“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."
Does Your Accident Qualify for a Personal Injury Claim?
Only a qualified personal injury lawyer can determine whether you have a valid claim. But in general, if you were injured because of someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation.
Here are some common situations that may lead to a personal injury case:
- Injuries caused by a defective product
- Motor vehicle accidents, including car and motorcycle crashes
- Bicycle and pedestrian accidents
- Slip and fall injuries on someone else’s property
- Work-related injuries caused by third-party negligence
- Dog bite injuries
If you’re unsure whether your situation qualifies, it’s best to speak with a Eugene personal injury attorney directly. The team at Strong Law has handled hundreds of successful claims. Call us at (206) 737-2997 to get answers and a free case evaluation.
Injuries from Bicycle Accidents
Bicycle accidents often result in serious injuries due to a lack of physical protection. Even with helmets and gloves, cyclists are vulnerable when struck by cars or trucks. In 2020 alone, 938 people died in bicycle accidents nationwide.
When Strong Law handles a bike accident case, we thoroughly investigate to determine who was at fault. In some cases, multiple parties may share responsibility, including:
- Negligent drivers
- The cyclist (in shared fault situations)
- The city or county responsible for road maintenance
- The bicycle manufacturer
- The party who assembled or repaired the bike
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
Traumatic brain injuries, including concussions, are among the most serious injuries we see. Even a mild concussion can have lasting effects, especially with repeat trauma. If you hit your head in any type of accident, seek medical care right away.
Common Car Accident Injuries in Eugene
Car accidents happen for many reasons — distracted driving, speeding, drunk driving, or mechanical failure. In some cases, a chain-reaction crash can involve multiple vehicles.
Other contributing factors include:
- Defective vehicle parts or design flaws
- Fatigued driving
- Hazards or debris in the road
- Reckless or aggressive driving
Injuries can range from cuts and bruises to spinal cord injuries and severe trauma. A qualified Eugene auto accident lawyer can help ensure you receive full compensation for both short-term and long-term effects.
Dog Bite Injuries
Dog bites can result in serious injuries, especially for children. Oregon law holds pet owners responsible when their dogs cause harm. Bite victims may face infections, nerve damage, scarring, or even fatal injuries depending on the circumstances.
If you or your child was bitten, speak to a dog bite lawyer at Strong Law. We can help hold the pet owner accountable.
Motorcycle Accident Injuries
Motorcyclists face a much higher risk of severe injuries in a crash. Without the protection of a vehicle, riders may suffer:
- Broken bones and fractures
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord damage
- Internal bleeding
- Burns or road rash
- Disfigurement or amputation
Many of these injuries can lead to permanent disability or long-term pain. If you’ve been in a motorcycle accident in or around Eugene, our personal injury attorneys are here to fight for the compensation you deserve.
Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrians are completely exposed during a collision, which makes these types of accidents especially dangerous. Even a slow-moving vehicle can cause life-threatening injuries.
Common injuries include:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal injuries
- Broken bones
- Internal injuries
If you’re hit by a car, get medical attention immediately, even if you feel okay. Some injuries may take hours or days to appear. When you’re ready, contact our Eugene personal injury lawyers for a free consultation. We’ll help you understand your rights and legal options for pursuing compensation.
What About Wrongful Death?
Losing a loved one in an accident is devastating. While no amount of money can replace that loss, a wrongful death claim can help ease the financial burden caused by funeral expenses, lost income, and emotional suffering.
Wrongful death cases require a thorough investigation, just like any other personal injury matter. It’s important to act quickly — evidence can be lost or unintentionally destroyed. If you believe your family has a claim, speak with a Eugene personal injury lawyer at Strong Law as soon as possible.

Personal Injury Law Statistics
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC), about 31 million Americans require medical treatment for accidental injuries each year. These injuries occur in everyday places, on the road, at work, in stores, and in homes.
Tragically, more than 173,000 deaths result from unintentional injuries annually.
Eugene Personal Injury Statistics
The CDC also reports that each year, 25.5 million people visit emergency rooms for injuries, while another 24.8 million seek treatment in doctors’ offices. Sadly, nearly 225,000 people die from unintentional injuries every year. Around 45,000 of these are from vehicle accidents, and 44,000 are from falls.

Eugene Personal Injury Lawyer FAQs
What is the statute of limitations for personal injury cases in Oregon?
In Oregon, you have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit and three years for wrongful death. The sooner you contact a lawyer, the better your chances of building a strong case.
What should I say to the insurance company after an accident?
Provide only basic facts — your name and contact details. Avoid giving details about the accident or your injuries. Let your personal injury attorney handle all further communication.
How long does it take to settle a personal injury case?
Simple cases may settle within weeks or a few months. If litigation is required, the process can take longer due to court filings, responses, discovery, motions, and trial preparation. Each case is unique.
Who pays my medical bills while my case is pending?
Use your health insurance, Medicaid, Medicare, or personal injury protection (PIP) coverage. You may need to repay certain providers from your settlement. Some hospitals may offer payment plans or reduced rates.
Should I see a doctor even if my injuries seem minor?
Yes. Many injuries don’t show symptoms right away. A prompt medical evaluation not only protects your health but also documents your injuries for your claim.
What can I post on social media after my accident?
Be cautious. Share only basic facts. Avoid discussing fault, blaming others, or exaggerating injuries. Even photos and posts can be used by the defense.
Is it worth pursuing punitive damages?
If your injury resulted from gross negligence or reckless conduct, punitive damages may be appropriate. Your Eugene personal injury attorney can advise you based on the facts of your case.
