Fighting and Winning for Injured Clients in Oregon and Washington

Truck accidents often involve devastating collisions with semi-trucks, tractor-trailers, delivery trucks, dump trucks, and other commercial vehicles. These cases are complex because liability may extend beyond the driver to trucking companies, maintenance providers, and other third parties. We move quickly to secure driver logs, black box data, maintenance records, and other critical evidence used to build a strong claim.

Motorcycle crashes are commonly caused by drivers failing to see riders, misjudging distance, or making unsafe turns and lane changes. These cases often involve serious injuries, disputed fault, and unfair bias against motorcyclists. Our personal injury lawyers know how to build evidence-driven claims to prove liability and challenge attempts to shift blame onto the rider.

In many cases we handle at Philbrook Law, bicycle crashes involve drivers failing to yield, unsafe passing, dooring incidents, or turning into a cyclist’s path at intersections. These cases turn on roadway rules, visibility, and available evidence such as witness accounts or video footage.

Without an identified defendant, hit-and-run cases shift into uninsured motorist claims where policy language, timely notice, and medical proof become central issues.

We act quickly to preserve available footage, secure witness information, and trigger the applicable insurance coverage before critical deadlines are missed.

Liability in pedestrian accident cases typically depends on visibility, driver attention, and what could reasonably have been avoided in the seconds before impact. Establishing fault requires careful analysis of traffic conditions, roadway design, and all available evidence from the scene and surrounding area. Our attorneys move quickly to preserve evidence and build the case from the ground up.

We regularly handle cases where property owners dispute whether a dangerous condition existed long enough to be discovered and corrected, or argue they had no prior notice of the hazard. These claims often arise from slip and falls, unsafe stairways, broken handrails, inadequate lighting, and other preventable property conditions. Our attorneys develop the evidence needed to establish what the property owner knew, or should have known, before your injury occurred.

Approximately 4.5 million dog bites occur nationwide annually, underscoring how frequently these incidents happen. In the cases we handle, attacks often involve bites in neighborhoods, apartment complexes, parks, sidewalks, and private homes, with disputes over leash control, containment, and prior warning signs. We examine the dog’s history and owner conduct to establish liability under Oregon and Washington law.
