Car Accidents in Oregon
A traffic accident can have an overwhelming impact on every aspect of your life. From trying to return to work to even performing a simple task, you may find it quite challenging if you are in the middle of getting medical care for an injury. Unfortunately, tens of thousands of people in our state are hurt as a result of car crashes every single year. What’s worse is that the majority of these accidents are preventable.
Countless people are severely hurt as a result of drivers who are traveling too fast for road conditions. If the weather is bad or if there is congestion on the road, speeding is a recipe for disaster. Unfortunately, impairment is also a leading cause of crashes that we see here in our state. When people are intoxicated or under the influence of drugs, they are less likely to be able to control their vehicles responsibly. Other leading factors in car crashes across our state include distractions, reckless driving actions, and failing to yield.
