Car Accidents in Oregon
According to statistics, thousands of people are hurt in auto accidents across the state of Oregon every year. Quite often, these crashes can be attributed to some form of negligence. We see countless people hurt in motor vehicle accidents due to drivers who:
- travel too fast for road conditions and weather
- operate their vehicles while under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- use their cell phones and take their attention off the road while behind the wheel
- change lanes without checking their blind spots
- engaging in various reckless acts while operating their vehicles
