Wrongful Death
Accidents, acts of medical negligence and child abuse can lead to wrongful death. Located in the Portland - Salem area, our wrongful death lawyers treat each case with compassion and respect. Oregon law allows for wrongful death lawyers to obtain damages for the estate and heirs. In wrongful death cases, the decedent’s estate brings the action on behalf of the decedent and for the benefit of the surviving heirs. Wrongful death cases often include a claim for injuries, pain and suffering that preceded death.
The Savage Law Firm, have represented the estates of many people who were killed by accidental or intentional means throughout Oregon in Portland, Salem and elsewhere. Our wrongful death lawyers have represented the estates of stillborn children, young children, teenagers, adults, mothers and fathers. We understand and appreciate the personal and financial losses that can occur in a wrongful death. While recoverable damages will depend, in part, upon the age and wage-earning capacity of the decedent, our lawyers can help maximize the damages that are recovered to appropriately compensate the estate and to recognize the depth of loss that occurs when a loved one is lost. Contact us today for help.
Product Liability
Our Portland area product liability attorneys uphold the notion that manufacturers of goods and owners of retail or wholesale businesses have a responsibility to each and every customer to provide them with products that meet legal standards of quality. We believe that customers in the Portland area have the right to purchase products whose materials and design are not defective or dangerous. Our product liability attorneys will see to it that you are properly represented. If a defective product injures its user, not only is the manufacturer liable, but so may be the designer, distributor, wholesaler or retailer, providing the product was being used as it was intended. It is extremely important to hold manufacturers and affiliates both legally and morally accountable for the products they produce. We have seen far too many incidents where products such as children’s toys, automobile tires, prescription drugs and home appliances unnecessarily cause severe injury or even death to users. Contact the product liability attorneys of The Savage Law Firm, to learn how we may help your case.
Federal Tort Claims
The Savage Law Firm, possesses particular interest and expertise in federal tort claims in Oregon. The Federal Tort Claims Act protects citizens from wrongdoings of federal employees such as law enforcement officers, military employees, members of the Veterans Administration, or U.S. Postal Workers. Federal tort claims are filed in Oregon against federal employees whose wrongful actions performed while fulfilling employment related duties cause damage or injury to others. Such actions that induce harm include assault, battery, abuse of process, malicious prosecution, false arrest, false imprisonment, libel, slander, misrepresentation, deceit, or interference with contract rights. Federal employees are representatives of the United States and if they do not act in accordance with the laws of its citizens then they must be punished for their malevolence or error in judgment. With the honor of serving in the name of our country comes great responsibility that is not beyond reproach. For federal tort claims help in Oregon, contact The Savage Law Firm.
Sex Abuse Claims
For the last 15 years, The Savage Law Firm has represented children and adults who have been victimized emotionally and physically by acts of sexual abuse. Defendants in these cases have included state governments, private employers, public figures, professional athletes, churches, private parties, and probation and parole officers.
We understand and appreciate the emotional, physical and psychological trauma that is involved in these cases. We work closely with medical and mental health professionals to develop evidence for our clients and to assist in their recovery. Often recovery is difficult, but we have the courage and determination to seek all appropriate legal remedies and give our clients the necessary strength and confidence to obtain the justice they deserve.
We have been successful in using laws such as the Violence Against Women Act to obtain substantial monetary damages in these cases. There are various other state and federal laws that can be used. We have the means to conduct confidential investigations of defendants’ assets and property to determine the ability of defendants to satisfy a substantial judgment.
