Catastrophic Injury Claims

Litigating Catastrophic Injury Cases

HSM attorneys have significant experience representing businesses and individuals in wrongful death, brain injury, paralysis, and other serious injury cases in State and Federal Courts throughout Oregon and Washington. 

Our team aggressively litigates catastrophic injury claims and frequently succeeds in obtaining dismissal or favorable settlement of such suits well in advance of trial. 

Efficient Resolution of Claims at the Earliest Possible Stage

Our litigation team investigates every claim with an eye towards efficient resolution to achieve the best outcome for our clients, whether negotiated or tried. 

We use focus groups, mock trials and other creative strategies to identify settlement cases early in the litigation process and to develop winning arguments for those cases that go to trial.

Our team has defended injury claims of all kinds involving trucking accidents, product defects, intentional torts and medical negligence.  Over many years our attorneys have resolved hundreds of cases with favorable outcomes for our clients. 

Our knowledge and experience in medical malpractice litigation serves us well when presenting complex medical issues to judge or jury.
