How Can We Help?

Select your situation. Every case is different — but every client gets the same thing: David Wallace fighting for every dollar you're owed.

Most Common Case

Car Accidents

Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize your payout from the first phone call. They’ll steer your treatment, discourage diagnostic testing, and make you feel like a low settlement is fair. It isn’t. David Wallace knows their playbook — and counters it at every step. From whiplash and soft tissue injuries to catastrophic collisions, we fight to recover the full value of what you’ve lost: medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term care.

Car Accident Cases
Millions Recovered

Wrongful Death

Losing someone because of another person’s negligence is devastating — and you shouldn’t have to navigate the legal system alone while grieving. David Wallace has recovered millions for Oregon families in wrongful death cases, holding at-fault parties and insurance companies fully accountable. We handle everything so your family can focus on healing, while we fight for the justice your loved one deserves.

Wrongful Death Cases
98% Success Rate

Premises Liability / Slip & Fall

Property owners have a legal duty to keep their premises safe. When they fail — and you pay the price with an injury — that’s not an accident, it’s negligence. Slip and fall cases, unsafe conditions, poor lighting, negligent security: David has successfully litigated these cases for decades. Whether it happened at a grocery store, apartment building, or a snowy parking lot, we hold the responsible party accountable.

Premises Liability Cases
Protective Orders

Stalking Orders & Restraining Orders

When your safety is at risk, the legal process needs to move fast. David Wallace helps Oregon residents obtain stalking orders and restraining orders quickly and correctly — and can also assist those who’ve been wrongly served with one. We handle emergency filings, hearings, and follow-through so you’re protected under Oregon law.

The Insurance Trap

The Mistake That Costs Oregon Injury Victims Thousands

After an accident, the insurance company will call you quickly — sometimes within hours. They'll sound helpful. They'll offer to coordinate your treatment. They might even seem like they're on your side.

They're not.

Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize what they pay out. They'll steer you toward conservative treatment options and away from thorough diagnostic testing. They'll discourage you from getting an MRI — the gold standard for detecting the kind of deep tissue and soft-tissue injuries that don't show up on X-rays. And if you accept their early settlement offer before you fully understand the extent of your injuries, you may be signing away your right to future compensation permanently.

This is the insurance trap. And most injury victims don't know they're in it until it's too late.

David Wallace knows exactly how this works — and he knows how to stop it. From the moment you retain him, he takes over all communication with the insurance company, connects you with the right accident care providers, and makes sure your injuries are documented properly so your case reflects what you actually suffered — not the lowball version the adjuster is hoping you'll accept.

The MRI is the gold standard. Without it, you may never know the true extent of your injuries — and neither will a jury.

About David Wallace

David Wallace isn't the kind of lawyer who grew up watching courtroom dramas and decided the law sounded interesting. He grew up knowing what it feels like to be on the wrong side of a powerful system — and that experience shapes every case he takes. He's argued before the Oregon Supreme Court, reversed 50 years of legal precedent, and secured over $10 million in recoveries for injured Oregonians. When you hire David, you're not getting a firm — you're getting him, personally, fighting for you.

Real Clients. Real Results.

What Oregon Clients Say

Google Review
After my car accident, the insurance company pressured me to settle for almost nothing. David refused to back down. He got me more than ten times their initial offer and treated me like a person, not a case file.

Marcus T.

Portland, OR

Google Review
I lost my husband to a drunk driver. David was the first lawyer who actually listened. He fought for our family for two years and recovered more than we ever expected. He responds to texts within minutes — even on weekends.

Sarah K.

Beaverton, OR

Google Review
I slipped at a grocery store and the corporate insurance company tried to blame me. David proved they had ignored multiple complaints about the same hazard. He took the case all the way and won.

James R.

Salem, OR

Google Review
I called three other lawyers before David. He was the only one who picked up himself, no receptionist. He explained everything in plain English and never made me feel stupid for asking questions.

Linda M.

Eugene, OR

Google Review
David fronted forty thousand dollars in expert costs to take my case to trial when other firms told me to settle for pennies. He won, and I got my life back. He's the real deal.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

A pre-existing condition doesn’t disqualify your case — it may actually increase your damages. Oregon follows the “eggshell plaintiff doctrine,” which means the at-fault party must take you as they find you. If a previous injury was made significantly worse by the accident, that worsening is compensable. The defense will try to use your medical history against you — David knows how to counter it.

Personal injury lawyers work on contingency — meaning you pay nothing unless we win. But that fee isn’t just for showing up to court. David personally fronts expert witness costs, which can run $40,000 or more on cases that go to trial. He takes on all the financial risk so you don’t have to. The 33% reflects real investment in your case — not just legal time.

No. David meets with clients by phone or Zoom. Oregon law allows him to represent clients throughout the entire state without requiring you to travel to Portland. If you’re in Salem, Eugene, Bend, Medford, or anywhere else in Oregon — he can take your case.

If you haven’t signed anything, it’s not too late. Early settlement offers from insurance companies are almost always designed to close your claim before the full extent of your injuries is known. Don’t sign — call David first. A free consultation costs you nothing and could be the difference between thousands and tens of thousands of dollars.

The sooner the better. Oregon’s statute of limitations for personal injury cases is generally two years from the date of injury — but evidence degrades, witnesses forget details, and insurance companies move fast. The earlier David gets involved, the stronger your case. If you’ve recently been in an accident, don’t wait.

David handles the full range of personal injury cases: car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, slip and fall / premises liability, wrongful death, and injuries involving soft tissue damage, traumatic brain injury, spinal injuries, and chronic pain. If you’re unsure whether your situation qualifies, the consultation is free — just ask.
