Wrongful Death

We’ll Fight for You

Wrongful death laws provide justice when a person is killed due to the negligence of a company or another person. We have handled wrongful death cases caused by drunk driving accidents, the manufacture of defective products, the construction of an unsound building and the failure to diagnose a deadly disease.

Among the types of damages that may be recovered under Oregon’s wrongful death law are:

• Future earnings that the deceased would have earned
• Lost pension or retirement benefits
• Medical bills
• Funeral costs
• Loss of inheritance
• Pain and suffering suffered by the survivor
• Loss of companionship
• Punitive damages if the conduct is egregious
