Oregon Car Accident Attorneys

Oregon has a long and storied history when it comes to transportation. From the famous pioneer trail to the expansions planned for US-97, traffic has always been part of living in the state. But these days, with so many vehicles going so many places, from Portland to Eugene, traffic accidents have become all too common as well.

According to the Oregon Department of Transportation, in 2020, our roadways saw 38,141 total auto accidents, from which nearly 28,000 people were injured and another 507 were killed. In a year that saw dramatically less traffic due to the Covid-19 pandemic, it is not surprising this represents a marked drop in total accidents from the prior year, but this shows an actual increase in fatalities compared to 2019.

Whatever the cause and wherever the location, a car wreck can change your life in an instant.

On top of being hurt, scared, and confused, many people may not know what to do next, let alone that they may be entitled to compensation. That’s why Metier Law Firm is here.

A low-speed fender-bender in Beaverton is unlikely to cause the same level of injury as a head-on collision on I-5. Since there are any number of ways a car accident can happen, there are just as many kinds of bodily harm that can come from them. Safety features have come a long way in recent years, but due to the weight and velocity of a modern vehicle in transit, catastrophic injuries still can and do result.

Some of the most common types of injury seen in Oregon car accidents include, but are not limited to:

• Broken Bones
• Lacerations
• Head injuries
• Spinal Cord Injuries
• Paralysis
• Amputation
• Death

If you have suffered any of these injuries from an accident that was caused by the reckless behavior of another driver, you have a right to file a legal claim to be reimbursed for any resulting expenses. This can be a complicated process, and it is extremely helpful to have the assistance of an experienced Oregon car accident attorney. Call Metier Law Firm today, and see what the Attorney of the West can do for your case.

We’ve come a long way since the days of the Oregon Trail, but getting from one place to another still carries a certain amount of risk. While you may not have to worry about contracting dysentery while driving down I-5, there are still plenty of dangers on our roads and highways, from distracted driving to inclement weather to careless truckers.

We hope the worst never happens to you, but if you are injured in any type of car accident in the state of Oregon, give our Portland office a call. Our team of knowledgeable personal injury attorneys will listen to your account of what happened and apply our decades of experience to your specific case. If we can help you, we will get to work immediately, compiling a compelling case to make sure you receive compensation to start living your life again.

Don't try to fight the insurance companies on your own. They know every trick in the book to keep from having to pay you a fair amount. Luckily, Metier Law Firm knows these tricks, too, and how to work against them. Contact us, or fill out our online case evaluation form, and get the Lawyer of the West on your team!
