Wrongful Death

Wrongful Death Lawyers in Eugene

Compassionate Legal Representation for Surviving Family Members

If your loved one died in a fatal accident that could have been prevented, surviving family members may be able to recover compensation. Oregon Revised Statutes section 30.020 defines “wrongful death” as one was “caused by the wrongful act or omission of another.” This means the death could have been prevented by the person who was responsible.

The Gatti Law Firm’s wrongful death attorneys in Eugene have experience providing legal representation to clients who lost a loved one due to a car accident, fatal workplace accident, fall, defective products, assault, and more. When you retain us as your legal representation for a wrongful death claim in Oregon, we can help you seek justice for your loss.

  • Medical care costs related to the final injury or illness suffered by the deceased

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in Oregon?

Per Oregon law, only the next-of-kin of the deceased or a personal representative of the deceased family member’s estate may file a wrongful death claim. Generally, those who file wrongful death claims are immediate family members, such as a spouse, children, parents, and sometimes siblings or step-relatives.
