How to Know If You Have a Personal Injury Case in Portland

  • Oregon-Specific Damage Assessment – Oregon’s approach to personal injury damages differs significantly from Washington state. Our Portland attorneys understand how Oregon courts evaluate non-economic damages and can provide a realistic assessment of what your case may be worth based on current legal precedents.
  • Modified Comparative Negligence Rules – Oregon follows a modified comparative negligence system that bars recovery if you’re found more than 50% at fault. Our team will analyze your case to identify strategies for minimizing any potential comparative negligence arguments that could reduce or eliminate your compensation.
  • Statute of Limitations Considerations – Time limits for filing personal injury claims in Oregon are generally shorter than in neighboring states. With just two years for most injury claims, it’s crucial to consult with a Portland attorney promptly to preserve your legal rights and ensure proper investigation of your case.

How Were You Injured in Portland?

Portland’s unique urban landscape—from its bike-friendly infrastructure to its bustling downtown to its diverse neighborhoods—creates distinct personal injury scenarios. Our attorneys have successfully represented clients injured in virtually every type of accident across the Portland metropolitan area:

Car Accidents

Portland’s congested roadways like I-5, I-84, and Highway 26 see hundreds of collisions annually, many resulting in serious injuries. From rear-end crashes on the Banfield Expressway to T-bone collisions at busy downtown intersections, our Portland car accident attorneys understand the complex factors that contribute to these incidents. We’ll conduct a thorough investigation, work with accident reconstruction specialists when necessary, and build a compelling case for maximum compensation under Oregon law.

Truck Accidents

With the Port of Portland and numerous distribution centers throughout the region, commercial truck traffic is heavy on Portland’s roadways. When accidents involve these massive vehicles, the resulting injuries can be catastrophic. Our truck accident attorneys understand the federal regulations governing the trucking industry and have the resources to thoroughly investigate these complex cases, identifying all potentially liable parties from drivers to trucking companies to equipment manufacturers.

Bus Accidents

TriMet buses and MAX light rail trains transport thousands of Portland residents daily. When accidents occur involving public transportation, victims face special challenges due to government tort claim notice requirements and statutory damage caps. Our attorneys are well-versed in the Oregon Tort Claims Act and will ensure your claim complies with all procedural requirements while pursuing the maximum compensation available under the law.

Motorcycle Accidents

Portland’s scenic routes through the Columbia River Gorge and into the Cascade foothills make it a popular destination for motorcyclists. Unfortunately, when drivers fail to notice motorcycles or respect their right to share the road, devastating crashes can result. Our motorcycle accident attorneys understand the unique dynamics of these collisions and the prejudice riders often face. We’ll work diligently to overcome bias while securing fair compensation for your injuries and property damage.

Bicycle Accidents

As one of America’s most bicycle-friendly cities, Portland has an extensive network of bike lanes, paths, and commuter routes. Despite these accommodations, collisions between motor vehicles and bicycles remain all too common. Our bicycle accident attorneys are cyclists themselves and understand the unique hazards Portland riders face. We’ve successfully represented injured cyclists throughout the metropolitan area, securing compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and damaged equipment.

Pedestrian Accidents

From the busy crosswalks of the Pearl District to the crowded streets around Portland State University, pedestrian traffic is heavy throughout the city. When distracted or negligent drivers strike pedestrians, the injuries are often catastrophic. Our pedestrian accident attorneys have extensive experience representing those injured in crosswalks, parking lots, and sidewalks throughout Portland, securing compensation that addresses both immediate medical needs and long-term care requirements.

Slip and Fall Accidents

Portland’s rainy climate creates heightened slip and fall hazards at businesses, apartment buildings, and public spaces throughout the city. These premises liability cases require proving that a property owner knew or should have known about a dangerous condition and failed to address it properly. Our attorneys are skilled at investigating these incidents, documenting unsafe conditions, and establishing the timeline needed to prove negligence under Oregon law.

Workplace Accidents

From construction sites at Portland’s rapidly growing skyline to manufacturing facilities along the Columbia Corridor, workplace accidents are a significant source of injuries in the metro area. While workers’ compensation provides limited benefits, third-party claims can often provide additional compensation when contractors, equipment manufacturers, or property owners contribute to an accident. Our workplace injury attorneys explore all potential avenues for recovery beyond Oregon’s workers’ compensation system.

Dog Bites

Portland’s dog-friendly culture and numerous off-leash parks create ample opportunities for dog bite incidents. Oregon law holds pet owners responsible when their animals injure others, with special provisions for dogs that have previously exhibited dangerous behavior. Our attorneys have successfully represented numerous dog bite victims in Portland, securing compensation for medical expenses, plastic surgery, and psychological trauma resulting from animal attacks.

Wrongful Death Claims

Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence is devastating both emotionally and financially. Oregon’s wrongful death statutes have specific rules about who can bring a claim and what damages are recoverable. Our Portland wrongful death attorneys understand these nuances and approach these sensitive cases with both compassion and determination, working to secure financial stability for your family while honoring your loved one’s memory.
