Wrongful Death

Oregon Wrongful Death Lawyer

Any death in the family brings profound grief and sorrow for all of that individual’s loved ones. When the death is the unexpected result of another party’s negligence, the family can be entitled to compensation for the harm caused.

A wrongful death lawsuit allows certain family members to pursue damages from the party whose negligence or intentional actions caused the death of a loved one. Need an Injury Lawyer Oregon assists families all over Oregon with wrongful death claims, including clients in Tigard, Eugene, Bend, Lake Oswego, Keizer, Grants Pass, Oregon City, McMinnville, Salem, Beaverton, Springfield, Portland, Hillsboro, Medford, Gresham, Corvallis, Albany, and many other nearby areas.

Wrongful Death Laws in Oregon

Under Oregon Revised Statute § 30.020, the personal representative of a descendant can bring a legal action against any person whose wrongful act, neglect, or default of another party caused the victim’s death. State law in Oregon establishes specific time periods for which certain relatives may file these claims.

A wrongful death claim is for the benefit of the deceased’s spouse, children, parents and any other individuals entitled to property under intestate succession. People have three years to file a wrongful death claim.

Family members may be entitled to various compensatory damages in these cases. Economic damages relate to calculable losses such as medical expenses and lost wages. Noneconomic damages are for subjective harm such as pain and suffering or disfigurement.

In certain cases involving particularly egregious or deliberate negligence, courts may award punitive damages.

Causes of Wrongful Death in Oregon

People can be killed in any one of a number of unfortunate incidents in Oregon. Some of the most common reasons wrongful death lawsuits are filed stem from cases involving:

  • Car Accidents
  • Driving Under the Influence (DUI) Accidents
  • Truck Accidents
  • Pedestrian Accidents
  • Commercial Vehicles
  • Motorcycle Accidents
  • Bicycle Accidents
  • Bus Accidents
  • Ridesharing (Uber or Lyft) Accidents
  • Medical Malpractice
  • Workplace Accidents

It is important to remember that some of these kinds of accidents can require very lengthy investigations in order to determine and prove a defendant’s negligence. For this reason, you must seek legal representation as soon as possible when your loved one is killed in any kind of accident.

    About Us

    Need an Injury Lawyer Oregon can work to get you every last dollar of compensation you are entitled to. You should avoid speaking to any insurance representative until you have legal representation, as phone conversations are frequently recorded and agents will usually ask victims seemingly innocent questions that are actually intended to get victims to make statements that can be used against them later on to reduce the value of their personal injury claims.
