Personal Injuries

A sudden accident can disrupt your life entirely, leaving you to manage severe physical pain, emotional stress, and unexpected medical bills. Whether you are recovering from a motor vehicle collision, a slip and fall incident, or a serious animal attack, managing the aftermath is incredibly difficult. Corporate insurance companies frequently attempt to take advantage of vulnerable victims by offering low settlements that do not cover the true cost of recovery. A knowledgeable Portland personal injury lawyer will ensure that your interests remain protected throughout the entire insurance claim process. 

Our experienced attorneys can assist you in navigating the complex civil legal system and holding the negligent parties accountable. The legal team at Parke Gordon Law understands how a catastrophic injury impacts your household finances and overall well-being. We maintain the capability and resolve necessary to confront corporate insurance representatives on your behalf, fighting for every penny you deserve.

Common Sources of Personal Injury Claims

Civil claims arise when an accident leads to injury, and some incidents consistently result in significant harm. Severe car accidents and truck collisions on congested freeways like Interstate 84 often lead to extensive property damage and long-term bodily injuries. Even on smaller roads, bicycle or pedestrian incidents are common. Property owners who fail to maintain safe walkways create conditions that can cause a serious slip and fall accident or dog bite.

If you suffer an injury because of someone else’s reckless behavior, you should not pay for the financial consequences of their wrongdoing. Retain our Portland personal injury lawyers to document your total losses meticulously, including emergency room bills, ongoing physical rehabilitation costs, and lost wages from missed work. Our legal team carefully reviews traffic camera footage, analyzes medical reports, and interviews witnesses to establish clear fault.

Negligence Standards and Filing Timelines

Pursuing financial compensation requires a clear understanding of the statutes governing civil liability in Oregon. When multiple parties share responsibility for an accident, the civil court determines the distribution of financial damages utilizing a modified comparative fault system. Under Oregon Revised Statutes § 31.600, if your established share of liability reaches 51 percent or more, the law bars you from receiving any compensation. The courts will reduce any financial recovery in direct proportion to your percentage of fault.

For Portland residents pursuing a personal injury claim with the assistance of attorneys, the state enforces a strict deadline for initiating a civil lawsuit against a negligent party. Under O.R.S. § 12.110, the standard statute of limitations for a personal injury action is exactly two years from the date of the injury. If you do not file your lawsuit within this timeframe, you will permanently lose your legal right to pursue damages in court. Call for legal representation early to preserve essential evidence and file all necessary documents before this critical deadline expires.

Recovering from a severe physical injury demands your full attention and energy. If you attempt to negotiate directly with corporate insurers while managing your medical treatments, it can jeopardize your financial future. Insurance representatives frequently pressure injured parties to sign hasty settlement agreements that fail to account for the actual costs of future medical care or a permanent loss of earning capacity. When you partner with a dedicated legal advocate, it protects you from these predatory corporate tactics.

Parke Gordon Law provides the robust representation you require during this challenging period. We will manage the complex legal system on your behalf, provide straightforward answers to your inquiries, and vigorously champion your best interests. Do not leave your financial stability to chance after a catastrophic accident. Contact a Portland personal injury lawyer at our office today to schedule your comprehensive case consultation.

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.
