Underdog Law Office is an Oregon wrongful death law firm. We have the unfortunate job of helping families get justice after the loss of a loved one.

We offer free wrongful death case evaluations for potential clients. We accept wrongful death cases on contingency, meaning clients pay no money upfront.
A death is considered ‘wrongful’ if it’s caused by negligence, carelessness, or intentional harm by another party. It can unfortunately happen in any place, and typically covers the following:
Wrongful death is an extremely traumatic experience to go through, and insurance companies often make things worse for families who should be taking the time to grieve. Oftentimes, these companies will pressure the families of victims to a settlement or sign a contract – which is always in their favor. In these cases, families lose out on compensation and/or waive their legal rights. Our team at Underdog Law Office knows how insurance companies work and how they handle claims. If you have been affected by a wrongful death of a loved one, call us right away. We’ll review all documents and evidence to see how much you’re entitled to. And we’ll get the maximum recovery for you.
‘Damages’ refer to claimed losses in a case. And with wrongful deaths in Oregon, damages are meant to compensate families for financial losses – such as medical bills, funeral expenses, and lost wages. Noneconomic damages are also considered in court, including mental suffering, emotional distress, and tarnished reputation. Also in wrongful death cases, punitive damages may be awarded – meaning the wrongdoer can be punished for their actions with legal damages.
