Beaverton Car Accident Lawyer

Beaverton sits at the junction of two of the busiest highways in Oregon. Highway 26 carries more than 150,000 vehicles a day past the Cedar Hills and Murray exits, and Highway 217 funnels that traffic south to Tigard and I-5 through a series of short merges that produce rear-end and sideswipe crashes every rush hour. Add Canyon Road, Tualatin Valley Highway, Farmington Road, and the signal-heavy stretch of Murray Boulevard, and Beaverton has one of the highest crash counts of any city in Washington County. If a negligent driver injured you on any of those roads, the car accident lawyers at DuBois Law Group – PDX Injury Law can help you recover what Oregon law allows.

Where Car Accidents Happen in Beaverton

The crashes we see most often from Beaverton cluster in a few places. The Highway 26 and Highway 217 interchange, where drivers weave across lanes to make the split. The Highway 217 on- and off-ramps at Canyon, Walker, and Allen, where short merges force sudden braking. The Canyon Road and Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway corridor through downtown Beaverton, with its dense signals and driveways. Murray Boulevard from Highway 26 to Scholls Ferry, especially at Millikan Way and Allen. And the parking lots and access roads around Cedar Hills Crossing and Washington Square, where low-speed collisions still cause real injuries. Crashes on the highways are investigated by Oregon State Police or the Washington County Sheriff, while city streets fall to Beaverton Police, and our attorneys obtain the correct report and any intersection or business camera footage before it is overwritten.

Oregon Car Insurance Laws and How They Apply to Your Claim

Oregon is an at-fault state, so the negligent driver’s liability insurance pays for the injuries they cause. Every Oregon auto policy must also carry Personal Injury Protection, which pays your own medical bills up to at least $15,000 regardless of fault, and uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage equal to your liability limits. Those two coverages matter because Oregon’s minimum liability limit is only $25,000 per person, and many Beaverton crashes involve drivers carrying exactly that. When the at-fault driver’s coverage is not enough, your own underinsured motorist coverage fills the gap; our FAQ on low policy limits explains how. Our Portland car accident lawyer page covers Oregon’s insurance rules in full detail, and our article on FAQs about auto accident insurance in Oregon answers the most common coverage questions.

Damages Available to Beaverton Car Accident Victims

You can recover economic damages, including medical bills, future treatment, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, and vehicle damage, and noneconomic damages for pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. Oregon no longer caps noneconomic damages in personal injury cases. If the driver who hit you was drunk or fled the scene, punitive damages may be available; see our Beaverton drunk driving accident page and our hit and run page. Common injuries in these crashes include whiplash and back injuries, fractures, and concussions; our articles on whiplash after an accident and how a car accident settlement is reached explain how those injuries are valued.

How Long Do You Have to File a Car Accident Lawsuit in Oregon?

Oregon’s statute of limitations for personal injury claims, ORS 12.110, gives you two years from the date of the crash to file a lawsuit, and that deadline remains in effect as of 2026. If a TriMet bus, a City of Beaverton or Washington County vehicle, or a state vehicle was involved, a tort claim notice is due within 180 days. Your PIP and uninsured motorist claims also carry notice requirements under your own policy. Lawsuits arising in Beaverton are filed in Washington County Circuit Court in Hillsboro.

What to Do After a Car Accident in Beaverton

Call 911 and report the crash, even if it seems minor; Oregon requires a DMV accident report within 72 hours when there is any injury or more than $2,500 in damage. Photograph the vehicles, the scene, and your injuries. Exchange insurance information and collect witness contacts. Get medical care the same day, since PIP covers it and delayed treatment is the first thing an insurer uses against a claim. Do not give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurer. Our article on reporting a car accident covers the DMV requirement, and how to file a passenger injury claim addresses passengers’ rights.
