A catastrophic injury can change your life
A catastrophic injury can change your life in an instant. After a serious accident, you may be facing permanent disability, long-term medical care, and overwhelming physical, emotional, and financial pressure.
At Strong Law, our Eugene catastrophic injury lawyers help clients pursue the compensation they need to move forward after life-changing harm. We guide catastrophic injury claims from start to finish and build them with Oregon law in mind, including the state’s comparative-fault framework and the deadlines that can apply to personal injury cases. ORS 31.600 addresses comparative fault, and ORS 12.110 covers key time limits for certain injury claims.
We’re based right here in Eugene, near 5th Street Market, and we understand how disruptive a serious injury can be for individuals and families across Eugene and Lane County. Whether your injuries were caused by a crash, a fall, or medical negligence, we are ready to investigate your case, prove liability, and fight for maximum compensation. In severe injury cases, our legal team focuses on documenting future care needs, lost earning capacity, and the full long-term impact of the injury while working to hold every negligent party accountable. For broader accident and injury representation, you can also visit our personal injury lawyers in Eugene.
Serious Injuries Have Long-Term Consequences
Catastrophic injuries often include traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), spinal cord injuries, amputations, severe burns, and organ damage. These injuries don’t just affect the body, they impact families, careers, and futures.
If someone else’s negligence caused your injury, our team is here to hold them accountable. We’ll work to recover damages for medical expenses, ongoing care, lost income, and pain and suffering — so you can focus on healing and adjusting to your new reality.
We also help families in the aftermath of fatal injuries. If you lost a loved one due to another’s negligence, our Eugene wrongful death attorneys are here to support your claim for justice and compensation.

How Our Eugene Catastrophic Injury Attorneys Can Help
After a life-altering injury, your focus should be on healing, not dealing with insurance companies or worrying about long-term medical bills. At Strong Law, our Eugene catastrophic injury lawyers step in to manage the legal process so you can prioritize recovery.
Serious injuries often require extensive care, home modifications, and lost income that can overwhelm a family. Our attorneys work to remove the financial burden by holding the responsible party accountable. If your harm led to lasting limitations, a Eugene permanent injury attorney from our firm can help coordinate life-care planning and expert testimony.
Fighting for the Financial Support You Deserve
From the start, we investigate what happened, determine who’s at fault, and build a case for full compensation. That may include medical bills, therapy costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term care.
If your injury stems from a collision, our Eugene car accident lawyers or truck accident attorneys can collaborate to strengthen your case. We also frequently assist those hurt in construction site accidents and brain injury cases. If a head impact is involved, a Eugene traumatic brain injury lawyer can collaborate with neurologists; and when mobility is affected, a Eugene spinal cord injury lawyer helps present the full scope of care.
Legal Guidance from a Team That Knows the System
Insurance companies often pressure injured people to settle quickly, but fast settlements rarely account for future treatment, long-term disability, or lost earning capacity. With Strong Law on your side, you get advocates who used to work inside the insurance system and know how to push back. We help people in Eugene and across Lane County evaluate serious injury claims with Oregon’s legal framework in mind, including the state’s comparative-fault rules and the deadlines that can apply to personal injury cases.

“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 to Expect When You Receive a Settlement
After you win your case, whether through a negotiated settlement or trial verdict, there’s still a process before you receive your funds. Here’s what typically happens:
- Finalizing the paperwork: You’ll sign a release or settlement agreement. If your case went to trial, the court must file a final judgment.
- Insurance processing: The insurance company processes the claim and sends a check to our office. This may take a few days to a couple of weeks depending on the carrier.
- Clearing and disbursing funds: We deposit the check into a client trust account, pay any medical liens or balances, and deduct agreed-upon legal fees. Once cleared, the balance is sent to you directly.
We make sure this process is transparent and as fast as possible so you can move forward with peace of mind.
Recoverable Damages in a Catastrophic Injury Case
If you or a loved one suffered a life-altering injury, you may be entitled to compensation for both financial losses and the personal impact of the accident. These damages fall into two main categories:
Economic Damages
These are direct financial losses with measurable costs, such as:
Emergency room care, surgery, and follow-up medical visits Rehabilitation, physical therapy, and long-term in-home care Lost wages during recovery and loss of future earning capacity Home modifications and medical equipment (e.g., ramps, wheelchairs) Property damage from the incident Funeral and burial costs in fatal cases
Non-Economic Damages
These compensate for the emotional and physical hardships resulting from your injury:
Pain and suffering Emotional distress and trauma Loss of enjoyment of life Loss of companionship or consortium Scarring, disfigurement, or permanent disability
Our Eugene attorneys can help calculate and present these damages clearly to the insurance company or in court, ensuring you pursue the full value of your case.

Frequently Asked Questions About Catastrophic Injuries in Eugene
What types of accidents cause catastrophic injuries?
Severe injuries can result from vehicle collisions, workplace incidents, construction accidents, and unsafe property conditions. Our team helps clients facing trauma from spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, burns, and amputations. Visit our spinal injury and brain injury pages for more details.
What damages can I recover?
You may be entitled to economic damages (medical bills, lost income, rehabilitation costs) and non-economic damages (pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of quality of life).
How long do I have to file a claim in Oregon?
Oregon’s statute of limitations for personal injury is generally two years from the date of injury. It’s best to contact a lawyer as soon as possible to protect your rights.
Will the insurance company offer a fair settlement?
Most initial offers are lower than what your case is truly worth. Insurers often hope you’ll accept a quick payout. Let our attorneys review the offer before you sign anything.
Can I still file a claim if I’m partially at fault?
Yes. Oregon follows a comparative negligence system, which means your compensation may be reduced based on your percentage of fault—but you can still recover damages if you’re less than 51% at fault.
How do I afford a catastrophic injury lawyer?
We work on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing upfront. If we don’t win, you don’t owe us anything.

How Strong Law will handle your case

We review medical bills, lost income, future care, pain and suffering, property damage when applicable, and other losses tied to the claim.
