Car Accidents in Oregon
Each year, tens of thousands of people in the state of Oregon are negatively affected by motor vehicle accidents. Quite often, victims are left with severe injuries that demand emergency medical care. We see a significant number of people forced into area hospitals where they have to go through medical treatment and spend days or even weeks in recovery. Depending on the severity of the injuries, victims may have to go through therapy for several months.
Unfortunately, even though there are several treatment options available for victims, they come with no guarantee of a full recovery. Consequently, we see thousands of people left permanently disabled as a result of auto accidents in our state.
