- Personal InjuryPersonal injury law in Oregon is a mix of what is called common law and statutory law. Common law is law that has been passed down for centuries– some of it even originating in the England. Statutory law in Oregon is codified law in what is called the Oregon Revised Statutes. This body of law is further defined by what is called “case law.” Case law is the collective opinions from the Oregon Court of Appeals and Oregon Supreme Court which analyze, define, limit, and expand the common law and statutory authority.
- Medical MalpracticeRomano Law has the background and knowledge to provide specialized legal guidance in various areas of personal injury law. Covering wrongful death cases, traumatic brain injury cases, medical malpractice cases, motorcycle accident cases, bike accident cases, car accident cases, and dog bite cases, a professional personal injury lawyer can help you properly prepare your case.
- Auto Accidents
- Dog BitesA personal injury is physical injury inflicted to a person’s body, as opposed to damage to property or reputation. The injury can be more than just physical, and can even be to the body, mind, or emotions. For example, a slip-and-fall accident on a banana peel in the grocery store, could be considered a personal injury because of the actual physical harm (e.g. broken leg and bruises) you suffered in the fall as well as the pain and suffering, and loss of work. In another example, an automobile accident resulting in neck sprain or strain (whiplash), broken ribs, hospitalization, back pain, and the resulting short-term and long-term medical bills. Common injuries associated with personal injury cases include whiplash injury, neck and back strain, traumatic brain injury (TBI) and head trauma, burn injuries, bone fractures, amputations, and internal organ damage. The main types of cases that fall under personal injury law are motor vehicle accidents, pedestrian/bicycle accidents, dog bites, wrongful death, and professional malpractice.

We can help unmarried couples with custody and parenting time issues, as well as child support calculations and enforcement. We also handle juvenile delinquency cases, and juvenile dependency cases.
