Injured in a Car or Truck Crash?
We Fight for Maximum Compensation.
Oregon car accident claims are complex. Insurance companies have teams of adjusters working to minimize your payout. We level the playing field.
Why Insurance Companies Lowball Car Accident Claims
After a car accident, the at-fault driver's insurance company will contact you quickly, sometimes within hours. They'll sound friendly and offer to "take care of everything." What they're really doing is trying to settle your claim before you understand the full extent of your injuries.
Insurance companies treat your injury like a math problem to minimize your payout. As a former financial analyst, I know the exact formulas they use to underpay claims. I calculate the true lifetime cost of your pain, suffering, and lost wages, and I use their own math against them to ensure you aren't shortchanged.
Types of Car Accident Cases We Handle
Rear-End Collisions
Whiplash, herniated discs, and traumatic brain injuries that may not appear for days or weeks after the crash.
Intersection & T-Bone Accidents
Broadside collisions often cause catastrophic injuries due to the lack of structural protection on vehicle sides.
Drunk & Distracted Driving
Punitive damages may be available when the other driver was impaired, texting, or acting recklessly.
Pedestrian & Bicycle Accidents
Severe injuries when vulnerable road users are struck by negligent drivers.
Uninsured / Underinsured Motorist Claims
UM/UIM claims against your own insurance policy when the at-fault driver lacks adequate coverage.
Truck & Commercial Vehicle Accidents
A collision with a commercial truck is a different kind of case, not just a bigger car accident. Liability rarely stops with the driver: the trucking company, maintenance contractors, and cargo loaders may all share fault, and each brings its own insurer and its own defense lawyers. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations on hours of service, maintenance, and inspections often supply the strongest evidence of negligence, if you know where to look.
The most important evidence (driver logs, "black box" data, dispatch records, inspection reports) sits in the trucking company's hands, and retention policies let much of it disappear within weeks. We send evidence-preservation letters immediately, then build the damages case the same way we do every injury claim: by calculating the true lifetime cost, not the insurer's formula number.
What to Do After a Car Accident in Oregon
- Call 911: Report the accident and get medical attention, even if injuries seem minor.
- Document everything: Photos of the scene, damage, injuries, and the other driver's information.
- Don't give a recorded statement: The insurance adjuster's questions are designed to undermine your claim.
- See a doctor within 72 hours: Delayed treatment gives insurers ammunition to deny your claim.
- Call an attorney before accepting any offer: Initial offers are almost always far below the true value of your case.
