Portland, Oregon Personal Injury Attorney
What Is Personal Injury Law?
Personal injury law covers situations where someone is harmed — physically, emotionally, or financially — because of another person's or entity's negligence, recklessness, or intentional wrongdoing. It gives the injured person a legal path to recover compensation for that harm, whether through a negotiated settlement with an insurance company or, if that fails, a lawsuit. Common examples of the types of personal injury law cases we handle include:
- motor vehicle accidents
- slip-and-falls and other unsafe property conditions
- workplace injuries caused by someone other than you, your co-worker, or your employer
How We Can Help
A personal injury attorney represents people hurt in accidents — car crashes, slip-and-falls, and other incidents caused by someone else's negligence — and helps them deal with the insurance issues that follow. After an injury, it's hard to focus on recovery while also fielding calls from adjusters, giving recorded statements, tracking medical bills, and figuring out what your claim is actually worth.
Aldrich & Brunot handles that process so you can focus on treatment — reviewing your insurance issues, communicating with insurance companies on your behalf, gathering the records your claim needs, and pushing for fair compensation when an insurer resists paying. If a fair resolution can't be reached through negotiation, we can take legal action against the insurance company
Before You Talk to the Insurance Company
Your first priority after an accident is medical care and recovery. What you do next affects how smoothly your claim moves and how well your injuries, losses, and treatment get documented.
- Get medical treatment and follow your provider's recommendations
- Document what happened — keep copies of reports, bills, photos, and other records
- Be careful with recorded statements and other information requests from insurers
- Track repair costs, medical expenses, and claim-related correspondence
- Talk to a personal injury attorney before agreeing to any settlement — a lawyer can help you prepare for communications with insurers, protect evidence, and evaluate whether an offer actually matches the facts of your case
