Please let me tell you about these guys. Derek, Keith, and their staff are kind, respectful, and show a heart for achieving the best outcome for their clients. I thought my case seemed like a long shot and it might be just too much to expect someone to do on contingency. Imagine my delight when they took it on and worked it with an amazing level of honesty and integrity, helping both me and the community in the end. I highly recommend that if you find yourself in need of injury lawyers, call the Larwick guys!
I highly recommend Larwick Law. They were incredibly responsive, professional, and helpful throughout the entire process. Any questions or concerns I had were addressed quickly, and I always felt informed and supported. Their team made a stressful situation much easier to navigate, and I truly appreciated their communication and attention to detail. Excellent service from start to finish!
I recently consulted with Derek regarding a personal injury matter, and I was genuinely impressed by the way he approached my situation. He took the time to listen, understand the details of my case, and explain my options without making me feel pressured to hire him. What stood out most was that he seemed genuinely concerned about my outcome, not just what he could earn from my case. After speaking with other attorneys who seemed more focused on their potential income, his honesty and client-first approach really stood out. I left the consultation feeling better informed and confident about my options. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney who genuinely listens and puts the client's interests first.
Derek and his team are the best! Derek is very responsive, detail oriented, professional and extremely knowledgeable. He genuinely was concerned about me and family. I’m so thankful to have firm that truly cares about their clients. I was hit by a drunk driver while on the job and Derek was able to jump right in and take over and start working for me. This was a huge weight lifted off my shoulders in a time of need. I cant say enough good things about Derek and his firm. Thank you for all the hard work on my case and seeing it through to the end. I would highly recommend Derek.
Larwick Injury Law is absolutely amazing! Everyone in the office has been so incredibly good to me and stood by my side every step of the way. A huge thank you and special shout-out to Derek Larwick and Keith Reed for going above and beyond to support me when I needed it most. I am beyond thankful for this team's kindness, dedication, and incredible care. I highly recommend them to anyone!
I have hired Derek Larwick twice now, and he and his staff consistently go above and beyond. Having worked with other personal injury attorneys in the area in the past, I can confidently say Derek is the only one I truly trust. Their personable approach and dedication exceeded my expectations at every turn. I highly recommend them!
Common Causes of Auto Collisions in Eugene and across Oregon
Understanding what led to your collision is key to building a strong case. In our area, we see wrecks caused by:
Distracted driving - texting and phone use, still the number one cause we see
Speeding and reckless driving, especially on Beltline, I-5, and Highway 99
Driving under the influence
Rear-end and chain-reaction pileups, common in stop-and-go Delta Highway backups
Failing to yield or running a signal at busy intersections
Dangerous road conditions, from winter rain & snow on Willamette Pass & McKenzie Highway to poor signage
Defective vehicle parts
What to Do After a Car Accident in Eugene
Not sure what to do right after a crash? Here's the simple version, from people who handle Oregon car accident claims every day:
- Check for injuries and call 911. Even a "small" wreck can hurt someone. Get help on the way first.
- Move to safety if you can. On busy roads like Beltline or Delta Highway, staying in the lane is dangerous. If the cars still run and no one is badly hurt, move them out of traffic.
- Take photos of everything. Cars, license plates, the street, skid marks, your injuries. Your phone is your best witness.
- Get names and numbers. The other driver, plus anyone who saw it happen.
- See a doctor, even if you feel "okay." Some injuries, like whiplash or a concussion, show up days later. A record from day one protects your health and your claim.
- Call a car crash lawyer before you talk to the other driver's insurance. This one matters. The first offer is almost never a fair one.
Oregon has a deadline, called the statute of limitations, for filing most injury claims, so don't wait too long to ask questions. It's free to find out where you stand.
Auto Collision FAQs
Find answers to your most pressing questions about auto collision cases.
You may still be able to recover money. Oregon follows a "modified comparative negligence" rule, which means you can still make a claim as long as you're not more than 50% at fault. Your compensation is just reduced by your share of the blame. Insurers often try to pin more fault on you than you deserve, so don't assume you're out of options before talking to us.
Be careful here. The other driver's insurer may call within days, sounding friendly and helpful. But their job is to pay you as little as possible. Anything you say, even a simple "I'm doing okay," can be used to shrink your claim. You're not required to give them a recorded statement. It's best to talk to a lawyer first, and let us handle those conversations for you.
You may still be covered. In Oregon, most auto policies include uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage, which can pay for your injuries when the at-fault driver has no insurance, not enough, or flees the scene. A lot of people don't realize they have this protection. We'll check your policy and pursue every source of coverage available to you.
Oregon sets a legal deadline for most injury claims, and evidence fades long before that. The sooner you call, the stronger your case. It's free to find out if you have one.
Nothing up front. We work on a contingency fee, which means we only get paid if we win money for you. The first conversation is always free.
You have options, from PIP coverage to health insurance. In Oregon, your own auto policy's Personal Injury Protection usually helps cover early medical costs no matter who caused the crash. We'll walk you through it and work to maximize your recovery.
Not necessarily. It depends on fault and your coverage. We can help you understand what’s at risk before you take any steps.
You can. But insurers often delay, minimize, and devalue claims from unrepresented people. Many clients come to us after months of stalled progress and find out key evidence has already disappeared.
