Who is Liable in a Portland College Campus Injury Case?
To determine which parties can be held liable in a campus injury case requires a full investigation into the facts in the case. Some cases of injury are related to security failures, whether broken locks, gates, lack of sufficient security personnel or similar issue. If the injuries are the result of a vehicle accident on campus, a negligent driver may be liable. We offer a free case consultation to review the facts and advise you how to move forward with legal action.
Why Hire a Portland College Campus Injury Lawyer?
To successfully file a claim or lawsuit against a college or other liable party, you need professional legal counsel. These cases can be complex to resolve and are often heavily contested and very expensive. Colleges are large institutions with vast resources and will have their own investigators and attorneys working on the case right from the beginning. You should too. Our attorneys are dedicated to the pursuit of justice and will begin investigating the facts as soon as we take your case.
