Injury Claims in Portland

When you have been the victim of a negligent act of another and were injured, it is a frightening experience. You may need extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation to recover . Some injuries are so severe that there is no possibility of returning to the earlier quality of life. At Squires and Associates, P.C. we are committed to helping the injured and their families resolve compensation claims in injury cases of all types.

Unfortunately, insurance companies work overtime to try to avoid paying compensation at a level that is fair. Adjusters usually move quickly to contact the injured or their families and make a settlement offer. The injured victim, without legal representation, could accept a settlement offer that is unfair and inadequate. Our firm carefully evaluates each case and files a claim that is just, and is very aggressive in pressing insurance companies to provide fair compensation for our injured clients.
