Personal Injuries

An unexpected accident can disrupt your daily routine, leaving you with severe physical pain and mounting medical bills. Whether you were hurt in a motor vehicle collision, a sudden slip and fall, or a traumatic dog attack, the path to recovery is often challenging. Navigating the complexities of insurance claims and legal liability requires the skilled guidance of knowledgeable attorneys. If you are facing these difficult circumstances, a Medford personal injury lawyer can make a critical difference in your case.

The lawyers at Parke Gordon Law will investigate your accident to build a compelling strategy for your financial recovery. We understand the stress that unexpected injuries place on your family, and have the resources and determination necessary to manage every aspect of your insurance claim, allowing you to focus on healing. We fight for every penny you deserve from those responsible for your losses.

What Accidents Commonly Lead to Personal Injury Claims?

Accidents can occur in many ways, but some types consistently cause severe harm. Car accidents (including those involving trucks and motorcycles) on busy roadways often result in catastrophic damage and long-term bodily injuries; property owners who fail to maintain safe walkways create hazardous environments where a slip and fall can happen; and irresponsible pet ownership frequently leads to severe dog bites that can cause physical scarring and deep emotional trauma.

When you suffer harm due to another person’s reckless behavior, you should not have to pay for their negligence. We will document your damages thoroughly, including your emergency medical bills, physical therapy sessions, and lost wages. In addition, we meticulously gather traffic camera footage, witness testimonies, and medical records to establish clear fault. Our personal injury attorneys in Medford work diligently to hold negligent individuals accountable for the injuries and other losses they cause.

Understanding Liability Laws and Filing Deadlines

Pursuing financial restitution requires a clear understanding of the specific statutes that govern civil liability in Oregon. The legal system utilizes a modified comparative fault standard to determine the distribution of financial recovery when multiple parties share responsibility. According to Oregon Revised Statutes § 31.600, you can only recover damages if your percentage of fault is less than the combined fault of the defendants. If your share of liability reaches 51 percent or more, the law bars you from receiving compensation. The court will reduce any financial award you receive in direct proportion to your established level of fault.

Timeliness is another critical factor. The state enforces a strict timeline for initiating a civil lawsuit against a negligent party. Under O.R.S. § 12.110, the statute of limitations for a personal injury action is exactly two years from the date the injury occurred. Failing to file your lawsuit within this two-year period will result in the permanent loss of your right to seek damages in court. Early legal support allows our Medford lawyers to act quickly to preserve essential evidence and submit documents relating to your personal injury claim before this critical deadline expires.

Recovering from a severe physical injury demands your full attention and energy. When you attempt to negotiate directly with insurers while managing your medical treatments, it can jeopardize your health and financial future.

We will navigate the legal system on your behalf, answer your questions, and advocate fiercely for your best interests.

Frequently Asked Questions

Very few of our cases go to court now because we have an established reputation with insurance companies, which we have earned through 25 years of representing clients in accident litigation cases. Insurance companies know we are serious about fighting for our clients, so they make good settlement offers to resolve our client’s claims without going to court.

We understand the value of an accident case and will file a lawsuit if the negligent party’s insurance company makes a low-ball settlement offer. If the insurance company refuses to pay what is fair, we will ask the jury to award what is fair.

Both mediation and arbitration are considered alternative dispute resolution methods – alternatives to going to court. Mediation involves a voluntary settlement conference. The parties choose a respected attorney or former judge to help the parties reach a fair settlement. The mediator does not decide the case but simply tries to get the parties to agree to a settlement.

Arbitration is when the parties choose a respected attorney or former judge to decide who is right in a proceeding that is simpler and less costly than a jury trial. Arbitration involves submitting evidence and making arguments to the arbitrator. The arbitrator then issues a binding decision.

Nothing up front. We work on contingency, so you owe a fee only if we recover money for you.

Usually two years from the date of injury (ORS 12.110), but it can vary. Claims against a public body require notice within 180 days, and deadlines differ for minors. Call early so we can confirm yours.

You may still recover. Under Oregon’s modified comparative negligence rule (ORS 31.600), you can be paid as long as you’re not more than 50% at fault, with your award reduced by your share.
