David Linthorst

David Linthorst is an Oregon personal injury attorney who represents individuals and families harmed by negligence and reckless conduct. His practice focuses on serious injury, wrongful death, medical malpractice, elder abuse, dangerous products, and vehicle crashes. He works closely with clients to understand their experiences and present their stories effectively.

David earned a Bachelor of Arts from Brigham Young University in 2006. He later received a Juris Doctor from Northwestern University School of Law in 2010. His academic training combined analytical reasoning and legal writing skills that prepared him for complex civil litigation and client advocacy in injury cases today.

David began his professional life working as an ironworker before changing direction and entering the legal field. That experience shaped his practical outlook and work ethic when representing injured people facing difficult circumstances after serious accidents or harmful misconduct by others across Oregon communities and courts throughout the state today.

David represents clients in matters involving car crashes, bike crashes, catastrophic injuries, uninsured and underinsured motorist claims, and dangerous products. He also advocates for victims of medical malpractice, elder abuse, and wrongful death cases where families seek accountability and fair compensation after devastating losses and physical, emotional, and financial harm.

David builds strong relationships with clients so he can fully understand how an injury has affected their lives and families. He carefully prepares each case for negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or jury trial and explains options clearly so clients can make informed decisions about settlements or litigation when insurers refuse fairness.

David contributes to his community by coaching mock trial students at Crater High School, helping young advocates develop courtroom confidence and critical thinking skills. He values clear communication with clients and believes legal guidance should empower people to understand their rights, options, and responsibilities during complex injury disputes and recovery efforts.

David Linthorst continues to represent individuals and families throughout Oregon who have suffered serious injuries or the loss of a loved one because of negligence or reckless conduct. David focuses on clear guidance, careful preparation, and determined advocacy so clients can pursue justice and financial recovery after devastating events.
