# Vames Wang Sosa Hood

> Vames Wang Sosa Hood (VWSH) is a veteran-owned personal injury law firm serving Oregon and Washington, with offices in Hillsboro and Gresham, Oregon. Several of the firm's attorneys are former insurance defense lawyers who now represent injured people, so they know how insurers evaluate, delay, and defend claims. Free consultation. No fee unless the firm wins. Phone: (503) 669-3426.

## About

- The firm handles serious personal injury and wrongful death matters: car and truck crashes, motorcycle and bicycle crashes, pedestrian injuries, medical malpractice, surgical and birth injuries, premises liability, and insurance disputes.
- Former insurance defense background: Drake Hood, Eric Waxler, and Paul Vames previously defended insurance companies. That experience informs how the firm builds cases against insurers. Not every attorney at the firm came from the defense side.
- Jurisdictions: Oregon (personal injury statute of limitations is 2 years, ORS 12.110; modified comparative fault) and Washington (statute of limitations is 3 years, RCW 4.16.080; pure comparative fault). Confirm deadlines with an attorney; exceptions apply.
- Languages: staff can assist clients in English, Spanish, and Mandarin.
