About Attorney Laura Kalur
Breast Cancer Survivor
Laura Kalur was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. Her father was a medical malpractice attorney defending doctors and hospitals and she fell in love with trial law and medicine at an early age.
After graduating from Law School in Oregon, Laura started her career on the defense side, but quickly learned that her heart and soul lay with protecting patients (plaintiffs), not insurance companies. She has practiced exclusively as a plaintiff’s attorney representing injured patients for over 17 years. To Laura, plaintiffs work is not simply a job, it is a passion and a calling that requires skill, experience, tenacity, and dedication. She prides herself on being approachable and easily accessible to her clients. A strong attorney-client relationship and bond is critical to achieving the best results possible. She understands the lives of her clients have usually been turned upside down by injury and takes time to understand each client’s personal experience and needs.
Ms. Kalur started her own firm in 2007 and has never looked back. While she started her career in Oregon, she quickly branched out and began taking cases all over the country. She has handled mass tort cases involving defective medical devices and a wide variety of medical negligence cases. These cases have taken her all over the country where she has done depositions, settlement mediations and tried cases in state and federal courts. Through this wide range and depth of experience, she has developed an invaluable network of medical experts and attorneys which enables her to provide exceptional services to injured patients, no matter where they are located in this country.
Being healthy one moment and facing life altering disability the next moment is horrifying. Laura strives to give her clients the compassion and legal representation they deserve.
