Oregon residents suffer personal injuries every day in accidents that are caused by reckless and careless behavior. Across the country, thousands of people are injured in a wide spectrum of accidents where negligence is a contributing factor. Fortunately, when a person is injured and it’s someone else’s fault, an experienced personal injury lawyer can help an injured person get financial compensation from negligent individuals.

Personal injuries can take place anywhere and in any number of ways. In Oregon, common causes of personal injury include:

Car accidents and truck crashes; particularly those involving drunk drivers and hit-and-run accidents
Pedestrian accidents
Poorly designed or defective products, including those intended for children
Animal attacks, including dog bites
Intentional assaults, including sexual assault

If a person is injured because someone else was careless, the injured person has rights and may be able to obtain compensation from the careless individual. For example, if a manufacturing company sells an unreasonably dangerous product or fails to properly warn the public of a product hazard and injury results; if a motorist drives recklessly and causes an accident; or if someone intentionally harms someone else. A personal injury victim is entitled to hold a person or company who caused them harm responsible for their negligent actions.

Personal injury cases are complex. Personal injury victims not only face physical challenges, but emotional and financial hurdles as well. In some situations, an individual may need long-term medical care and treatment for their injury that resulted from an accident. This is where a Portland personal injury attorney with years of experience handling such cases can help.

There are strict laws in Oregon. If your injury was someone else’s fault, they should pay all the costs associated with your injuries, including medical bills. At Shulman DuBois LLC, our experienced Portland personal injury attorneys represent personal injury victims injured from another person’s negligent behavior. If a court of law finds the other person to be at fault, you will recover costs such as medical bills, wages lost as a result of injury, physical therapy fees, and more.

As personal injury lawyers in Oregon, we understand how overwhelming being injured in an accident caused by another person’s carelessness can be. We are dedicated to making this challenging process as simple as possible for you and your family.
