Oregon Catastrophic Injury Attorneys

Let Our Firm Assist You During This Difficult Time

Victims of catastrophic injury can have their lives completely changed. In most cases, they become temporarily or permanently disabled. Not only are these cases emotionally devastating, but they can also be financially burdensome as well.

Examples of catastrophic injuries include:

• Brain
• Neck
• Spinal cord injuries
• Severe burns
• Multiple bone fractures
• Neurological disorders
• Paralysis
• Quadriplegia

If you believe you sustained your catastrophic injury because of the negligent or intentional actions of another person, you may be able to file a personal injury claim.

How to Pursue Compensation for a Catastrophic Injury Case

In general, filing a claim for a catastrophic injury works much the same way as it does for a less severe personal injury. For instance, the same time limits are placed on a catastrophic injury case as a common personal injury case. That means you have two years to file a claim for compensation against the alleged wrongdoer.

It is important to have an attorney as you navigate the process of filing a claim for catastrophic injuries. That is because the laws pertaining to an injury are very unique and complex. For instance, there is a cap on injury damages in Oregon. Our goal is to ensure that you receive the full amount of compensation that you rightly deserve.

If you are filing a claim against the government or an entity other than an individual, certain rules and restrictions apply. You will want an attorney who understands the nuances and specifics of your case.\
