Aviation Accident Attorney Representing Clients in Portland
Frequently Asked Questions
Were you injured in an aviation accident and have numerous questions?
At Dawson Law Group we have the answers you have been seeking. We can provide you with the most qualified Portland aviation accident attorney in Oregon. We specialize in personal injury law and are well versed in the law surrounding aviation accidents. Below we have sought to answer the questions we are most commonly asked by our clients who have been in aviation accidents.
Do I need a Portland personal injury attorney after being injured in an aviation accident?
Yes. If you or one of your loved ones were injured in an aviation accident you have the right to be compensated for your injuries but will require the aid of the most skilled personal injury attorney Portland Oregon has to offer. The claims process in aviation accidents can be long and drawn out not to mention extremely complex. You are more likely to receive the full amount you are owed if you have qualified legal representation.
The airline’s insurance company wishes to speak with me; should I talk with them?
At Dawson Law Group we strongly recommend that you do not. The airline’s insurance company is seeking to do damage control and is looking out for the airline and not you. The representative that you speak with is trained to do all that they can to get you to settle for less than you are owed. It is far better that you hire the most skilled personal injury attorney Portland Oregon can provide and allow them to handle the airline’s insurance company. At Dawson Law Group, Portland aviation accident attorney would be honored to take on the insurance companies and ensure that you are justly compensated for all that you have suffered.
What is the time limit for me to file a claim against the airline?
In every case, the statute of limitations will be slightly different. Every state has different laws surrounding aviation accidents and their claims. However, generally, you will have up to one year to file your claim. If the airline company you are seeking to sue for damages is a federal company the statute of limitations may be even shorter than the general one-year rule. This makes it vital to have a personal injury attorney in Portland Oregon on your side. Consult with an attorney as soon after your accident as possible. They will be able to inform you of your options and any time limits that may apply.
What can I be compensated for in my aviation accident claim?
You have the right to be compensated for all of your financial losses. Your present and future medical bills, lost wages, and lost earning capacity are all areas that you should be compensated for. Pain and suffering, disfigurement, and mental anguish are non-financial losses that you also have the right to have remunerated. The personal injury attorney in Portland Oregon that you hire will be able to evaluate all your losses, financial and non-financial.

Client Reviews
Below are some of our over 90 five-star reviews:
Brian is the antithesis of every great lawyer joke I've ever heard. A brilliant keen and thorough mind in service of a giving heart and spirit.
As a small contractor we faced 3 years of frivolous legal attacks and stress. A disappointing reward for helping a homeless former tradesman. No fun having the sheriff knocking at the door with a deposition!
Brian calmly and steadily defended every desperate appeal looking to shake both us and the insurance company down.
I recommend him without reservation.
Don
Integrity, compassion, professional and always thinking!
When you need an attorney, you already feel vulnerable but he took such good care of our son. Grateful to have had him on our side.
The case was difficult. Most attorneys, in the category, look for the easy payout cases. Bryan still took this on. He and his wonderful staff, Michelle and Michael, took great care of me until the very end. I appreciate you, Bryan Dawson! You are definitely my hero!
