Oregon Personal Injury Lawyers
Car, Truck, Bus, & Motorcycle Accidents
We are well-versed in all aspects of insurance law and know how to properly protect an injured client’s interests whether it is through litigation with the responsible party or insurance company, arbitration of underinsured or uninsured claims, or investigation of excess liability policies.
More than 40,000 people are killed in car, truck, bus and motorcycle accidents each year in the United States and nearly three million suffer injuries. Auto accidents account for among the most serious injuries, including brain damage and spinal cord injury. For instance, 45 percent of all spinal cord injuries in the United States -- or roughly 5,000 annually -- are the result of car and truck accidents.
Protect Yourself & Others
To protect yourself and others, wear a seat belt, observe the rules of the road, and purchase sufficient auto insurance including liability, uninsured, and underinsured motorists coverage. Liability insurance will protect you in the event you cause an accident. Uninsured and underinsured coverage will help protect you in the event someone else causes an accident and injures you.
