Catastrophic Accident Lawyer in Oregon and Washington

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Lawyer

The brain controls everything: how you think, how you speak, how you move, how you feel. When it's injured, the ripple effects touch every corner of your life. Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can result from car accidents, truck collisions, pedestrian knockdowns, bicycle crashes, construction site falls, and countless other events caused by someone else's carelessness.

TBIs range from concussions that linger for months to severe injuries that cause permanent cognitive, emotional, and physical disability. What makes these cases especially complex is that the damage isn't always visible. Imaging scans can appear normal while a person struggles to hold a conversation, return to work, or maintain relationships. Insurance companies exploit this by minimizing the injury, questioning its cause, and pushing for fast, unfair settlements.

Eder Sturm Eder works with neurologists, neuropsychologists, and life-care planners to document the full scope of your injury. We look beyond today's medical bills to the long-term costs of ongoing treatment, lost earning capacity, and the impact on your quality of life. Whether your injury resulted from a motor vehicle accident, a construction site accident, or another traumatic event, we will tell your story in a way that makes its full weight undeniable.

Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer

A spinal cord injury is among the most debilitating permanent injuries a person can suffer. Depending on the level and severity of the injury, clients may face partial or complete paralysis, loss of sensation, chronic pain, and a lifetime of adaptive equipment, attendant care, and medical management. The financial toll is staggering. The emotional toll is even harder to put into words.

Spinal cord injuries are among the most expensive catastrophic injuries to live with. Studies consistently show that lifetime care costs for a person with complete paralysis can exceed several million dollars, and that figure doesn't begin to account for lost income, lost independence, and the grief that comes with a drastically altered life. These are the cases where a fast insurance settlement can leave you millions short of what you actually need.

At Eder Sturm Eder, we don't accept lowball offers, and we don't rush you toward a resolution before we truly understand what your future requires. Our attorneys have decades of experience taking on large insurance carriers, and our reputation as trial-ready litigators gives us leverage at the negotiating table that other firms simply don't have.

If a loved one's spinal cord injury has resulted in death, our wrongful death attorneys can help your family pursue the full justice you deserve.

Amputation and Limb Loss Attorney

Losing a limb is a permanent, irreversible injury. Whether through a traumatic on-scene amputation or a surgical procedure following a severe crush or vascular injury, limb loss redefines daily life in ways that are immediate and lasting. Survivors must adapt to prosthetics, pursue extensive physical and occupational therapy, and adjust to the emotional weight of a body that functions much differently than it once did.

The costs associated with amputation are substantial. A single prosthetic limb can cost tens of thousands of dollars, and most require replacement every few years. Adaptive vehicles, home modifications, ongoing rehabilitation, and mental health support all add to the financial picture. For working Oregonians and Washingtonians, the loss of earning capacity, especially in physical or skilled labor roles, can represent an enormous financial loss.

At Eder Sturm Eder, we approach these cases with depth and care. We connect your specific story to the full scope of Oregon and Washington law, engage expert witnesses to project your lifetime needs, and build a case designed to pursue every dollar you're owed. Our attorneys have the trial experience to go the distance if an insurer refuses to be reasonable.

Amputations and severe limb injuries frequently arise from motor vehicle accidents, construction site accidents, bicycle accidents, defective products, and industrial machinery failures. When a defective product or piece of equipment is involved, products liability law may allow us to pursue additional parties beyond the at-fault driver or property owner. We leave no stone unturned.
