Serious Injury Accidents

Serious injury lawsuits and claims arise when people are injured by the carelessness, negligence, or intentional acts of others, or injured by products that are in some way defective. When a person or corporation is found to be legally responsible for injuring someone, they are liable for the injury, and may be compelled to compensate the injured person.

Gilroy Napoli Short Law Group is a local law firm recognized for its success in representing clients in all in all types of serious injury, medical malpractice, nursing home, and wrongful death claims. Our Portland serious injury lawyers are committed to protecting the rights of people who are seriously injured by the negligence or carelessness of others.

If you would like to talk to one of our lawyers about a potential case, call us at 503-747-7198.

When our lawyers take on your serious injury case, they have one goal in mind: to achieve the best possible results. Our injury attorneys handle all types of injury claims in Portland and throughout the state of Oregon. Examples of the types of cases we handle include:

Car, Motorcycle and Truck Accidents

When you’ve been involved in car, motorcycle, or truck accident that results in serious injuries, it is often necessary to retain the services of a serious accident lawyer. Often times, insurance companies are principally concerned with protecting their bottom line, while negligent drivers may deny any fault at all. An experienced serious accident attorney can help you understand your case, act as your advocate with insurance companies, and protect your rights to be fairly compensated for your injuries.

Product Liability

Products liability lawsuits and claims arise out of the manufacture of dangerous or defective products. In such lawsuits, our products liability attorneys represent clients against corporations or manufacturers who have sold or manufactured unsafe products to consumers.

Wrongful Death

Wrongful deaths are caused by the negligence, recklessness, or carelessness of another person or a corporate entity. For example, deaths caused by a drunk driver, defective or dangerous products, construction of unsafe structures or buildings, or failing to diagnose a fatal disease may be considered under the law as wrongful deaths.

Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice claims and lawsuits arise when patients are injured or die as a result of the carelessness or intentional acts of doctors, nurses, hospitals, dentists, or other healthcare provider. Medical malpractice claims commonly involve medical errors, birth injuries, surgical errors, pharmacy medication errors, misdiagnosis, failure to diagnose cancer (breast, bladder, lung, ovarian, cervical, pelvic), misread tests or X-rays, HMO misconduct, adverse drug reactions, and medical device failure.

Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

Nursing home lawsuits and claims arise due to abuse, neglect, inadequate medical care and medical mistakes because of untrained or uncaring staff. Nursing home lawsuits commonly involve bed sores, pressure ulcers, falls, physical abuse, sexual abuse, assault, dehydration or malnutrition, choking on food, burns, and other injuries that occur in nursing homes, assisted living facilities and by home healthcare providers.

      Jason Wheeless is one incredible attorney. From the very beginning I felt at ease and confident he would do everything in his power to achieve an ideal outcome for me. In less than 10 days Jason was able to do what I thought would be nearly impossible. I can’t thank you enough, Jason, you are simply amazing! I also want to thank you for your kind and sincere words of support and encouragement. I am truly grateful for your counsel and wisdom.

      I am so grateful for the guidance and support my attorney, Jenna Richards, provided. She gave me sound, straightforward advice and always made sure I understood my options. Most importantly, Jenna never made me feel judged or like a bad person—something that meant so much to me during a very difficult and unfortunate situation. She stood by me through the entire process and helped me get through it step by step. I would highly recommend Jenna to anyone who needs not only strong legal representation but also compassion and understanding along the way.

      Very professional and helpful law group. Right off the bat, they made me feel like they had my best interests at heart. Never felt any judgement or any sense that I was wasting their time with my questions, no matter how simple the questions may have been. And they always made themselves readily available to help me with sudden unexpected concerns that may have come up.
