Ryan Hilts: Oregon Personal Injury Attorney

Experience

Trusted personal injury attorney.

Ryan has won many awards as an attorney
including the “Rising Star” award from Super Lawyers Magazine.

My name is Linda and my son in law recommended Ryan Hilts. I did not think I needed a lawyer. My son in law said "If you don't win you don't pay". That made a lot of sense to me. After calling Ryan I realized how comforting it is to have a lawyer. I was in a car accident. The driver was drunk and hit me and took off. A hit and run accident. Ryan told me by Oregon Law I was able to go to the doctors. I was able to get the much needed help. My Chiropractor was amazing. It took time to heal. Ryan was always available and always called me back, when I had any questions. He is a wonderful family man. A man of integrity. He also sent emails and texts to wish our family well on all the Holidays. He went above and beyond what was expected. My case was won without a doubt. I would definitely go back to Ryan for any lawyer needs. He is a good man and you can trust him. Thank you Ryan for everything, words are not enough to express all you did for us.

G. & L. S.

I was recommended to Mr. Hilts by a friend when I had my car accident. I was very impressed with his knowledge and the way he guided me through the process. I appreciated that he always returned my calls and kept me informed about the progress of my case.

K.J.

I could never say enough good things about Ryan. He was always there to take my calls and answer all of my questions. I really felt like he was working for me; like I was his top priority.

J.H.

Ryan is a terrific lawyer and a better person. He went above and beyond to reach a settlement in my case and believed in it when no one else did. He’s very intelligent and caring and is always putting the best interests of his clients before his own. Ryan knew more about my case than I even did. He is truly dedicated to his clients, and I can not explain how much I honestly appreciated that. I recommend that you give him a shot if you need to hire an attorney. He won’t let you down.

S.S.

It was our good fortune to have Ryan Hilts as our attorney. Ryan helped our children avoid a lawsuit and get a successful settlement. He taught us so much. He represented our family with integrity.

I specialize in Oregon injury cases. My main office is in Lake Oswego, but I travel throughout Oregon and Washington to take on certain cases. Typical cases I handle include:

Yes. I handle cases throughout Oregon, including Bend, Klamath Falls, Medford, Roseburg, Beaverton, Lake Oswego, Oregon City, Tigard, Tualatin, Wilsonville, Milwaukie, and even Pendleton. I also handle cases in Washington.

My fees are contingent on the outcome of your case. This means that I do not charge for my services until we successfully win your case. At that point my fees are a percentage of the amount we obtain from the other side. There is no charge to you in the unlikely event we are unable to recover.

Unlike many other attorneys, I do not ask my clients to pay their own legal costs associated with their case. I pay them out of my own pocket and recover them out of the settlement at the end of the case. In the rare event we are unable to recover at the end of your case, I do not require you to repay me for the costs I have advanced during your case.

You will receive my personal attention throughout your case.

The value of your personal injury claim is dependent on hundreds of factors. The most important are the extent of your injuries and the amount of your losses. If an attorney is not involved, insurance companies will gather your medical records and bills, and will put a “value” on your case based on the nature of your diagnoses and treatment in addition to the other economic losses you have suffered. Often these “values” do not take into consideration the extent of your “pain and suffering,” which are your personal losses (such as loss of your activities and your physical limitations). You will be given an offer by an insurance adjuster that is much lower than what they are willing to pay. Unfortunately, many people accept the “low ball” offer and are never fully compensated for their losses. An experienced injury attorney can help you recover what you have lost as a result of your injuries.

As a consequence of another party’s carelessness, intent to hurt, or strict liability, as a personal injury victim, you can file a claim for personal injury, which is also known as a tort. Oregon’s legal system permits victims of negligence to get financial compensation for their personal injuries. Depending on the circumstances, you can also pursue compensation in the form of a personal injury lawsuit. If you have suffered from personal injuries, a Portland Oregon personal injury lawyer can assist you in obtaining the compensation you are entitled to. People who have been injured by the carelessness of others are often afraid and overwhelmed.  With all of the pain, confusion, and medical treatments associated with a personal injury accident, it can be frightening and frustrating as you try to recover.  Ryan Hilts, personal injury lawyer in Portland metro area, has successfully handled hundreds of cases in his legal career and can help you with all of the legal and medical demands related to your personal injury case so that you can focus on getting better.  When we take your case, you will no longer have to talk to insurance adjusters, and we will help you obtain the wage loss benefits that you’re entitled to while you recover from your injuries. At Ryan Hilts, you only pay us if you get a settlement or verdict in your personal injury case. We do not charge our personal injury clients any upfront or do not impose any kind of retainer charges. What kind of personal injury lawsuits does Ryan Hilts represent? Ryan Hilts is an experienced personal injury attorney in Lake Oswego, and we can make all the difference in the world in personal injury matters.

