At Leahy Cox, LLP, we have been steadfast advocates for our neighbors in Springfield – and throughout Oregon – for 75 years. When it comes to seeking justice for injury victims, our commitment is unwavering. Leading our personal injury practice is attorney Ryan Baker, who brings to the table an extensive background in litigation, honed through years as a prosecutor. With his experience, you can rest assured that your case is in capable hands.
Our personal injury practice focuses on the following:
- Motor vehicle accidents: We guide clients through the aftermath of collisions and down the road to compensation.
- Premises liability: We strive to hold landowners accountable when people suffer injuries on their property.

At Leahy Cox, LLP, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Our team delivers tailored solutions to meet the specific needs of your case.
Settlement Vs. Litigation In Personal Injury Cases
While settling out of court is common in personal injury cases, it is not your only option, nor is it necessarily your best one. We are not shy about taking a case to trial if doing so is the best way to protect your interests. Our litigation experience empowers us to advocate fiercely for you in court.
We understand the complexities of trials and know that they can be time-consuming and costly. Yet we also know that going to trial is often worthwhile because negotiating with insurance companies can prove fruitless. We are prepared to fight for you tooth and nail in the courtroom to ensure you do not become another settlement statistic.
How An Attorney Can Add Value To Your Case
The value a personal injury attorney brings to your case cannot be overstated. Without legal guidance, you might find yourself at a disadvantage when negotiating with insurance adjusters. We help you level the playing field by:
- Collecting and preserving evidence: We ensure no stone is left unturned.
- Evaluating all evidence and determining liability: We thoroughly analyze every last detail of every injury case we work on to ensure the proper parties are held accountable.
- Putting our experience to work: We bring our A-game, whether at the negotiation table or in the courtroom.
As attorneys, we can also help you navigate other post-accident complexities, including dealing with insurance companies, managing uncertainty and connecting you with the medical care you need.
In-Depth Answers To Your Personal Injury Questions
We know that injury victims have been through a lot, and we understand that serious injuries bring serious questions. At Leahy Cox, LLP, we are here to provide the answers you need to navigate this challenging time.
What is defined as a personal injury?
A personal injury is considered any injury, whether physical or mental, caused by someone else’s negligence or carelessness, whether willful or not. Some examples of personal injuries include:
- Burns
- Fractures
- Lacerations
- Nerve damage
- Post-traumatic stress disorder
- Spinal cord injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries
Where can I file a personal injury claim?
Filing a personal injury claim can be done independently through the appropriate insurance company. However, to truly ensure your rights are protected, it is wise to work with a knowledgeable attorney. They will be able to help you gather thorough evidence to support your injury and will know how to protect you if you have been wronged by an insurance company.
When should I sue after suffering an injury?
Before you consider filing a personal injury lawsuit, you will – with the guidance of an attorney – likely go through settlement negotiations with the insurance company. Filing a lawsuit is appropriate when it becomes clear that settlement discussions have stalled or the insurance company is not offering a fair settlement that covers your losses and meets your needs.
