Who We Are
For many personal injury law firms, a client's case is just another file on the proverbial shelf. At the Law Offices of Miller & Wagner, we know that to our clients and their families, theirs is the only case that matters and that proper legal representation means everything. With offices in Eugene and Portland , we represent injured individuals and families in state and federal courts throughout Oregon. Personal injuries and deaths not only cause physical pain and suffering, but also emotional and financial disaster through loss of work, medical bills, and stress placed upon injured individuals and families. Whether caused by medical malpractice, a defective product, or other negligent, careless, or reckless conduct, injuries alter lives forever. Our goals are simple: to protect the rights of victims, punish and deter wrongdoers who have hurt families, and otherwise level the playing field with the vast resources of corporate America and its insurance companies.
Medical Malpractice and Personal Injury Practice Areas
The Law Offices of Miller & Wagner specialize in:
Our clients include those severely injured in automobile accidents, motorcycle or trucking accidents, or pedestrians who are injured by motor vehicles. Many of our cases involve serious injury caused by defective products such as tires, explosive materials, firearms, and motor vehicles. Negligent medical providers including doctors, hospitals, nurses and chiropractors are held accountable for causing serious and permanent injury or death to our clients and their families.
Our Firm Is Staffed By Former Insurance Defense Lawyers
All of the attorneys at the Law Offices of Miller & Wagner have worked at law firms specializing in insurance defense and medical malpractice defense. While so employed, our lawyers handled a diverse docket consisting primarily of medical malpractice, product liability, insurance coverage, and general insurance defense litigation. We have represented manufacturers and retailers on product liability cases either directly or through appointment by recognized insurance carriers. We have handled medical malpractice litigation involving doctors, dentists, nurses, hospitals, and clinics, and product liability litigation involving heavy machinery, cosmetics, contamination and/or toxic exposure from paint and paint-based products, motorcycles, household products, and other products. We have represented insurance carriers in declaratory judgment actions, coverage disputes, and the negotiating of complex cost sharing agreements in mass tort litigation.
We Understand Insurance Law
After years of handling cases from the defense side, our firm had an epiphany of sorts a few years ago, realizing that our legal abilities, talents, and experiences were unwisely being spent on preserving the resources of corporate America and its insurance companies. At that point in time, we decided to change our direction and went from preserving profits and premiums to helping real people and families in Oregon with real problems caused by an injury or death.
Clients sometimes wonder why we like to point out our insurance defense experience. Here's why. Our seasoned lawyers honed their trial skills and understanding of what it takes to defend complicated medical malpractice, products liability, personal injury, and wrongful death cases through decades of practice on the defense side. During our tenure as insurance defense attorneys, we compiled an impressive track record of success defending such cases. We have taken that knowledge and experience and used it to our advantage when representing injured plaintiffs and families in Oregon. Because of our experience as insurance defense attorneys, we understand how insurance companies work and are well skilled in the litigation of all aspects of personal injury and wrongful death claims. While our focus may have changed, our commitment to the highest standards of professionalism and integrity has not. We still approach each case with respect for the other side, and have maintained good relationships with our former insurance defense colleagues. This has led to better results for our clients, as insurance companies and defense lawyers know our firm as well as our reputation for hard work, diligent preparation, and success at trial.
We Stress Service In Our Personal Injury Practice
While our firm has compiled an outstanding track record of success in state and federal courts throughout Oregon, we recognize that the most aggressive, expensive, and time-consuming litigation strategy may not always be the best solution for every client and his or her family. In every situation, therefore, we seek to identify the primary objective of our clients, design a solution to fit that objective, and implement that solution in the most effective manner possible. Our clients have come to expect the highest quality legal services, attention to detail, and results, all at a fair and reasonable cost. What sets us apart from other law firms is that we provide clients with the best of both worlds: big firm ability and experience along with small firm creativity, care, and commitment. We have articulated our practice philosophy as follows:
- Our goal is to provide the best-personalized legal services to our clients. Most of the contacts with our office will be with the attorney handling your claim, not a secretary or paralegal who is not licensed to practice law. Your claim will be settled for money damages that are acceptable to you or your case will be tried to a judge or jury by one of our experienced trial lawyers.
- Our attorney fees are contingent upon recovering money for you. In other words, you do not pay us for our services until or unless we recover money for you. We are paid a percentage of the money that is recovered.
- We look forward to the opportunity to represent you. Please contact our office by telephone, fax or e-mail. Please answer the questions in our contact page so that we may better familiarize ourselves with your case before your in-person appointment.

Portland will likely find themselves greeted by Gen (Miller)
and Mochi (Wagner), the firm's "office dogs". Like their "parents,"
they are very different, as this picture demonstrates, but also
like their "parents" as they are best of friends and help to create
the comfortable and relaxed environment at Miller and Wagner.
