More than 13,000 of these accidents take place right here in Multnomah County. These accidents send thousands of people to area hospitals each year with broken bones, spinal cord injuries, internal organ damages, and other life-threatening injuries that demand immediate medical care. In some instances, people have to remain hospitalized for several days or even weeks as they undergo treatment for their injuries. The immediate and long-term consequences leave injured parties to deal with an array of negative consequences.
