How Our Portland Burn Injury Lawyer at Strong Law Can Help
If you decide to partner with a Portland burn injury attorney from our team, how can we help you? Some of the most important points to keep in mind include the following:
Reach Out to Experts
In some situations, we might need to reach out to experts who can support your case. For example, we may need to reach out to a doctor who can speak about the nature of your injuries, or we may need to contact an expert who is familiar with the piece of equipment that led to your burn injury.
Because we have handled these cases in the past, we have a strong cadre of experts to call upon to testify on your behalf. This will make it easier for the jury to understand exactly what you have experienced.
Collect Documentation
If we file a lawsuit on your behalf, we can subpoena various documents that can support your case. For example, we may need to collect documents related to the accident, or we might need to ask for documents related to a piece of heavy equipment that led to your injuries.
We can use our subpoena power to collect evidence that we can use to build a successful case on your behalf.
Depose Witnesses
If we need to speak to witnesses, we can subpoena them as well. We can depose them on your behalf, forcing them to answer questions under oath.
Then, based on the information we provide, we can formulate a strong case that we can use to pursue compensation for your injuries and lost income.
Negotiate a Favorable Settlement
As our team continue to build a strong case on your behalf, we can use our leverage to negotiate a favorable settlement. There are situations where it might be better for you to settle your case so you don’t have to worry about going to the courtroom.
If we settle your case out of court, you may also have the option of keeping all of the information related to your case confidential.
Take Your Case to Trial
At Strong Law, we will advise you every step of the way, but if you are not getting a fair settlement, we will recommend you take the case to trial instead. We understand you may have yet to go to court, but we will ensure that you are prepared for the trial.
Then we can present your case to a judge and jury to see how much they feel your case is worth. Count on us to act as your legal guide during this process.
What Should You Do After Suffering a Burn Injury?
If you have suffered a serious burn injury, we understand that you will probably have a lot of thoughts going through your head. You need to know what to do next.
Some of the actions you should take include:
Document Everything
You need to document everything related to the accident. For example, if you have suffered a burn injury and a motor vehicle accident, you should try to take pictures and videos of the scene. If you have been involved in a workplace accident that led to a serious burn injury, try to take pictures of what happened.
Seek Medical Care As Quickly As Possible
Your health has to come first, so seek medical care as quickly as possible. If you feel you cannot get to the doctor safely on your own, call 911 to ask for help.
If you have suffered a burn injury in a motor vehicle accident, you should always call 911 to ask for the authorities and emergency medical personnel to come to the scene.
If you have suffered your burn injury at work, you should report your injury to your employer before seeking medical care from an independent doctor.

“Very professional, and treated me as an equal.”
Just wanted to say thank you to Jed and his team at Strong Law. Not only was I happy with the outcome, but the entire process as a whole. I would definitely recommend this firm to anyone. Thanks again.
“Unbelievable work!”
I had a claim involving my own insurance company. I tried to negotiate with them, and they completely denied my claim – two times. I then hired Strong Law, and the change was instant. The insurance company immediately began negotiating, and Jed was able to secure an unbelievably good settlement. I will never again attempt to take-on an insurance company without Strong Law in my corner. Thank you!”
“I got justice and awesome compensation.”
“I hired Strong Law after my car accident. Jed and his team worked hard on my case. They were professional and compassionate through my surgery and as I recovered, and they were awesome on communication. I got justice and awesome compensation. I would recommend Strong Law to anyone in my situation.”

What Is the Value of My Case?

In a free case evaluation, we’ll let you know how much your case may be worth.
What Are Your Hours?
Strong Law is open five days a week between 9am and 5pm. In addition, we offer after hours return calls, weekend calls, and online chat.
What Kinds Of Cases Are Personal Injury?
Call us to know for sure, but a good rule of thumb is when an “accident” that happened to you because of the acts of or misdeeds of another party. Examples are: Auto accidents; motorcycle accidents; semi-truck accidents; wrongful death; medical malpractice; slip, trip and fall; boating accidents, faulty equipment, nursing home abuse; and many others.
Will I Be Charged To Consult Or Talk With You?
No, not ever. Strong Law is a contingency personal injury firm offering specialized experience along with access when you need it. Our goal is to gain the best settlement and provide comfort in the process, so easy access to us is part of our best practices.
What Does Contingency Mean?
Contingency in a legal matter means an expense to the client based on the outcome of a future event or circumstance which is possible but cannot be predicted with certainty. Said another way, Strong Law gets paid only if your case settles.
Can You Give Me An Assessment Of My Case?
Absolutely. While we cannot guarantee anything, nor do we imply a settlement, our willingness to take your case (and do it on contingency) is our voice that we feel your case has strong merit. After speaking with you, we can provide a merit assessment over the phone. However, we caution that accepting your case does not promise anything, your outcome is reflected in the law firm you choose.
What Should I Do If I’m Having Problems, Like Their Insurance Company Is Calling Me?
Always secure an attorney first. If you sign up with Strong Law now, you can advise their insurance company that you have representation and give them our name and contact information. From that time forward, they should not be contacting you again; it’s the law. If you do not sign with an attorney, like Strong Law, you will need to speak with them and represent yourself to resolve your injury. We strongly urge against this; insurance companies are skilled at ensuring their best interests over yours.
What Are Common Reasons For Insurance Injury Denials?
Make sure you receive medical treatment as soon as possible after an accident, otherwise insurance may argue your pain is from an unrelated incident.Insurance companies will be going out of their way to find some proof that the accident was your fault. Don’t be intimidated.If you have preexisting medical conditions that make you more likely to suffer an injury, it is not uncommon for insurance agencies to deny claims based on this.
How Long Does A Case Take To Settle?
It depends on many factors like medical care, future needs, evidence, proof of liability, and many others. Some cases take months while others can last a couple years. Ultimately, our goal is to represent you and what is going to be best for you in the long run.
Why Can Cases Last Years?
Because the law dictates it. There are many layers to make sure the insurance companies treat you with optimal care. For example, there will be time spent for medical treatments you might need. There is time to gather the needed medical reports and discover any long term impacts this injury will have on your life today and into the future. There is time for the other side to review our demands, research, and respond as well. It can feel like a long time, but we follow the law and strategize for the best benefit to you. We are with you the whole time.
