After spending the first part of his career working for a prominent Portland personal injury defense firm (Hart Wagner LLP), Sean rededicated his practice to representing individuals and families who have been injured through the negligence of others. Sean brings extensive experience in personal injury matters, having represented clients in cases involving car and truck accidents, product defects, medical malpractice, and claims of wrongful death. He also represented a number of prominent local and regional employers in employment and civil rights cases. Sean is familiar with how insurance defense firms evaluate cases and defend them at trial, which lends invaluable strategy and credibility to his client’s cases. Personal injury falls under civil law, and it addresses the compensation of a victim of an accident due to another person or entity’s recklessness, carelessness, or malicious intent. Personal injury law allows the victim to file a civil lawsuit in court and get compensation, known as damages, for all losses incurred due to their accident.Just as with other types of law, personal injury law has the plaintiff, the injured party, who files the personal injury lawsuit. The defendant is the party on the other side, against who the case is brought.
