Free Consultation With a Portland Surgery Accident Lawyer
Those of you who have suffered through an accident requiring surgery know that there is no such thing as a minor surgery. Surgery can be the result of months of painful attempts at recovery and the precursor to many more months of painful or frustrating rehabilitation. In other words, the months leading up to the surgery can be filled with pain and anxiety and the months after can seem filled with frustrating fits and starts on the road to recovery.
Even a relatively quick and safe surgical procedure can carry increased risks, in the form of an error during the surgery, an infection after or the most common kind: a surgery that just does not correct the problem. Sometimes a second surgery, or even multiple follow up surgeries, can be required to more fully address the problem.
Dealing with insurance companies, whether it is yours or the party's who caused the accident, can become a time-consuming and daunting task.

When you have been in an accident that requires surgery-anywhere in Oregon, from Portland to Salem or Corvallis, Seaside, Lincoln City or Astoria, over to Bend, Madras or Redmond-you need to focus first on your physical recovery and then on your financial recovery. You need a lawyer with a statewide practice who knows juries throughout the state but has enough experience to know that surgery cases take a special type of experience. You need a top Oregon injury lawyer who knows how to gather evidence in a surgery case, how to analyze medical records and work with physicians and surgeons. You need an Oregon injury lawyer who knows how to present a lost wages or lost income case forcefully and persuasively.
Most of all, you need an experienced injury lawyer who knows how to tell your story to the jury. Injuries requiring surgery can be life changing. Recreational or stress relief activities like walking, jogging, hiking or riding a bicycle can become more difficult or painful, or sometimes impossible. Many injury clients have trouble picking up their children or doing simple chores around the house. Sometimes these limitations are temporary as the injury victim heals from the surgery. Sometimes a surgery cannot correct these problems and the client faces permanent limitations or multiple surgeries.
As a former insurance company lawyer, Sarah Nelson, P.C., knows how to present your insurance claim persuasively. The insurance companies know Sarah Nelson and they know that if they do not make a fair offer she will take the case to trial and be an effective advocate in the courtroom. The result is simple. Either you end up with a fair settlement before trial or you maximize your recovery at trial.
