Who This Is For

You May Have a Personal Injury Claim If Someone Else Caused Your Harm

Personal injury law covers cases where another person, company, institution, or property owner caused harm through negligence, unsafe choices, or failure to act. You may have a claim if:

  • You were injured in a car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, or pedestrian accident.

  • You were seriously hurt on unsafe property.

  • You are unsure whether you have a case, but you know something went wrong.

  • A defective product caused your injury.

  • Your injury has affected your work, mobility, independence, or daily life.

  • A loved one died because of someone else’s negligence.

Why These Cases Matter

A Personal Injury Case Is About More Than Medical Bills

After an injury, the first concern is usually physical recovery. But the damage often reaches much further. You may be missing work, facing future medical care, dealing with pain, or trying to adjust to a life that no longer feels the same.

Insurance companies often focus on limiting what they pay. We focus on the full picture.

Osborn Machler & Neff looks at how the injury happened, who may be responsible, what evidence matters, and how the injury has affected your life now and into the future.

When to Call a Lawyer

Signs You Should Contact a Personal Injury Attorney

You should speak with an attorney if:

  • Your injuries required medical care.

  • You are missing work or losing income.

  • The insurance company is contacting you.

  • The accident involved a commercial vehicle, unsafe property, defective product, or serious misconduct.

  • Your injury may require future care or rehabilitation.

  • You were blamed for an accident you didn’t cause.

  • A loved one died because of negligence.

  • You’re unsure what your case may be worth.

You don’t need to have everything figured out

You don’t need to know whether you have a lawsuit before calling. You only need to know that you were hurt and have questions. We’ll listen to what happened, ask focused questions, and help you understand whether Osborn Machler & Neff can help.

Who Can Be Held Accountable

Personal Injury Cases Can Involve More Than One Responsible Party

Some cases are straightforward. Others involve multiple people, companies, insurers, contractors, property owners, or institutions. A serious injury case requires careful investigation to determine what happened, who had a duty to prevent harm, and whether their actions or failures caused the injury. Potentially responsible parties may include:

  • Negligent drivers

  • Property owners

  • Employers

  • Employers or contractors

  • Careless individuals

  • Commercial trucking companies

  • Businesses

  • Product manufacturers

  • Government entities

  • Companies responsible for unsafe conditions

  • Organizations that failed to protect people from known risks

Testimonials

What our Clients Say

It’s nice to have someone genuinely care about what you’re going through. I haven’t found that in a lot of attorneys. I appreciate that I’m not just another person in the turnstile. When you’re going through a hard time, almost nothing matters more than finding someone who actually cares about what you’re going through and uses that passion to fight for you.

I was recently involved in a very challenging legal matter that I was told was essentially unwinnable by several trusted confidants. I turned to the Osborn Machler firm based on their reputation with difficult and complex cases, and Austin Neff was assigned as the lead attorney in my case. His knowledge, professionalism, personability, and cool under fire makes him an outstanding choice for anyone facing difficult legal challenges.

 

Personal Injury FAQs

Find clear answers to common questions so you can move forward with confidence.

A personal injury case is a civil claim that may be available when someone is harmed because another person, company, property owner, institution, or organization acted carelessly or failed to prevent a known danger.

These cases can involve motor vehicle accidents, unsafe property, defective products, serious injury, wrongful death, and other forms of preventable harm. The goal is to hold the responsible party accountable and pursue compensation for the impact the injury has had on your life.

You may have a claim if someone else’s actions, inaction, or unsafe choices caused your injury. That can include a negligent driver, a business that failed to fix a hazard, a company that put an unsafe product on the market, or another party that failed to act responsibly.

You do not need to know the legal answer before contacting an attorney. If you were hurt, needed medical care, missed work, or are unsure who is responsible, it is worth having a conversation.

Your first priority is medical care. Get evaluated, follow your treatment plan, and keep records of your appointments, bills, prescriptions, and symptoms.

You should also preserve any evidence you have, including photos, videos, names of witnesses, police reports, incident reports, damaged property, insurance letters, and communication from the other party. Before giving a recorded statement or accepting a settlement, consider speaking with a personal injury attorney.

You should contact an attorney as soon as possible if your injury required medical care, you are missing work, the insurance company is contacting you, fault is being disputed, or the injury may affect your future.

Early legal help can protect evidence, prevent insurance mistakes, and help you understand whether your case may involve more than one responsible party.

It costs nothing to submit your case for review. OMN’s case review page asks for basic information such as the type of case, where it happened, when it happened, who was involved, and your preferred contact method. Submitting the form doesn’t create an attorney-client relationship, but it allows the firm to review your information and contact you if they may be able to help.

Osborn Machler & Neff represents people in serious civil injury cases, including personal injury, wrongful death, medical malpractice, products liability, sexual abuse litigation, motor vehicle accidents, and other cases involving preventable harm.

Personal injury cases may involve car crashes, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, pedestrian injuries, unsafe property conditions, defective products, catastrophic injuries, and claims involving long-term harm.

A personal injury claim may help address medical bills, future medical care, lost income, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, disability, rehabilitation, loss of quality of life, and other damages tied to the injury.

In fatal injury cases, a wrongful death claim may help surviving family members pursue compensation for the loss of their loved one, financial support, companionship, and other legally recognized harms.

You should be careful. Insurance companies may sound helpful, but their goal is often to limit what they pay. They may ask for a recorded statement, push for a quick settlement, or frame questions in a way that can later be used against you.

Before giving a recorded statement or accepting money, it is smart to speak with an attorney so you understand your rights and the possible value of your claim.

Don’t assume the first offer reflects the full value of your case. Early settlement offers often come before the full extent of the injury, future care needs, lost income, and long term impact are known.

Once you accept a settlement, you may give up the right to seek more compensation later. An attorney can help you understand whether the offer is fair before you make a decision.

You may still have options. Injury cases are not always all-or-nothing. Sometimes more than one person or company shares responsibility for what happened.

Even if someone says you were partly at fault, do not assume you do not have a claim. The facts, evidence, witness statements, reports, and applicable law all matter.

There are deadlines for filing personal injury claims, and the deadline can depend on the type of case, where it happened, who was involved, and whether a government entity may be responsible.

Because missing a deadline can affect your rights, it’s important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible after an injury.

Important evidence may include medical records, photos, video footage, witness names, incident reports, police reports, insurance correspondence, employment records, repair records, damaged property, and documentation of pain, symptoms, and missed activities.

The sooner evidence is preserved, the better. Some evidence can disappear quickly, especially surveillance footage, vehicle data, physical conditions at a property, or records controlled by another party.

If your loved one died because of another person’s carelessness, unsafe conduct, medical negligence, defective product, or institutional failure, your family may have a wrongful death claim.

These cases are about accountability, but they are also about protecting the future of the people left behind. OMN can help families understand their options after preventable loss.

Serious injury cases require preparation, judgment, and the willingness to take on insurance companies, corporations, institutions, and responsible parties when they refuse to accept accountability.

Osborn Machler & Neff represents people across Washington and Oregon in serious civil injury cases and helps clients pursue compensation that reflects the full impact of what happened.
