Personal Injury

As we see with many professionals today, personal injury lawyers are becoming more specialized. This is particularly true in large metropolitan areas, and so finding the best personal injury lawyer in Portland, or the best personal injury lawyer in Seattle for your case depends upon the type of legal case, and the types of injuries involved. If the lawyer has pushed themselves to achieve excellence, this system allows one personal injury lawyer to provide the best quality service to an individual with that type of legal problem, or a specific type of personal injury.
For much of his career as a doctor Dr. DeShaw specialized in the diagnosis and treatment of brain injuries and other neurological injuries resulting from motor vehicle collisions.

Top 5 Factors in Choosing the Best Oregon Personal Injury Lawyer
Aaron DeShaw has an extensive background handling personal injury cases in Oregon, Washington, and nationally. As the author of multiple books on insurance claim practices, and as a lawyer in insurance class action and insurance bad faith cases, Dr. DeShaw has spent over 20 years studying the internal claim practices of insurers such as Allstate, State Farm, GEICO, Farmers, USAA and others. Dr. DeShaw has reviewed approximately 30,000 pages of unprotected insurance documents, and conducted extensive interviews on former insurance adjusters and claims supervisors regarding how major auto insurers evaluate claims. Our office has additionally reviewed approximately 1,000,000 pages of protected internal insurance company documents during cases against insurance companies.
We have taken this information and created a unique legal practice based upon the way that insurance companies evaluate personal injury claims. Dr. DeShaw has also gained substantial knowledge in his role publishing the leading litigation methods for the best lawyers in the United States, including a period as the publisher for the American Association for Justice - a national organization of plaintiff lawyers in the United States. This knowledge of how to select the right lawyer is critical to you getting the best outcome in your personal injury case.
Not all lawyers are the same in quality or case outcomes. This Oregon State Bar historically had ethical rules about comparing one lawyer's quality of services to that of another lawyer. While that rule has been abolished, the intent of this section is not to say our law firm is better than other law firms, but rather provide some important insights to people trying to decide on the best personal injury lawyer for their case. The prior prohibition left people seeking the best personal injury lawyer in Portland, or best personal injury lawyer in Oregon, with the task of researching lawyers based on available information. This remains the same because comparing the quality of lawyers for your specific case is not easy. If you are seriously injured by the carelessness or recklessness of one or more people or companies, you need to hire the right lawyer the first time, because changing lawyers part way through your case can be expensive - and can even result in you losing your trial.
Dr. DeShaw's detailed study of the plaintiff-lawyer techniques dovetails with his founding and ownership of the leading litigation publishing and continuing education company, Trial Guides. Here he provides some clear information about what you need to know to find the best personal injury attorney in Oregon for your particular case. Here are the Top 5 things you should consider in finding the best Personal Injury Lawyer in Portland, Oregon, the Best Personal Injury Lawyer in Seattle, Washington, or really in any state.
