Fatal Pedestrian Accidents in Oregon

Portland, OR – Neri Ramirez-Mendoza Dies from Injuries in NE 122nd Ave CrashStatistics from 2018 and 2019 show that there was a 22% increase in the number of pedestrians who lost their lives in traffic collisions throughout the state of Oregon. Over 20 people end up losing their lives in crashes in Portland alone. Although we like to think that the enactment of safety measures throughout our state is helping, we continue to see families forced to deal with the consequences of tragic collisions.

When victims are fatally injured in accidents, their families are often left to pay tens of thousands of dollars on funeral expenses. To make the situation even more challenging to accept, families often lose sources of income that they depend on. Not only are families left to deal with the immediate impacts of pedestrian wrecks, but the long-term mental and emotional consequences can be unbearable.

When victims lose their lives in accidents due to the negligence of others, it is crucial that their families seek the legal guidance of a wrongful death attorney in Oregon as soon as possible. Working with a reputable and responsive legal team is a family’s best bet for recovering.
