Car Accidents in Oregon

Motor vehicle wrecks can have an overwhelming impact on the lives of those involved. Unfortunately, tens of thousands of people in Oregon are harmed as a result of traffic collisions annually. In many cases, victims require extensive medical care due to the injuries that they have suffered. Trying to overcome a traumatic brain injury or even an injury to the spinal cord can be incredibly challenging. Unfortunately, it can be incredibly costly as well.

Following a motor vehicle accident, you may have legal options available to help you move forward. If you have been hurt in a car accident, you may be able to seek financial compensation for some of the damages that you face. This can include compensation for:

• Lost wages
• Past and future medical expenses
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Property damage

In order to recover full compensation for these and other damages, you will need to prove that the defendant was negligent and that their negligent actions were the cause of the crash. You must also prove that the injuries and damages that you have suffered were as a result of the accident that was caused by the defendant.
