First and foremost, you are concerned about the prospects of a successful recovery. You may have acquired severe injuries that are keeping you away from work and your family. You are likely concerned about the expenses associated with these injuries, and how you will recover debt-free.Our duty at RizkLaw is to make sure you stay focused on your health while we take the lead on negotiations and legal matters. We\u2019re here to help you acquire the economic and non-economic damages associated with your accident to aid your path to a speedy recovery.\u00a0Contact Richard Rizk\u00a0at any time to discuss your personal injury case for free.In Oregon, you are entitled to compensation when you\u2019ve been hurt as the result of negligent or reckless actions. You can recover these damages through a claim to the negligent party\u2019s insurance company, or through a personal injury lawsuit. In either of these instances, your chances of recovering what you deserve to cover expenses associated with the accident exponentially increase with the guidance of a skilled personal injury attorney. To determine if you have a legitimate case, your attorney will seek to establish these three facts.Negligence OccurredIn order to hold the other party accountable for the injuries you\u2019ve incurred, you must be able to show that the other party acted negligently or recklessly. After a serious\u00a0car accident in Portland, you may be able to prove that the other driver was at fault because he missed a stop sign. This is a negligent action that is directly to blame for the collision.Negligence Prompted InjuryNegligence by itself won\u2019t guarantee you receive compensation for your injuries. You must be able to prove the link between the other party\u2019s negligent behavior and your injuries. In the above example, if the victim sustained head trauma, broken bones, whiplash, or any other injury because of that accident, the other driver\u2019s negligence would be considered the culprit for the personal injury. Had the driver respected the stop sign, the accident never would have occurred and you would not be in that hospital bed.When you work with RizkLaw, your attorney will thoroughly investigate everything that led up to the accident, the accident itself, and the aftermath of the accident to hold the at-fault party accountable and maximize your settlement.Injury Resulted in Recoverable DamagesIf the above two pieces of your case can be established, the final piece of the puzzle is to prove that you have suffered personal or financial harm because of the injuries you incurred. In Oregon, recoverable damages is an umbrella term for many expenses associated with your injuries. Economic damages include:Present and future medical billsLoss of wagesReduction in earning capacity as a result of your injuriesOregon law also allows victims to recover damages for non-economic damages, including:Present and future pain and sufferingDiminished quality of lifeLoss of companionship and supportPsychological damagesThough you may clearly be suffering, insurance companies are not sympathetic to any individual case. Insurance adjusters are incentivized to keep payouts low, and they will do what it takes to offer you a measly settlement or reject your claim completely. Do not take the first settlement offer and do not concern yourself with fighting insurers while you are healing. Allow Richard Rizk to get a hold of your case and win every cent you deserve.
