Our Eugene lawyers handle a wide range of personal injury cases, including vehicle and pedestrian accidents, dog bites, wrongful death, and traumatic brain injuries. We’re here to protect your rights and fight for the justice you deserve.

Founder Jed Strong brings a unique perspective to every case. Before representing accident victims, he served as in-house counsel for GEICO, gaining firsthand knowledge of how insurance companies evaluate claims. Today, he uses that experience to advocate fiercely for clients as an Oregon personal injury attorney.
Since opening Strong Law in 2016, Jed and the team have maintained a 98% success rate driven by their commitment to going to trial when needed to get justice for their clients.
Our Eugene personal injury lawyers handle a wide range of cases, including:
Busy roads like Franklin Boulevard and Coburg Road contribute to frequent traffic accidents in Eugene. Our team has a strong understanding of local traffic laws and has successfully represented injury victims throughout Lane County. If you’re searching for an Oregon personal injury attorney who knows the area and the system, we’re here to help.
Your first consultation with our Eugene personal injury lawyers is free. You won’t pay any legal fees unless we recover compensation for you.
We’ll communicate directly with the insurance company and work toward a fair settlement. If a reasonable offer is made early, your case could be resolved within a matter of weeks. If not, we’ll guide you through the next steps, whether that means continuing negotiations or preparing for trial.
While most personal injury cases settle outside of court, we’re fully prepared to take your case to trial if needed. Our attorneys will advise you when a settlement offer falls short and help you make an informed decision about whether to litigate.
If your case moves to court, our lawyers will handle all filings, collect necessary records, and work closely with your medical providers. We may conduct additional investigations to strengthen your case — especially in situations involving long-term or permanent injuries.
Throughout the process, you’ll have regular check-ins with your legal team so you understand your options and potential compensation.
"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."
"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 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."

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:
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.
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:
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 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.
Motorcyclists face a much higher risk of severe injuries in a crash. Without the protection of a vehicle, riders may suffer:
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.
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:
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.

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.
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.
If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence, speak with a qualified Eugene personal injury lawyer at Strong Law.
Gather evidence, interview witnesses, and assess the circumstances surrounding the accident to establish facts and liability.
Determine the extent of damages, including medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Engage in discussions with the opposing party or insurance companies to reach a fair settlement outside of court.
If negotiations fail, proceed to court where legal arguments and evidence are presented before a judge or jury for a final decision.
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.
A serious injury or wrongful death can disrupt your life and your income. You may be unable to work, or you may have relied on a loved one who can no longer provide for the family.
Let us help you recover the damages you deserve. The personal injury attorneys at Strong Law’s Eugene office will fight for compensation to cover your medical expenses, lost wages, and more.
