Helping injured people recover after a crash
PDX Law Group helps injured people pursue full, fair compensation after serious car accidents across Oregon.
Insurance companies are focused on limiting what they pay, often minimizing what your injury has actually cost you.
Our job is to make it right.
That means building the claim, valuing it correctly, and pushing for a settlement that reflects the facts—so you can cover your losses and move forward.
David is hands-on, communicates clearly, and works for an outcome based on the real impact of the crash, not a number that’s convenient for the insurance company.
What that means for you is simple: you won’t be passed around, and you won’t be left in the dark. If you’re looking for a Portland car accident lawyer who takes ownership of your case, you’ll work directly with David from day one through resolution.
Most cases resolve through negotiation. When the insurance company won’t be reasonable, David will fight for you to get the result you deserve—whether that means negotiating a favorable settlement or taking the case to court.

Do you need a car accident lawyer?
If you’ve been hurt in a car accident in Oregon, you have the right to pursue damages from the person or company that caused the crash.
Some people consider handling the claim on their own—negotiating with the insurance company and dealing with the legal issues without support. You can do that, but an experienced, trial-ready attorney can protect the claim and take the pressure off.
You’re not expected to know this process. Most people only deal with a serious crash once. Adjusters and defense lawyers do it every day. David knows the process, the pressure points, and what tends to matter when a claim needs to be proven rather than simply argued.
You need a clear valuation, not a quick offer. Lowball offers are common early on—especially when treatment is ongoing and the long-term impact isn’t fully documented yet. David looks at the full picture, including medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other damages supported by the facts, so you can make decisions with clear information.
You need someone who will push back and keep the case moving. When the other side tries to rush deadlines, narrow the story, or discount the injury, David pushes back and keeps the claim moving toward a fair outcome.
You should be able to focus on recovery. A serious injury claim can become its own job. Having a lawyer handle communications, documentation, and negotiations can take a weight off while your recovery and day-to-day responsibilities stay front and center.
Before you give a recorded statement or accept a settlement
If an adjuster is pressing for a recorded statement, a broad medical authorization, or a quick settlement, schedule a free consult first.
A short call can help you understand what matters, what to avoid, and what a realistic path looks like.
Car accident cases handled
Every crash is different. But certain issues come up over and over—how fault is being argued, whether injuries are being minimized, and whether the insurance company is trying to rush a cheap settlement.
PDX Law Group represents injured people in a wide range of Oregon car accident claims, including:
- Rear-end, side-impact, and head-on collisions
- Hit-and-run crashes
- Uninsured / underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) claims
- Disputed-fault collisions
- Serious injuries where treatment is ongoing and the long-term impact is still coming into focus
If you’re not sure whether your situation “counts,” schedule a free consult. A short call can usually clarify what matters, what to avoid, and what a realistic path looks like.
Oregon injury claim basics
You don’t need to become an expert on Oregon injury law to protect yourself. But there are a few basics that can affect your options quickly.
Time limits matter. In many situations, Oregon has a two-year statute of limitations for injury claims. There are exceptions and special rules, so it’s worth confirming early—especially if a government entity is involved.
Fault can be argued. Oregon uses a modified comparative negligence rule. That means the other side may try to shift part of the blame onto you. Even when you can still recover, fault allocation can reduce the amount.
Damages are more than bills. Depending on the facts, damages may include medical expenses, lost income, future care needs, pain and suffering, and other losses supported by the evidence.
If you want a clear read on how these rules apply to your situation, schedule a free consult.
