Car Accidents in Oregon

Every day, motor vehicle accidents in the city of Portland inflict endless mental, physical, and emotional pain and suffering on victims. These accidents are often unpredictable. However, we continue to see a significant number of people harmed in accidents due to the negligence of other motorists. Drivers who are under the influence of alcohol, distracted by cell phones, and drivers who speed and engage in other reckless driving behaviors place the lives of other motorists and their passengers at risk every day across our state.

When victims are involved in accidents, they are often left to deal with overwhelming mental and physical consequences. Going through constant medical treatment for painful injuries is mentally and financially exhausting. In some cases, victims have to spend tens of thousands of dollars on hospitalizations, surgery, doctor appointments, and other medical care they require for their injuries.
