Benefits of Oregon Personal Injury Lawyers

Personal injury is an area of law that focuses on protecting the rights of victims of negligence. When a person, business, or other responsible entity acts wrongfully and causes you harm, you deserve reimbursement. However, in order to obtain compensation, you commonly (or most often) must prove the existence of negligence. Proof of negligence is not a requisite to recovery in strict liability cases.. Knowledgeable personal injury lawyers like the ones at Harris, Wyatt & Amala, LLC, can review your case and determine if the basic elements of negligence are present.

Additionally, your attorney can recommend a sound course of action, and advise you on whether accepting a settlement is in your best interests. He or she can also review settlement offers and determine if they are appropriate given the extent of your injuries.

A Personal Injury Lawyer can Help You File an Oregon Lawsuit

The process of filing a lawsuit can be complicated, especially if you recently suffered an injury. Fortunately, our lawyers can walk you through the steps involved in pursuing a lawsuit, which include the following:

• Filing: With the assistance of your lawyer, you file the lawsuit
• Serving: Next, the defendant is served with legal notification of your lawsuit
• Taking depositions: Both sides have the opportunity to depose, or ask questions of each other
• Undergoing medical examination: The defendant may require that you undergo an additional medical examination to prove the extent of your injuries
• Discovery: Both sides may use expert witnesses during this phase to support their case
• Settling: At any time, your case may be settled, meaning you reach an agreement with the defense to accept a certain amount of compensation without going to court
• Trying the case: If you and the defendant cannot reach a settlement, the outcome of your personal injury case must be decided by a trial
