CAR ACCIDENT ATTORNEYS
Bounce Back from a Car Accident in Oregon
When you get into a car accident in Oregon, you could experience some significant physical and psychological trauma.
Issues such as TBI, spinal cord and back injuries, broken bones, internal injuries, burns, and disfigurement are all too common. Beyond serious physical injuries, the horrible experience can also leave you with PTSD, anxiety, and emotional trauma that requires professional medical help to overcome.
Getting the support and healing you need comes with some significant price tags. In Oregon, it’s common to incur expenses that add up to tens of thousands or even more than $100,000.
You shouldn’t have to pay for that alone. Our experienced car accident attorneys can help you get the compensation you deserve in a personal injury lawsuit.

Travis and his team went above and beyond when handling my case. They made navigating an overwhelming situation I was unfamiliar with as simple as possible for me.

I had a bad ankle accident where I broke three bones in it that was not my fault. Travis Prestwich and his excellent team supported me in getting a settlement that was much larger than I expected. Since I had never been in this situation before, they did an excellent job of walking me through the entire process. I recommend their services highly!

Mr. Brian Lathen, my attorney, is a very knowledgeable and professional. His assistant, Allie Clanfield,, is a very kind and caring person. When I was feeling depressed from my car accident, Allie gave me emotional support. They were always responsive to my questions and made sure to update on the case. If you ever need a personal injury attorney, I highly recommend Brian and Allie. They are a trustworthy and effective team.

I was involved in an accident, and was having difficulties dealing with my insurance company.
One of my neighbors recommended me to Brian Lathen, after a very prompt meeting I retained his services.
Durring a long and tiring process, the staff at Swanson Lathen and Prestwich made me feel so much more comfortable, and helped greatly in getting through it.
Along with now having a trusted lawyer/allie to call if anything unexpectedly happens in the future. I feel like I had made a friend.
Thank you.

Swanson Lathen Prestwich is a Godsend!
I was in a terrible car crash, literally caused by another person who admitted fault to the police, to their own insurance, to my insurance and I STILL had to fight for fair compensation. Realizing I needed to get a lawyer involved, an acquaintance recommended Travis Prestwich.
After meeting Mr. Prestwich, I was immediately at ease. He was very knowledgeable, kind, welcoming and realistic. I appreciated that he actually listened to me and provided information that helped me get into the right mind frame. Travis was very patient and kind and responded to questions rather quickly. I appreciated his realistic approach and learned quickly that other lawyers, judges and community members, highly respect him; which was a huge sign that he was the right person for my situation!
His staff, Carrie Meeker and Jennifer Hiser were equally phenomenal during the process! They were also very kind, empathetic, knowledgeable and responded to inquires in a timely manner and were just wonderful to work with. As odd as this sounds, I really enjoyed talking with them and knew that once my case with over with that I would miss all three of them.
When the time came, and I had to go through a settlement hearing, Travis was by my side the whole way through. The unknown always frightens me but he found a way to keep me at ease with his calm demeanor. This review doesn’t even do this trio justice! They are wonderful people and did a phenomenal job on my case.
I pray I never have to go through this process again however if I do, Travis will be the very first person I call. I HIGHLY recommend Swanson Lathen Prestwich and Travis Prestwich, Carrie Meeker and Jennifer Hiser!! I wish there were more people out there like them! I give them an A+++
