Handling Complex Legal Issues For You

When you are injured, you have the right to seek compensation from the party who was at fault in causing your injury. The first step in doing so is generally to make a claim with the liable party’s insurance company. Having the assistance of a skilled insurance lawyer can greatly increase your chances of receiving a favorable settlement offer from an insurer.

If an insurance company will not offer enough to cover all of your injury-related losses, you have the legal right to file a claim against the negligent party in civil court. Legal rules require you to file a claim in a specific court, depending on different factors including where the injury occurred. Though most of Lake Oswego is located in Clackamas County, there are also parts of the municipality in Multnomah County and Washington County. Therefore you must ensure that you are filing your claim in the correct county court to preserve your right to recovery. A car accident lawyer familiar with the area will be able to identify where to file your case and which injury claims are necessary for your to receive proper compensation for your losses.
