Need a lawyer who specializes in Wrongful Death?

When a loved one dies from someone else's negligence, we help recover compensation for lost companionship and economic losses.

Oregon's Experts in Wrongful Death

When a loved one dies as a result of a tragic motor vehicle accident, bicycle accident, medical procedure, construction site or other incident where someone else is responsible, a tremendous void is left in the family. These losses include not only the loss of the decedent's companionship, but also the economic losses in the form of lost earnings from the decedent and the costs to replace the decedent's services around the household. We can help you pursue a claim on behalf of the decedent's estate that will help cover these losses, as well as any pain and suffering that the decedent may have experienced prior to their untimely passing.

Wrongful Death FAQs

Common questions about wrongful death cases in Oregon

Typically, immediate family members like spouses, children, and parents can file wrongful death claims. Some states allow more distant relatives or financial dependents to file if immediate family doesn't exist.
Compensation may include medical expenses before death, funeral and burial costs, loss of the deceased's future income, loss of inheritance, loss of services and support, loss of companionship and guidance, and in some cases, punitive damages.
Statutes of limitations for wrongful death claims typically range from 1-3 years, depending on your state. The clock usually starts running from the date of death, though exceptions may apply in cases where negligence wasn't immediately discovered.
