personal Injury Claims Work

Oregon personal injury claims are based on fault. If another party’s negligence caused your injury, you may be entitled to compensation for:

• Medical expenses and future treatment

• Lost wages and reduced earning capacity

• Pain and suffering

• Emotional distress

• Permanent disability or disfigurement

Oregon law allows recovery even when an injured person is partially at fault, depending on the circumstances. Many cases resolve through negotiation, but some require litigation in Washington County courts.
