Statewide Representation
Oregon Service Areas
Huegli Law represents medical malpractice, wrongful death, and serious personal injury clients statewide throughout Oregon. The firm is based in Lake Oswego and handles cases across the Portland metro, the Willamette Valley, Central Oregon, Southern Oregon, and Eastern Oregon — 24 city-specific service areas are listed below with their local hospitals, county courthouses, and the venue and Tort Claims Act considerations specific to each. Todd Huegli has tried more than 50 complex cases to verdict and has been selected to Oregon Super Lawyers every year from 2022 through 2026.
Oregon’s healthcare and civil-litigation landscape changes sharply from one region to the next. Hospital networks consolidate differently in each metro, the counties hosting the negligent care set the venue and the jury pool, and the Oregon Tort Claims Act analysis depends on which providers are public-corporation employees versus private-practice contractors. The city pages below cover those local considerations for the 24communities where Huegli Law most often takes cases.
Statewide coverage means cases from the Oregon Coast, the Columbia Gorge, the Klamath Basin, and the Eastern Oregon communities not listed above (including La Grande and Baker City) are welcome even though they don’t have a dedicated city page. Initial consultations are conducted by phone or video so distance is rarely a barrier, and Todd Huegli travels for depositions, expert site visits, and trial wherever the case sits. Records and expert engagement run on the same playbook regardless of venue — what changes is the local courthouse, the local defense bar, and the local jury, and those get analyzed case-by-case during the free consultation.
Portland Metro
The four-county Portland metropolitan area — Multnomah, Washington, Clackamas, and the south-county fringe — concentrates the most hospitals, specialty practices, and complex medical care in Oregon. Most med mal cases in the state originate here.

What “Service Area” Means in Practice
The Oregon medical-malpractice and personal-injury legal framework is statewide — the same statutes of limitations under ORS 12.110, the same Oregon Tort Claims Act notice requirements under ORS 30.275, the same physician standard of care under ORS 677.095, and the same wrongful-death cause of action under ORS 30.020. What changes city to city is the local healthcare landscape — which hospitals serve the community, which corporate systems employ the providers, which county courthouse hears the case, and what the local jury pool looks like. The city pages above cover those local considerations in detail.
If your case arose in an Oregon city that doesn't have a dedicated page above, the firm still handles it. Cases from smaller counties, the coast, and Eastern Oregon are routinely developed from the same record-acquisition and expert-engagement framework, with venue and OTCA analysis adapted to the specific facility and county involved. Contact us to discuss your case regardless of where in Oregon the negligent care occurred.
