Car Accidents in Oregon
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.
In many cases, victims are hospitalized with internal organ damages, spinal cord injuries, and other life-altering injuries that require emergency surgery and endless treatment. Although many of us are aware that motor vehicle accidents often end in injuries, we are often unprepared to deal with the consequences that they have on victims and their families.
When drivers engage in reckless activities while operating their vehicles, they place the lives of others at risk. In cases where victims sustain injuries in crashes caused by negligent drivers, it is crucial that they reach out to a car accident attorney in Portland as soon as possible. Victims may be entitled to compensation to help alleviate the financial burdens they face moving forward.
