Eugene, Oregon Personal Injury Lawyer Resources

19 practice-area pages for this city

If you have been hurt in Eugene, on Interstate 5, Beltline Highway, or anywhere else in Lane County, the law governing your claim is Oregon's modified comparative fault rule with a 51% bar. If an adjuster, or a jury, decides you were more than half responsible for what happened, you recover nothing. That single rule quietly controls how every injury case in Eugene is negotiated and litigated, and it's the first thing insurance adjusters try to use against unrepresented claimants.

Eugene presents a distinctive case profile. The University of Oregon brings thousands of additional pedestrians and cyclists into downtown and the Whiteaker during the school year. Logging trucks and commercial vehicles move through the I-5 corridor and Highway 99, and wet-weather rear-end collisions along West 11th Avenue and Coburg Road are among the most common claims we see. Oregon's PIP coverage will pay for initial medical bills and wage loss regardless of fault, but that coverage runs out, and what comes next is where the fight begins.

I am George Goldberg, founding partner at Goldberg & Loren. For more than 32 years and over 20,000 cases, our firm has represented Oregonians injured by negligence, commercial vehicles, defective products, medical errors, and dangerous property conditions. I started this firm in 1994 on the defense side of airline litigation, and I switched to representing injured people in 1996 because I saw firsthand how insurance companies treat claims when no one is holding them accountable. That perspective shapes how we handle every Eugene case.

Below you will find our full directory of Eugene practice-area pages. Each page is a dedicated resource for a specific type of claim: car accidents, truck collisions, medical malpractice, wrongful death, slip and falls, and more. Browse to the one that fits your situation, or skip straight to a free consultation.

If you or a loved one has been injured in Eugene and you're not sure where to start, the best thing you can do today is talk to a lawyer who can tell you, in plain English, what your claim is worth and what deadlines apply. Call Goldberg & Loren now at 1-888-352-9243 for a free, confidential consultation. You pay nothing unless we win.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to file an injury claim in Eugene, Oregon?
Oregon generally imposes a two-year statute of limitations on personal injury claims, measured from the date of the injury. Claims against public bodies (for example, an incident involving a Lane Transit District bus or a City of Eugene vehicle) can require a tort claim notice within a much shorter window. Call us immediately if a public agency may be involved; the deadline to preserve your rights may be only a few months.
What is Oregon's comparative fault rule and how does it affect my case?
Oregon is a modified comparative fault state with a 51% bar. If the jury assigns you more than half the fault for an accident, you recover nothing. If you are 50% or less at fault, your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. This is why insurance adjusters work so hard to push any percentage of blame onto you. Even small percentages directly reduce what you can collect.
Do I need a lawyer if the other driver admitted fault?
Usually yes. Admission of fault at the scene rarely survives contact with the other driver's insurer, and even when liability is clear, adjusters routinely undervalue pain, wage loss, future care, and permanent impairment. A liability admission is a starting point, not a settlement.
What does it cost to hire Goldberg & Loren for a Eugene case?
Nothing up front. We work on contingency, which means you pay no fee and no costs unless we recover money on your case. The free consultation is genuinely free. There is no obligation to hire us afterward.
Can you handle my case if I live in Eugene but was injured out of state?
In many situations, yes. It depends on where the incident occurred and which state's law applies. Our firm has more than 32 years of personal injury experience and handles these situations regularly. Call us and we can tell you during the consultation whether our team can take the case directly or connect you with the right partner.
What should I do before calling a lawyer?
Get medical care first. Your health and a contemporaneous medical record matter more than anything else. Then, if you can, save the other driver's insurance information, photograph the scene, and do not give a recorded statement to the other side's insurer. Then call us. The consultation is free, and we would rather talk to you before you say something that hurts your case.