A Personal Injury Lawsuit’s Essentials Those who experience suffering, anguish, or damage due to another person’s carelessness, intent to injure, or strict responsibility may bring a personal injury case, often known as a tort action. Financial compensation and responsibility are the two pillars of any personal injury claim. Compensation is awarded to a person (plaintiff) who can show the guilt of another party (defendant). The plaintiff must show the following to hold a party liable for the harm caused to a third party:

  • A legal or ethical need to behave responsibly was owed to one or more parties.
  • The party violated its obligation of care.
  • The plaintiff(s) were harmed as a result of the violation of duty.
  • As a consequence of the injury, the plaintiff suffered damages.

A plaintiff may get compensation for, but not limited to, the following:

  • Rehabilitative and therapeutic costs.
  • Lost earnings or wages.
  • Funeral or burial expenses.
  • Suffering and pain.
  • Emotional distress.

If you have suffered from injuries, financial compensation is always available for your injuries, whether they are physical or psychological and will depend on the facts of your case. A personal injury lawyer has to review the facts and devise a legal strategy that is crucial to the success of your personal injury claim and the amount of money you are entitled to as a result. Finding out how much your personal injury case is worth To determine the worth of your injury case, a Portland Oregon personal injury lawyer will take into account a variety of criteria. In general, the more damages a person suffers from the accident, the more money they are prepared to get. Your personal injury claim’s worth may be affected by these factors:

  • The seriousness of the damage.
  • Medical expenses, such as those for treatment, recovery, and therapy.
  • Lost earnings or wages.
  • Loss of revenue in the future.
  • Injury’s impact on everyday activities which is evident.
  • Suffering and pain.
  • Anxiety and depression.
  • An end to co-operation.
  • Funeral or burial expenses.
  • Injuries that are punishable by law (if the party intentionally inflicted those injuries).

The degree of the plaintiff’s injuries or damages suffered by them determines the value of a personal injury claim. Thus, a person who was severely injured in the accident and had brain damage is likely to be far more valuable than someone who was just slightly injured. At Ryan Hilts, we will take care of your case as soon as all the facts are known. As a team, we will work with you, and we will devise an effective method of strengthening your injury case and getting you the maximum compensation that you deserve. Your Personal Injury Case’s Possible Outcomes Personal injury cases can either be settled via a formal lawsuit or by informal negotiation. A judge may order a guilty party to pay the other party in formal litigation if the matter is wholly litigated. The parties involved in an informal settlement work together outside of the courtroom to negotiate a financial accord. Lawsuits When filing a personal injury lawsuit, your lawyer must adhere to the local court’s civil process. In some instances, this may entail filing a lawsuit against the at-fault person, as well as identifying responsibility, proving guilt, and bringing your case to the trial. The judges then evaluate whether the defendant is at fault and impose a lawful monetary obligation due to this determination. To resolve the case, a judge or jury may order that the plaintiff pay the defendant money. Ryan Hilts has handled hundreds of such cases, and we will fight for you to the maximum extent at the court and get you the rightful judgment that you deserve. Informal Settlement The vast majority of personal injury claims are resolved out of court before they ever reach a judge. Before or during a lawsuit, an informal settlement can be reached. Before a lawsuit is filed, the at-fault party compensates the other party in an informal settlement. Often, an attorney and the at-fault party, or an insurance company, work together to negotiate a reasonable settlement agreement. An informal settlement might be reached after a lawsuit has been filed but before the court has approved a settlement sum. Appraisers know that the defendant is willing to fight for compensation in these circumstances. Therefore, they usually try to achieve a reasonable settlement sum outside of court. When it comes to personal injury claims, a judge’s decision isn’t always necessary. We at Ryan Hilts, always use your past experience to use to negotiate a deserved compensation that our clients deserve when it comes to out of court settlements. Personal Representation When it comes to personal injury cases, we know that each case is unique, and so is the answer. We will put personal emphasis on the specific issues that you are facing and use our legal acumen to take the rightful steps for you. At Ryan Hilts, we are sure that we can handle your particular legal situation with competence and sensitivity. We offer a free initial consultation.  If we agree to take your case we will work on a contingency basis.  This means that we are only paid out of the monetary recovery we obtain for you, not on an hourly basis.  Typically the charge is 33% of the amount we obtain, plus any related expenses that we have paid on your behalf.  If we are unable to recover any money for you, your cost is nothing.
