Wrongful Death Attorney in Portland

Portland Personal Injury Lawyer Representing Wrongful Death Plaintiffs

While the loss of a loved one is always so very difficult to experience, it is especially hard to bear when that loss was due to the avoidable negligence or recklessness of another person. Wrongful death cases can tragically occur in any number of situations from car accidents and trucking accidents to accidents at the workplace, construction site accidents and medical mistakes. A Portland wrongful death attorney at Angel Law, P.C. can help clients get justice when a loved one is killed or fatally injured in a tragic event that was caused by the negligent actions or inaction of another individual, a group, or a company. A personal injury attorney at Angel Law PC handles every aspect of each case personally to make sure the client's needs and concerns are met. Those liable for damages, injuries or death should be held accountable not only for the client's sake, but in the hopes that such a tragedy can be avoided in the future.

According to results obtained from the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, the three most common causes of deaths in the United States are traffic-related vehicle accidents followed by fatal burns from building fires, and lastly, falls. But, unfortunately, victims of negligence are also killed in construction accidents, from defective products, from deadly prescription drugs, from a negligent physician and from hazardous exposures like deadly chemicals and asbestos. A Portland wrongful death lawyer at Angel Law PC can go over your case and determine if negligence was involved and whether pursuing a wrongful death claim is justified.

Oregon law also provides that a decedent's spouse, children (including current step children), parents and certain other individuals can bring a suit for wrongful death caused by the negligence of another. However a wrongful death lawsuit, just like any other civil lawsuit, must be commenced prior to strict Oregon deadlines enacted for filing wrongful death claims. It's very important to contact Angel Law PC or even another law firm as soon as you are able to make sure your right to file a wrongful death lawsuit is protected and not barred by a filing deadline. Once the deadline has passed, the right to file the claim is lost. Very often family members wait too long to contact a wrongful death attorney and later explain that the emotional challenge of pursuing a legal remedy was too difficult during a long greiving process to think about contacting a law firm.
