Pickett Dummigan Weingart LLP 210 Southwest Morrison Street, Portland, OR 97204

"I had the misfortune of being rear ended and flipped over into the ditch in a MVA in the summer of 2021. My Toyota was totally crushed on every angle -top, sides, back, front, underneath from 3 high speed impacts from being rear ended, being spun and crashing again backwards onto Big boulders in the ditch, making second impact cause the car to fly up in the air and flip upside down for a third crash onto more big boulders in the ditch. It was a miracle to regain consciousness and slowly crawl out of the wreck and have TBI level 2 concussion and whip lash soft tissue trauma to my neck and spine. The crash was caught on the security cameras of the nursery that I was going to so the video showed the time of when I was rear ended by an elderly person going at speeding velocity and the minute and a half before I started to regain consciousness and help was arriving to assist me out of the vehicle. I am so lucky that I didn’t die of a brain bleed or smashed internal organs. Brain bruising, swelling, sensitivity to light and sound, and need to rest for months to let the brain slowly heal is an ordeal to get through. Premature jostling of a bruised concussed brain can lead to long term damage like early onset Alzheimer’s. Soft tissue trauma to the spine from being whipped around with three high speed crash impacts was challenging to slowly and gradually recover from. A friend referred me to Kimberly Weingart and I am grateful for her legal support negotiating with the insurance companies to obtain a decent settlement compensation for my losses and injuries. I could focus on the big job of healing when I could trust her skillfulness in negotiating for me. She was excellent in compassionate listening, attention to detail, communication with me to work together on strategy for important choices and positive diplomatic focus for most favorable outcomes. Ethics of personal integrity are so important in sticking up for oneself for the hard work of recovering from traumatic injury and loss. Insurance companies are like sharks to try to weasel out of fair compensation for a person’s medical trauma. Kim was great with being diplomatic and tough, fighting for me and keeping my recovery and wellbeing as number one priority. I highly recommend her. I turned 65 during this so Kim also did a great job navigating red tape in advocating for me and negotiating with Medicare and Medicaid about both my rights and their rights in regards to medical compensation for accidents."

"A family member referred me to Kim Weingart and she was able to take my case with very little notice. I found the firm and Kim kind, professional, and efficient. This was nothing like the corporate, impersonal lawyering I’ve received from personal injury attorneys in my past."

"I cannot say enough positive things about the exceptional advocacy Kimberly Weingart provided following an accident last year. Her combination of empathy and skill showed me her human understanding of my circumstances while maximizing the outcome on my behalf. There are many choices for attorneys in this area of law, but few can strike the balance of compassion and tenacity that Ms. Weingart achieves."

"Deena and Brendan were excellent! They were professional and I felt comfortable enough to explain my situation. Throughout this experience Deena kept in close contact guiding me through the process and helping answer my questions in a timely manner. I felt genuinely cared about. Thank you guys for all your hard work!"
