Oregon Car Accident Claims

In Oregon, car accident cases should not be considered easy. Sure, the other driver was obviously at fault. But an experienced attorney knows that proving fault is the smallest part of helping injured children or adults get the money to which they are entitled.

First, the attorney will help you identify and preserve important evidence on how the injury is affecting the child or adult. A claim is all about evidence. Without good evidence, the value of your case suffers.

Second, the attorney will shield you from professional insurance adjusters and “doctors,” whose job it is to minimize what they pay you.

Third, an experienced attorney knows all of the laws and rules (some of which are informal and unwritten) that control things like:

Can they get ALL of my past medical records?
Must I submit to an " Independent Medical Examination?"
Must I really submit to a psychological exam for a spinal injury?

The outcome of car accident lawsuits turns on the "discovery" phase of the lawsuit, when both sides may gather information about the claims and defenses. This is where you need a lawyer who has been working on motor vehicle accident cases for years. A generalist lawyer -- your buddy or relative who does wills and divorces -- will not serve you well.

Please call me (or some other attorney) right away, before the insurance pros have a chance to trick and trap you. I have the experience and tenacity to help you. You may contact me at 503-665-4234. And, by the way, I will answer the call, not some paralegal.
