Areas of practice

If you have been injured in a car crash, you are not alone. In 2005, over 29,000 people were injured in car accidents in Oregon, and 488 died as a result. Those who have been injured in a motor vehicle accident have rights that need to be protected. If you have been injured you may wonder what damages you are entitled to? You may ask if you should sign any papers sent to you by an insurance company? You may wonder if you can obtain treatment from doctors of your own choice and how your bills will be paid?

It is critical to learn the answer to these questions and others as soon as possible. Our goal is protect your rights and recover for your losses in the shortest amount of time. You may recover compensation for:

Injuries caused by car accidents, motorcycle wrecks, and airplane crashes are serious, if not fatal. These cases often require an experienced trial attorney who is willing to try the case before a jury, relying on their skill and experience, as well as investigators, accident reconstructionists, vocational rehabilitationists, and testimony from doctors and witnesses. Evidence such as medical reports, statements of wage loss, and physical pieces from the scene of the crash require use by a competent attorney who is experienced in trying personal injury cases. Gatti, Gatti, Maier, Sayer, Thayer & Associates have that experience, and it is recognized in our trial verdicts and settlements.
