  Bicycle Accidents in Oregon: Understanding the Risks and Protecting Your Rights

Between 2012 and 2018, 1,743 reported bicycle crashes occurred in Oregon. 70% involved collisions with motor vehicles and 18 resulted in fatalities. Portland State University found that nearly one-third of all Portland residents have been involved in a bicycle accident at some point. Common causes include failure to yield right-of-way, speeding, improper passing and running stop signs/red lights. Wearing proper safety gear such as a helmet is recommended to reduce risk of an accident while biking.

Understanding Liens in Personal Injury Cases | Top-Rated Oregon injury Attorneys

  Understanding Liens in Personal Injury Cases

In this post we explore the topic of liens in personal injury cases, specifically those filed by the Personal Injury Liens Unit (PIL) in Oregon, which can include liens by the Oregon Health Plan (OHP) and Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF). We provide an example of how OHP may file a lien against a settlement, and discuss steps that injured individuals can take, with the help of an experienced attorney, to report injuries to PIL, negotiate lien amounts, and ensure that payments are made correctly and on time.

Pedestrian fatalities have been increasing in the US, with speed being a major factor. New York City has launched Vision Zero to reduce traffic-related fatalities and injuries, but nationwide implementation of lower speed limits, increased enforcement and other measures is needed to protect pedestrians from speeding cars. Small reductions can make a big difference in fatal crashes involving pedestrians. Legislation requiring cities to implement such measures is essential for successful long-term solutions.
