Criminal Law

• Wrongful Death
  If you are facing the most tragic situation a person or family can face – the wrongful death of a loved one because of negligence or irresponsibility – the grief is difficult to endure. Your loved one died needlessly; another person or entity is responsible. When you are dealing with a misfortune of this magnitude, it may be difficult to think; taking legal action is the last thing on your mind. In a case like this, however, it is important to know that you may be facing considerable financial and life burdens because of this death; your family may be without the primary breadwinner, your children may be without their mother. Your loved one can never be brought back, but the responsible party should be held morally, legally, and financially responsible; your future is at stake. At Shlesinger & deVillenueve, we are dedicated to your welfare and committed to helping you through this traumatic time; we will make sure you receive the respect and compensation you deserve!

• Workers Compensation
  If you have been injured on the job, or suspect that something at your workplace is making you sick, it is vital that you file your workers compensation claim as soon as possible; there are time limits for filing for on-the-job injury claims! If you are denied, you must file an appeal within 60 days, or lose your benefits entirely! Filing a “workers’ comp” claim can be extremely difficult to navigate; it is far better to hire an experienced compensation attorney as soon as possible – especially in Oregon!

Property Law

• Premises Liability
  When an accident occurs on a property as a result of negligence on the part of the property’s owner, this falls under the category of Premises Liability law. Premises Liability law holds property owners, managers, or other third parties responsible for any kind of accident that occurs on a property they own or are responsible for, whether public or private. These are the accidents that happen when you least expect them; you may be visiting a friend, shopping, or just walking to your car in the parking lot. Accidents happen everyday, but when the accident happens because an owner failed to keep his or her property safe, then it may be cause for a premises liability claim. There are countless situations where a premises liability accident can occur, some examples include...

• Medical Malpractice
  There are two types of medical malpractice suits, and while they are very different in nature, they may have equally disastrous results. An injury may result from a medical procedure that was clearly wrong or obviously negligent, such as operating on the wrong limb or body part. Then there is the situation where a physician fails to do something that would be considered appropriate in terms of a patient’s medical care, such as failing to diagnose a condition.
