Portland Oregon Personal Injury Lawyer
Steve Smucker is a Portland, Oregon Personal Injury Lawyer, and has been for 30 years. He received his undergraduate degree from Reed College in 1976, and his law degree from the University of Oregon in 1981. His practice is devoted exclusively to helping people with serious injuries recover all the money they are entitled to from the responsible insurance company. He’s grateful when people who trust him in the beginning know at the end of the day they were represented well by a good lawyer.
Mr. Smucker has an AV rating from the independent rating firm, Martindale-Hubbel, which is given to lawyers who exhibit the highest levels of skill and integrity. He is a member of the Oregon and Washington State Bar Associations, the Oregon Trial Lawyers Association, and Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (MADD).
Steve Smucker represents people who have personal injury claims against insurance companies – single moms, teachers, chiropractors, glass blowers, janitors, school bus drivers, race car drivers, massage therapists, college professors, college students, lawyers, doctors, and TV personalities. Not one of these people asked to be hurt, and not one of their cases was frivolous.
Personal injury claims arise in very different ways. Most commonly, personal injury claims involve injuries sustained in motor vehicle accidents between trucks and cars, motorcycles and cars, pedestrians and cars, or bikes and cars. Mr. Smucker often uses his position as personal injury lawyer to bring justice to those hurt in drunk driving “accidents.”
Injury claims also exist against the owner of an unleashed dog that attacks a child, the hotel owner who allows lice to proliferate in unwashed linens, and then rents the room to an unsuspecting family, a night club owner who hires a felon with a violent past to be the club’s bouncer, or a trucking company that puts an alcoholic with a spotty past behind the steering wheel of a big truck.
Steve represents people who are injured through the careless, negligent, or intentional acts of others.
His mission is to get money for those who need it. He has helped people with traumatic brain injuries, orthopedic fractures, burns, lacerations, sprains and strains recover compensation for their injuries. He has also represented the estates of decedents in wrongful death claims.
