Wrongful Death Lawyer in Portland

Wrongful death is defined as the death of a person caused by the wrongful act or omission of another individual.

If you have lost a loved one as the result of a serious injury accident, nothing can replace your loss, or compensate you properly. But retaining an experienced wrongful death attorney to represent you during this tumultuous time in your life can provide you the sense of control, and perhaps justice, that you are looking for.

Losing a loved one, especially under unexpected and tragic circumstances, is an extremely stressful and emotional time for anyone. We understand that and have helped many others just like you receive the compensation you rightfully deserve. Only an experienced Oregon wrongful death lawyer should represent you; a wrongful death attorney who will be attentive and sensitive to your needs. You can begin your road to recovery by calling Gilroy & Napoli at 503-620-9887 to schedule an appointment to discuss your case.

No Fees Unless You Win

At Gilroy & Napoli, you will not be charged any fee unless, and until, we win your wrongful death case. Our fees are based on a percentage of the amount we obtain for you. Moreover, we never settle your wrongful death case without your explicit authorization.

Compensation: What You Are Entitled To In Wrongful Death Cases

If you have lost a loved one due to wrongful death, you may be entitled to the following compensation:

  • Compensation for your pain and suffering
  • Recovery of loss of earnings of the decedent
  • Compensation for your loss of companionship
  • Reimbursement for funeral and burial expenses
  • Recovery of your current and future financial losses
  • Reimbursement for your out-of-pocket expenses
  • Reimbursement or payments relating to medical expenses

Compensation: How Much Is My Case Worth?

The amount of damages an Oregon wrongful death lawyer can obtain for you depends on several factors, including:

  • The age and health of the deceased and heirs
  • The life expectancy of the deceased and heirs
  • The financial loss and emotional loss
  • The insurance coverage
  • Whether or not surviving family members were dependent upon the deceased for income for support
  • The loss of companionship, love and affection to the surviving spouse, children, parents and other surviving family members

Wrongful Death Causes

Most often, wrongful deaths are caused by the negligence, recklessness, or carelessness of another person or a corporate entity.

Common causes of wrongful death include:

  • Bus accidents
  • Car accidents
  • Construction accidents
  • Defective products / product liability
  • Drunk drivers
  • Fires
  • Industrial accidents

Can You Settle My Case Out Of Court?

The wrongful death attorneys at Gilroy & Napoli will do everything possible to settle your wrongful death case out of court. Based upon our experience, most of our wrongful death cases are settled out of court without going to trial. We will never settle your wrongful death case out of court without your explicit authorization.

Gilroy & Napoli Reviews

"I used John Gilroy with Gilroy & Napoli to represent me in a very complex and multi-faceted case. I travelled from Hawaii to deal with my case and made a point to interview several different firms. I felt instantly comfortable with John and his staff and never felt judged or looked down upon. Since I live across the Pacific Ocean and am not in state to deal with this legal matter, finding the right lawyer and firm was essential. My requirements were the following: knowledge of the law, loads of experience, amicable connections, excellent communication, likability, cost and ability to think outside the box. John Gilroy far exceeded my expectations on all accounts. His resume, experience and knowledge of the legal system are outstanding and his contacts and connections saved me both time and money. The amount I saved from his thinking outside of the box and directing me clearly on what to do covered more than his fees; I ended up saving money by using Gilroy and Napoli. He's also a very nice guy. This may not seem important; however, having a lawyer who has a good reputation among his peers and colleagues is necessary. Many lawyers will reference that they know everyone in the system, but he genuinely does. His professional history outlines it and my experience proves it. I highly recommend John Gilroy and Gilroy & Napoli."

"Needing a criminal attorney is a very scary and humbling thing. The best decision I made in this process was choosing John Gilroy to represent me"

"Things are very different from the laws in our home state. My wife found Jeff and John through Google and it was the best find ever. Jeff met with us and explained how the laws are administered, what to expect worst case and what he thought would be the outcome; (we came out better than expected). More importantly, he promised no surprises: and he delivered. The entire office was extremely professional, instilling the confidence we needed in a time when calm and reason are called for. Jeff Napoli is by far the most competent attorney I have witnessed and he knows the law. Jeff is very highly respected in the Washington County legal environment and for good reason. Thank you Jeff and thanks to the entire office."

"To anyone reading this take the time and make the call. It will change your life. Before talking to Mr. Napoli, I felt like I was all alone with no one in my corner. The staff at Gilroy & Napoli are so attentive to specific needs, I never felt alone. The strong and powerful feeling you need to fight your battle is there. Please call them. Let them hear your story. Don't be afraid. It was by far one of the most important calls I have ever made and will never ever be more thankful for their hard work."

"From the beginning John was straightforward, knowledgeable, and concerning. John helped me understand the process, and through his knowledge and experience was able to help me make complicated decisions. Considering that a measure 11 conviction carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 5 years 10 months in prison, the fact that John was able negotiate a significantly less sentence and a class of felony that would be expungeable was a good outcome considering the above mentioned possibility. After my release I sought John's representation again to have the felony expunged from my record, and again he delivered. Thank you John, I cannot say that enough!"

"I was scared and trembling. I didn't even know the difference between and misdemeanor and a felony, but I knew our family needed immediate legal help. I was greeted by the calm, kind and friendly voice of John Gilroy. He gave me information, advice and answered all my questions. I soon found that John was a family man who wanted nothing but the best for us. He took charge, worked hard and kept us informed every step of the way. John is well known and respected and he knows what needs to be done and how to do it.Of course you never want to make the call to an attorney, but if you have to, make it to a friend...Gilroy and Napoli."
