Understanding Wrongful Death Lawsuits in Oregon | Best Oregon injury Attorneys

  Understanding Wrongful Death Lawsuits in Oregon

A "wrongful death” lawsuit primarily occurs when an accident causes the death of another person because of negligence. Under Oregon law, ORS 30.020 defines "wrongful death" as a _”death caused by the wrongful act or omission of another."_ This usually is because of the reckless, negligent, or intentional act of someone else. Mainly, if it weren’t for the actions of another person, the deceased would still be alive.

Understanding Personal Injury Protection (PIP) in Oregon | Top Oregon injury Attorneys

  Understanding Personal Injury Protection (PIP) in Oregon

Your liability coverage may include Personal Injury Protection ("PIP") or Medical Payments ("Med Pay") benefits. PIP provides a source of payment for YOUR medical bills and some of YOUR wage loss following an auto accident. Further, PIP is no-fault, meaning that it will begin paying on your injuries immediately, rather than waiting for liability to be determined. Similarly, Med Pay provides some coverage for YOUR medical bills. These are called "no-fault" coverages because they pay even if the accident is your fault.
