  Navigating Legal Hurdles and Bias in Oregon Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents in Oregon are often caused by "lookout" issues, where drivers fail to notice motorcycles on the road. These accidents can result in severe injuries for motorcyclists, who also face biases from drivers and construction crews. Legal challenges can arise in the aftermath of an accident, such as disputes over insurance coverage and questions of liability. Passengers involved in accidents should not be overlooked. An experienced attorney can help navigate these complexities and secure fair compensation for those injured in motorcycle accidents.

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.

Why Hiring an Attorney for Small-Claim Damages in Oregon is Crucial | Best-Rated Oregon injury Lawyers

  Why Hiring an Attorney for Small-Claim Damages in Oregon is Crucial

Oregon has created a law (ORS 20.080) which is intended to level the playing field for injured parties with smaller claims and to promote these injured parties’ ability to get legal counsel. Generally, the law accomplishes this by awarding attorney fees to a party who successfully uses a lawyer to represent them in recovering their damages (medical costs, property losses, and other expenses including as lost wages). These fees for your Attorney are awarded if you make a demand for payment under $10,000.00, and the defendant (or their insurance company) declines the offer or offers less than you demand. If you subsequently are awarded more, you are also entitled to attorney fees under the law.
