Oregon Auto Accident Attorney

If you have been seriously injured in an Oregon auto accident, it is important you contact a personal injury lawyer who is an experienced Oregon auto accident attorney as soon as possible. You may have questions about your auto insurance policy and the coverages that you have: personal injury protection (pip), wage loss, missed time from work, uninsured driver questions, or even problems with medical bills that you are receiving due to your accident. Perhaps you are wondering what your auto accident injury claim is worth. Maybe the auto insurance company has offered you a settlement and you are wondering whether to accept it as fair compensation for your losses.
Hire an Oregon auto accident attorney who is an experienced trial attorney with proven results.
Don't accept any offer from the insurance company without talking to an experienced Oregon auto accident attorney. Insurance companies rarely offer you a fair amount for your injuries without a lawyer. I offer no obligation free initial legal consultations as well as contingency fee agreements. Talk to an experienced Oregon auto accident attorney who is also a proven and experienced trial attorney before deciding what is best for you. One case my client was offered $4,000 before he hired me. At trial a jury awarded us $550,000. In another case my client was offered $1,500 and a jury awarded us $138,000.
Looking at four recent separate cases I tried, initial offers totaled approximately $51,500 all four combined. But in these four combined trial awards, juries awarded a total of over $1,100,000. If my clients had hired a lawyer who does not try cases, or if my clients accepted the initial offer from their insurance companies, they would have lost a combined total of around $1,048,500.
Auto insurance companies do not get to determine the value of your Oregon auto accident injury case. It is up to you or a jury to determine the value of your Oregon auto accident case.
I forward litigation costs up front in every case I take. Before you hire a lawyer, make sure that they are willing to forward the money to adequately pursue your auto accident injury case.
