What we recover
We open every car accident case the same way: we listen, we preserve evidence, and we deal directly with the insurer so the pressure shifts off you.
Investigation. Scene data, vehicle records, and medical documentation assembled into a case the insurer can't dismiss.
Negotiation. We pursue full value for medical bills, rehabilitation, lost income, and the disruption to your life.
Trial readiness. If the offer isn't fair, we are ready to present your case to a Yamhill County jury, at your request.
Automobile Accidents questions
The insurer offered a settlement already, should I take it?
Early offers are often far below true value. Let us review it before you sign; the review is free.
What if I was partly at fault?
Oregon's modified comparative negligence rule, ORS 31.600, allows you to recover as long as you are not more than 50% at fault. Your damages are reduced by your share of fault. We'll explain how it applies to your specific facts.
How long do I have to file a car-accident lawsuit in Oregon?
Oregon's statute of limitations for personal-injury claims, ORS 12.110, is generally two years from the date of the crash. Property-damage claims have a six-year window, and claims against a public body (like a city or county) require a 180-day notice under ORS 30.275.
Do I have to talk to the other driver's insurance company?
No. You are not required to give a recorded statement to the at-fault driver's insurer. Doing so usually helps them lock you into an early version of events. Call us before any recorded statement.
What can I recover after a car accident in Oregon?
Recoverable damages typically include medical bills (past and future), lost wages, lost earning capacity, vehicle repair or replacement, and non-economic damages for pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life. The mix depends on the facts of your case.
What if the other driver was uninsured?
Oregon requires every auto policy to include uninsured-motorist coverage. If the at-fault driver had no insurance or not enough insurance, we pursue UM or UIM benefits on your own policy. Those claims have their own deadlines and proof requirements.
