Car Accidents in Oregon
Car accidents leave tens of thousands of people in Oregon injured every year. In many cases, these crashes are a result of drivers who act negligently. We see innocent people hurt as a result of drivers who travel too fast for road conditions, drivers who switch lanes without looking, and drivers who weave in and out of traffic.
If you’ve been hurt as a result of the vehicle accident, you can pursue legal action against the driver who is at fault. A personal injury case can help you seek financial compensation to cover some of the damages you face.
Lost wages are usually the most significant damage award in a car accident case. If you’ve been injured in an accident, you may not be able to work and earn a living. This can have a huge impact on your finances. Medical expenses can also be very costly, especially if you need long-term care or rehabilitation. Vehicle repair costs can also add up, especially if your car is totaled.
To recover damages from a Portland car accident, you’ll need to file a personal injury claim with the at-fault driver’s insurance company.
