Richard Potter operates our Eugene and Roseburg offices, including Coos Bay. He and his staff are very experienced in personal injury practice and litigation. If Rich can’t get a case settled, he will file it with the court and proceed to trial. Rich handles many types of cases, including auto accidents, motorcycle accidents, bicycle accidents, dog bites, spine injuries, shoulder and knee injuries, workplace injuries, wrongful death, injuries caused by drunk drivers, and much more. Given his vast experience, both in Oregon and Washington D.C., Rich forces most insurance companies to settle for top value. If he cannot get an insurance company to settle the case, Rich is not afraid to take the case to trial.
