One moment you are going about your day; the next, everything changes. A crash, a fall, or a careless mistake by someone else, and suddenly you are dealing with pain, missed work, and bills that will not wait. If that is where you are right now, take a breath. You do not have to sort this out alone.
At Youd Law, you work directly with attorney Lance D. Youd, a personal injury lawyer in Salem, Oregon, who has spent more than 32 years standing up for injured Oregonians. Lance handles your case personally; you are never handed off to someone you have never met.
Call for advice at 503.694.4449. It is always free to ask Lance.
No two accidents are the same, and neither are the injuries that follow. As your personal injury attorney in Salem, Lance takes on a wide range of cases, including:
If you were hurt on the road, a car accident lawyer in Salem, Oregon, who understands how insurance companies operate can make a real difference in what you recover. Not sure where your situation fits? Start with our personal injury overview; we will listen and tell you honestly where you stand and what your options are. We will always tell you to focus on healing; all of the other complicated details and work on managing your case are what the Youd team will take care of.
When you’ve been injured in an accident, Attorney Lance D. Youd is the experienced personal injury lawyer to trust as your legal advocate on your case. Youd Law is committed to helping our clients receive maximum compensation for their injuries while minimizing their stress.
Our clients deserve compensation and Lance Youd makes sure insurance companies pay every dollar they owe and get money into the client’s hands as soon as possible.
Lance D. Youd is an experienced, solutions-focused Salem car accident attorney. With a commitment to personalized representation, our firm works tirelessly to help victims and families get justice, accountability, and the maximum settlement or verdict. If you or a family member has been injured in an auto accident or car accident in Salem, Oregon, we are here to help.
Filing a claim can feel like one more thing you do not have the energy for, especially while you are hurting. That is the part we take off your plate. Once you reach out, Lance reviews what happened, explains your options in plain language, and tells you honestly whether you have a case. From there, our team does the legwork: gathering evidence, collecting your medical records, working with the right experts, and dealing directly with the insurance adjusters so you do not have to.
You focus on healing; we focus on your recovery. You also stay in the loop the whole way through. We keep you updated at every step, and you can always pick up the phone and talk to Lance, not a stranger.
One thing worth knowing early: in Oregon, you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury claim, so it helps not to wait too long to learn where you stand (ORS 12.110; Oregon Legislature, oregonlegislature.gov). Even if you are not sure you want to move forward, a free case review costs you nothing and gives you answers.
You should not have to fight an insurance company while you are trying to heal; let Lance carry that weight for you. When you sit down with Lance for your free case review, he will listen to your accident story, walk you through your rights in plain language, and point out the full range of damages you may be entitled to recover, including the ones most people never realize are on the table. Our experience and legal knowledge come with real benefits we do not want you to miss out on, and Lance will take the time to explain exactly why having the Youd Law team in your corner is worth it.
Reach out for a free case review: no cost, no pressure, and no obligation. If you cannot come to us, we will come to you.
Call 503.694.4449 or request your free case review today. It is free to ask Lance, and the right advice at the right moment can change the outcome of your case.

The best decision I made was talking with Lance Youd!!!!! I was injured a car wreck that wasn't my fault. After some contact with the insurance company, I decided to contact Lance Youd. He had great reviews!!!!! He called me back in short order and he listened and understood that I had some injuries that would be with me for life. He also knew how hard it would be for me to stand up for myself. So I put my faith in this man!!!!!!!! Well put it was!!!!! He really does know what he's doing!!!!! And he really does care about the person he is representing!!!! His staff does too!!!!! I can't recommend Lance Youd enough!!!! He and his staff are amazing!!!!!![]()

Lance Youd and his team are truly amazing…100%!!! Everyone listens, is hard-working, attentive, and clearly there to help the client in the legal process. Lance was great from the first meeting all the way through the settlement. Truthful, great guidance, great communication and follow-through, professional, polite, and someone I have no reservations recommending to others who have been in a vehicle accident. Guided me wonderfully every step of the way and I would not change anything about the process (except for the accident never happening in the first place). Thank you for everything, Lance …. I absolutely appreciate you and your team!!!![]()
