Oregon Personal Injury Attorney Offers Expert Defense Against Big Insurance

Before you lose time and money proceeding with an auto accident or personal injury claim, check with Oregon’s leading personal injury attorney Craig M. Hopkins. There are many potential traps and pitfalls when dealing directly with an insurance adjuster. Injury victims often end up giving a recorded statement, agreeing to be examined by a company doctor, or signing a release for something that they did not fully understand. If you are injured, you should consult with an attorney right away to learn about your rights.

Hopkins works closely with each client to find the right solution to his or her legal dilemma. He structures a rigorous defense for those who have been personally injured and advocates for the families of those who have been killed because of someone else's negligence.  According to Hopkins, “I became a lawyer because I love to help people and I take pride in fighting for the little guy. A lawsuit can secure a person’s financial future, and it is rewarding to have the opportunity to help my clients through the recovery process and to maximize compensation for my clients suffering from personal injury or wrongful death.”  

No newcomer to cases involving personal injury, auto accidents, wrongful-death, DUI/DWI and diminished value claims, Hopkins has over 15 years of experience advocating for those in need with an impressive success rate at winning cases. When asked what sets him apart from other personal injury lawyers Hopkins says, “I place a high a value on listening openly and closely to every client because, in my experience, that is the key foundation to formulating the most effective defense. Each client's personal needs and concerns are taken into account when formulating a plan of action. I rigorously defend, skillfully negotiate, and strive to achieve the very best result for my client.” In addition to maximizing recoveries for his clients suffering personal injury, he also handles criminal matters in an effective and confidential manner. 

The Hopkins Law Firm was established in Oregon in 2005. The firm's growth over the years can largely be attributed to Hopkins determination to give each client's case the personal and individual attention it needs and deserves. They provide a very personal service to people and families experiencing a personal injury or wrongful death. Hopkins emphasizes, “In many instances, we understand that our efforts will affect our clients for the rest of their lives. If I cannot give it that attention I will tell you so. I do not take cases unless I feel I can devote the resources necessary to attend to them properly.”   Accessibility is a unique and important aspect of Hopkins’s services. His expertise is available at any time with offsite and in home appointments available. He works on a contingency fee basis by providing a free initial consultation and does not collect an attorney fee until a personal injury case is won or settled.
