Testimonials
Cancer Diagnosis Hit Our Family Hard
"My cancer diagnosis hit our family hard. Finding out that I was misdiagned made matters worse. Contacting Porter Law Group was my saving grace. From the start, Mike was at my side reassuring me that he would be there for support and guidance. I felt like family. The firm worked hard for my case and was very successful without going to court. I wouldn't have wanted any other team on my side besides Porter Law! Very professional, friendly and very highly regarded in the legal community. Top notch group." - Chriss S.
Excellent Lawyer
"I am extremely fortunate that Porter Law Group took my case after suffering a traumatic brain injury following a serious car accident. For over three years of medical rehabilitation and legal proceedings I worked with the lawyers and staff at the firm. They are a truly solid, forthright, and professional team. In the end, my case progressed to an eight-day civil trial. During the lead-up and long days of the trial itself, I saw firsthand what an outstanding lawyer and person Eric Nordby is. He brought an adept and thorough analytical mind, a principled work ethic, and personal dedication to my case. Eric is a highly skilled negotiator who operates calmly while under pressure. My family and I are privileged to have benefited from Eric’s expertise throughout our experience with the firm, which led to over a million dollars in financial compensation. I cannot recommend him more highly." - Matt H.
Professionalism Exemplified
"Michael represented our family in a medical malpractice suit. From the first consultation to the ultimate award, Michael and his firm handled the case with compassion, understanding and professionalism. He won the case and we were very satisfied with the award. I would unequivocally recommend Michael Porter as a medical malpractice attorney." - Mary G.

Economic Damages

These are damages that can be precisely calculated with bills, documents, and receipts. They are typically easier to prove with proper documentation, and may include the following:

  • Past and future medical expenses
  • Rehabilitation costs
  • Special education needs
  • Home modifications
  • Lost wages (for caregiving parents)
  • Assistive devices and equipment

It is prudent to keep all of your records and receipts so that should a birth injury occur, you will have an easier time with your claims. 

Non-Economic Damages

These damages are more subjective and cannot be precisely measured. They typically require narrative evidence from witnesses and expert testimony. 

The following non-economic damages may be available for victims in birth injury cases: 

  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Loss of quality of life
  • Mental anguish
  • Loss of consortium
