This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Great Attorney!

My family was in a car accident last Summer. My husband, my son, and I were injured. Nothing major that required hospitalization or surgery, but enough to cause significant pain. Because the damage to our vehicle was minor,we had a hard time finding an attorney to help. We were hit by an uninsur...ed motorist, and Oregon's PIP laws were difficult for us to manage. He took our seemingly small case, and allowed us to get the treatment we needed. I will forever be grateful for the time he took for us, and how successful he was in settling despite insurance issues.

Totaled car in accident...needed a whole new shoulder!

Eric & staff spent the necessary time explaining my options, these law suits take time & money. If I hadn't had them working on my behalf, I'd have never understood how complicated a process it is for a laymen. They filed all the paper work, they handled everything timely & educated me along the ...way. Eric spent the firms money on operating costs. I kept a log of all my out of pocket expenses & tallied all medical costs which, thanks to Eric & his staff, was reimbursed when we 'settled'. Eric Tait is a family man who values his clients. He listens, reacts with expert knowledge in his field of expertise. More importantly, I trust him to be fair. My outcome was as good as we could have hoped for. Personal injuries from an accident are emotional, painful, & never have a simple recovery or solution. My only regret is that I didn't see him sooner! Considering trying to go through the process alone would have been an absolute impossibility, especially with the 'other' insurance company calling & wanting you to 'settle' ; even before a proper diagnosis from an orthopedic specialist. Beware injured one, don't fall into the snare of the 'other' insurance company, they are a wolf in disguise! My injury was complex. My shoulder was severely injured. It took three opinions before I found the surgeon who could help me, (who only worked on shoulders.). There is a time-line from the date of your injury... So DON'T WAIT to have a specialist like Eric Tait help you with your health issues and your quality of life. He was amazing to work with, once we established his role, I then understood Mine. Knowledge is power & knowing how the system of personal injury works was a blessing to me. There were many times during my recovery that had I not understood the process, I would have not gotten the proper care I deserved. Good luck* to you.
