Car Accidents in Oregon

Portland, OR – Car Crash with Injuries Reported on SE Powell Blvd near SE Naegeli DrCar accidents are a leading cause of death and injury in Oregon. Unfortunately, thousands of accidents take place every year in our state. There are many common causes of car accidents. Unfortunately, some of the leading factors of traffic accidents in our state include:

  • Distracted driving: This is perhaps the leading cause of car accidents. Drivers who are distracted by their cell phones or other electronic devices are more likely to be involved in an accident.
  • Impairment: Drivers who are under the influence of drugs or alcohol are also a major cause of car accidents.
  • Speeding: Speeding is another major factor in car accidents. Drivers who are speeding are more likely to lose control of their vehicle and cause an accident.
  • Weather conditions: Bad weather can also lead to car accidents. If the roads are icy or visibility is poor, it can be difficult for drivers to avoid an accident.

Regrettably, these and other acts of negligence can cause severe injuries to those involved. Some common injuries reported in car accidents across our state include:

  • Head injuries: These can range from concussions to traumatic brain injuries (TBI). Head injuries can be very serious and even fatal.
  • Back injuries: These can include anything from sprains and strains to herniated discs. Back injuries can be extremely painful and debilitating.
  • Chest injuries: These can include broken ribs, punctured lungs, or internal bleeding. Chest injuries can be life-threatening.
  • Abdominal injuries: These can include organ damage or internal bleeding. Abdominal injuries can be very serious and even fatal.
  • Facial injuries: These can include cuts, bruises, fractures, or teeth damage. Facial injuries can be very painful and disfiguring.
