OREGON INJURY ATTORNEY
Chloe is a second-generation lawyer who grew up on a cattle ranch in Crook County. After obtaining her undergraduate degree at the University of Oregon, Chloe was employed at two civil litigation firms in California before moving to Portland where she worked at a personal injury firm leading up to and during her time at Willamette University College of Law. There she had the opportunity to assist on a lawsuit in Eastern Oregon which resulted in a $26.5 million jury verdict.
Chloe has gained valuable experience working on a variety of catastrophic personal injury and wrongful death cases. Her current practice focuses on collisions involving pedestrians, bicyclists, motor vehicles, commercial trucks, trains, airplanes, helicopters, and boats as well as sexual assault, products liability, premises liability, and dog bites. To further hone her skills, Chloe continues to be involved in a variety of professional activities – she is currently a board member of the Oregon Trial Lawyers Association and a recent graduate of the Bill Barton Litigation Bootcamp.
Outside of work, Chloe enjoys world travel (she has been to 32 countries), hiking, riding horses, drinking craft beer, and floating the river. She especially loves spending time with her friends and family, in particular her husband and son.

Verdicts / Settlements (Case Results)
- Our client was hurt in a serious truck crash in Oregon when a commercial truck crossed the center line. The injury case resolved for the full $1,000,000 available under the trucking company’s policy, and a later insurance dispute ended in a confidential settlement., 2024
- Our client was injured in a head-on crash in Sunriver when another driver crossed into her lane while turning left. After the insurer resisted paying fair value and the case moved into litigation and mediation, the matter resolved for the full $250,000 available under the driver’s liability policy., 2025
- Our client — an older, legally blind Central Oregon resident — was seriously hurt after walking into a vehicle that was parked in a way that blocked part of a sidewalk. After the insurers disputed responsibility and raised comparative fault, the pedestrian injury claim ultimately resolved for a total of $275,000., 2024
- Our client was a front-seat passenger in a Central Oregon vehicle that was violently rear-ended by an intoxicated driver. The at-fault insurance was limited, so the auto-accident claim turned into a disputed underinsured motorist (UIM) case with our client’s own insurance company who refused to acknowledge the extent of our client’s injuries. The matter ultimately resolved for a total of $400,000 — $25,000 from the at-fault driver’s insurer and $375,000 from the UIM carrier. , 2025
- Our client was seriously injured when a vehicle lost control on icy Central Oregon roads and collided with a passenger bus. The case ultimately resolved as an underinsured motorist (UIM) claim for the full $500,000 available under the policy., 2025
- A Central Oregon tenant fell from an outdoor sidewalk at her apartment complex while parts of the property were still under construction. The wrongful death case resolved at mediation for a single, global payment that resolved the claims against all defendants. Because the settlement agreement includes a confidentiality provision about publishing the settlement amount, that is not provided here., 2025
- A 10-year-old child was seriously injured when a truck pulling a trailer veered off the roadway at a campground and crushed him against a parked vehicle. The case ultimately resolved for policy limits from every available policy, including recovery under the family’s underinsured motorist coverage after the available liability insurance was not enough., 2025
- A Central Oregon elementary school student was sexually assaulted during repeated incidents that occurred during recess over a period of months, including an incident that was ultimately witnessed by a school monitor. The case resolved through pre‑litigation mediation and negotiation for a $700,000 settlement, subject to court approval and protected handling of records., 2025
- Our client was hit by a commercial truck during an illegal passing maneuver on an Oregon highway while he was making a left turn. The trucking claim resolved just before trial for $800,000 from the defendants, plus $100,000 in underinsured motorist (UIM) benefits., 2026
