Were you injured by a reckless driver?
Car crashes involving other motorists, bicyclists or pedestrians are far too common in the Pacific Northwest. If you’re injured by a motorist you have the right to recover your losses sustained in the crash. If you have automobile insurance, there are additional benefits you may access to help mitigate your damages. These benefits may pay for your medical bills, a portion of your lost wages, or provide you with compensation if the at-fault party is uninsured, among others.
Your main focus should be recovering from your injuries. KT Law can help you take on the rest.
You have two years from the date of injury to file or settle your claim in Oregon, and three years in Washington. Call our office today to arrange a confidential, no-cost consultation about your specific situation.
Have you had a railroad-related injury?
Railroading is an inherently dangerous industry. In 1908 Congress passed the Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA), giving railroad employees the right to sue their employer for injury, sickness, or death suffered due to the railroad’s neglect. Railroads have a duty to provide a safe workplace, but reporting dangerous conditions within the workplace can lead to retaliation against the employee.
Neglect by the railroad leading to injury, sickness, or death to any passengers of a railroad is actionable under the law. KT Law has the experience to guide you through the challenging fight against powerful railroad companies. Contact us for a free consultation.
Railroad workers have three years under FELA to file a lawsuit or settle their claim(s) against the railroad company. Other people, including passengers and pedestrians injured by a train, may have two to three years, depending on the railroad, location and facts surrounding their claims.
Were you injured by a reckless and negligent healthcare provider?
You shouldn't have to question your doctor’s competency, qualifications or dedication. Yet, in the United States hundreds of thousands of injuries and deaths occur each year as a result of medical neglect.
It's hard to know by yourself whether you’re receiving the care you should be. Making things worse, some doctors make patients believe their poor care is their own fault.
There's no need to wonder. Call KT Law today. We can discuss your situation and review the medical records to see if a mistake was made that hurt you or a loved one.
In Oregon, you have two years from the date you knew (or reasonably should have known) you sustained an injury from a doctor or medical facility to file a lawsuit or come to a settlement. In Washington, you have three years. Any medical care provided by a federal medical provider, like the VA, has three years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit or settle their case.
Have you been in a trucking accident?
The trucking industry is the main form of transportation of goods in the United States, outside of railroads. Thousands of semi-trucks crisscross the Pacific Northwest everyday. While the industry boasts enormous profitability, success too often occurs at the expense of truck drivers and consumers. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and related statutes were created to ensure that safety is the cornerstone of all trucking endeavors.
However, with things like lousy pay, and failures to abide by regulations for drivers’ hours of service, companies find ways to cut corners to maximize their bottom line. These failures erode safety standards and expectations, leading to catastrophic crashes and death. At KT Law, we have experience taking trucking companies to task and are ready to advocate aggressively on your behalf.
You have two to three years depending on where the crash takes place (Oregon or Washington, respectively) to file a lawsuit against those who are at-fault.
