Portland Injury Attorneys See Many Accident Victims Who Need Legal Assistance

Injury claims arise from a number of events, incidents and circumstances in which you of a loved one sustains serious injury as the result of an accident. Common injury claims that the Portland injury attorneys see in their personal injury practice are the result of car accidents, truck accidents, boat accidents, motorcycle accidents, bike accidents, construction accidents, slip and falls, dangerous premises accidents, sporting accidents and dog bites — just to name a few.

Never planned and rarely foreseeable, accidents that result in injury due to the recklessness or negligence of another can easily strain budgets and leave victims with life-long challenges.

For instance, take the head-on crash that KATU News reported Saturday afternoon. Occurring at approximately 4 PM on April 13, 2013, the head-on crash took place in the 9000 block of North Denver Avenue when the driver of a BMW lost control of his speeding car, crossed the center line into oncoming traffic, and hit a pick-up truck. The driver of the BMW was taken to the hospital with what police reported as being life-threatening injuries, while the driver and passenger in the pick-up truck were transported to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Expected to survive, the BMW driver could possibly be held responsible for the property damage and medical expenses of the pick-up occupants.
