Our Personal Injury Representation for Accident Victims
If you or a loved one has been injured in a pedestrian accident, having experienced legal representation is crucial.
At our firm, we offer:
- Free case evaluation. We provide complimentary consultations to assess your case and discuss your legal options.
- Contingency-based representation. You pay no upfront legal fees; we only get paid if we win your case.
- Personalized attention. From day one, you work directly with an attorney who is committed to your case and well-being.
- Aggressive advocacy. We negotiate with insurance companies and, if necessary, take your case to court to pursue fair compensation.
Because our practice is dedicated solely to personal injury law, we possess in-depth knowledge of the Oregon legal system, traffic laws, and local courts. Our track record demonstrates our commitment to securing favorable outcomes for our clients.
We begin by conducting a thorough investigation into your accident, gathering police reports, camera footage, witness testimony, medical records, and any other relevant evidence necessary to build your claim.
This allows us to present the facts to the at-fault party and their insurer, seeking a settlement that reflects the full value of your damages and losses. Insurers are more likely to be amenable to fair settlements when faced with an experienced law firm, such as ours.
