Practice Areas Description

The NW Injury Law Center was created by trial attorney Don Jacobs so injured consumers could choose a law firm that devotes all of its resources to helping injury victims. The firm's only focus is the representation of injured consumers. NW Injury Law Center Legal Services include representing victims of:

- Car Accidents

With over 30 years of experience helping automobile accident victims the attorneys at NW Injury law Center understand that a car accident can have a significant effect on your life. The auto accident attorneys at NW Injury law Center will use all resources necessary to thoroughly investigate your claim to determine necessary future medical treatment, determine lost wages and future earning potential as well as pain and suffering.

- Trucking Accidents

Semi truck accidents involve a whole different set of legal rules than everyday auto accidents. Trucking accidents can involve sleepy drivers or semi trucks that have defective or worn equipment. Some companies hire truck drivers with little or no training or investigation into their background. When incompetent drivers operate large vehicles on the highways accidents are bound to happen. It is essential to quickly gather documents after a semi truck accident. Documents like company incident reports, driver logbooks and operator credentials must be obtained quickly. These documents can make or break a claim. Our office has been litigating trucking accidents successfully for over thirty years. Put our experience to work for you. Don’t try to handle a semi truck accident on your own. These cases require specialized legal care and experienced attorneys.

- Motorcycle Accidents

Victims injured in motorcycle accidents face a different burden than people injured in typical auto accidents. That’s because a certain percentage of the public feels motorcycles are dangerous and the drivers hard to see. They think people injured on motorcycles should accept the fact they are engaging in a risky activity. At times they seem to have more sympathy for the driver of the car who didn’t see the motorcycle than they do for the injured motorcyclist. The law does not give motorcycle riders any less right than those operating a car. They have exactly the same right to compensation and the same privileges of people who choose to transport themselves in sedans. An attorney handling a motorcycle injury has to understand this prejudice and confront it head on. Our office has handled scores of cases for motorcycle riders over the last thirty years. Put our experience to work for you. Let us make sure you get all the compensation you deserve if injured on your bike.

- Boating Accidents

For some reason, a lot of people think alcohol and boating go together. The driver of a speed boat or other motorized water craft can do just as much damage or injury to another if they don’t follow the rules of the road for watercraft. These rules require all operators of watercraft to educate themselves on the rules of boating and require operators under a certain age to obtain a boating certificate. The certificate is proof they’ve read the rules and passed a minimum competency exam before getting on the water. Unfortunately, boater certificate or not, some people do stupid things on the water. Consuming alcohol in excess is an example. When this happens and someone is injured, an experienced attorney should be consulted. Our office has handled many boating claims over the years and we are very familiar with the rights and responsibilities of watercraft operators. If injured as a result of a boater’s carelessness, put our experience to work for you.

- Construction Accident

Construction sites can be a dangerous work environment. Construction site accidents injure or kill thousands every year. Most workers know they are entitled to workers compensation if injured on the job. However, many construction site accidents occur due to the fault of a third party or because the general contractor neglected to follow safety rules. If you or a family member has been seriously injured as a result of a construction site accident, consult our office for help. You may be entitled to additional compensation. Our firm has been helping injured workers recover compensation for construction site injuries for over thirty years. We can guide you through the process and let you know if you qualify for compensation over and above your workers compensation benefits.

- Injuries on Property

Our firm has handled claims for consumers injured on property for over thirty years. We can help you recover compensation Man slipping and falling if your fall was the result of negligence or was due to a hazard on property. Department stores, food markets, box stores and any business that wants customers to come in and spend their dollars must provide a safe environment for shoppers. If a hazard exists the store has an obligation to remove it or warn customers of the danger. If they fail to do so, they can become responsible if someone is injured.

- Animal Attacks

Every year thousands of people are attacked or bitten by dogs. The law of both Oregon and Washington makes animal owners responsible if someone is attacked by a pet. Dogs barking although the laws of Oregon are not as victim friendly as Washington, each state have enacted laws that protect people from animal attacks and require compensation if someone is injured. Our office has handled many animal attack cases over the last thirty years. If you have been the victim of a dog bite or other animal attack we can make sure you get the compensation you deserve. Put our experience to work for you.
