A wrongful death occurs when a person dies due to the negligent, reckless, or intentional actions of another party. Common causes include:
Fatalities resulting from car, motorcycle, or truck accidents caused by negligent drivers.
Deaths due to misdiagnosis, surgical errors, or other medical negligence.
Fatal incidents on construction sites or other hazardous workplaces.
Deaths caused by unsafe products or equipment.
Fatalities resulting from neglect or abuse in elder care facilities.
In Oregon, eligible parties include spouses, children, parents, and sometimes other family members. Claims must be filed by a personal representative.
Recoverable damages include medical bills, funeral costs, lost income, and pain and suffering. Oregon caps some non-economic damages.
You have three years from the date of the injury that caused the death to file a claim in Oregon. Missing this deadline can bar your case.
Our firm is committed to guiding you through every step of the legal process with care and professionalism:
We work diligently to gather all necessary evidence, including accident reports, medical records, and witness statements.
We partner with medical professionals, accident reconstructionists, and economic experts to build a strong case.
Whether through settlement negotiations or taking your case to court, we fight aggressively for the compensation you deserve.
We keep you informed and involved, answering all your questions and addressing your concerns promptly.
While no amount of money can replace your loved one, a wrongful death claim can provide financial relief and hold the responsible parties accountable. Compensation may include:
• Medical expenses incurred before death.
• Funeral and burial costs.
• Loss of the deceased’s expected earnings.
• Loss of benefits such as pension plans or medical coverage.
• Pain and suffering endured by the deceased before death.
• Loss of companionship, care, and guidance.
• Emotional distress experienced by surviving family members.
In cases of egregious negligence or intentional harm, additional damages may be awarded to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar conduct.
During this difficult time, let Huegli Law provide the legal support and guidance you need. We are committed to helping you find justice and secure the resources necessary to move forward.
We are here to help you navigate this challenging journey with compassion and dedication.
