Portland car accidents continue to take place at an alarming rate. No matter how many laws are in place to protect motorists, hundreds of people are hospitalized on a monthly basis with injuries from accidents involving cars, trucks, SUVs, and other methods of transportation. We want to believe that we will always make it to our destinations without any problems, but this is far from reality. Although we have many laws in place to protect motorists traveling in Portland and across the state, we continue to see victims harmed due to the negligence of other motorists. When drivers engage in reckless activities while operating their vehicles, they place the lives of others at risk.

Not only are most victims forced to endure overwhelming mental and physical pain and suffering, but they often face towering medical expenses, lost wages, and a variety of other financial burdens that negatively impact their lives. The time following a motor vehicle accident can be extremely overwhelming.
