Car Accidents in Oregon

Tens of thousands of people are left with injuries that require some form of medical treatment. In many cases, victims are hospitalized with internal organ damages, spinal cord injuries, and other life-altering injuries that require emergency surgery and endless treatment. Although many of us are aware that motor vehicle accidents often end in injuries, we are often unprepared to deal with the consequences that they have on victims and their families.

Not only are victims left to suffer physically from their crashes, but their families suffer as well. They are often forced to endure stacking medical costs and devastating financial consequences from lost wages and property repairs. Victims who are injured in crashes often endure towering financial burdens that make the process of recovering from injuries challenging. Not only do victims struggle but their families as well.
