What Is Oregon Personal Injury Protection (PIP)? | Best Oregon injury lawyers

  What Is Oregon Personal Injury Protection (PIP)?

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.

Will my insurance pay my bills if I am hit by a car and injured while riding my bicycle or walking? | Best Oregon injury lawyers

  Will my insurance pay my bills if I am hit by a car and injured while riding my bicycle or walking?

Q: Will my insurance pay my bills if I am hit by a car and injured while riding my bicycle or walking?

A: It depends on what kind of insurance you carry. If you have your own car insurance, an Oregon bicycle accident injury lawyer can help you use your automobile's PIP ("personal injury protection") insurance to immediately provide coverage even if you injured while riding a bicycle or walking.

Who is at fault in this accident? | Top-rated Oregon injury lawyers

  Who is at fault in this accident?

Every contested auto accident involves two major issues - "liability" and "damages." Liability simply means that the other party must be legally liable before he or she has any obligation to pay compensation for injuries.

Is there bias that a motorcyclist must be at fault or "deserve" inuries in a motorcycle accident? | Best Oregon injury lawyers

  Is there bias that a motorcyclist must be at fault or "deserve" inuries in a motorcycle accident?

Juries, insurance adjusters, judges, and even lawyers representing motorcycle accident victims sometimes maintain the subtle bias that motorcyclists "deserve" injuries because they forego the safety of a four-wheeled, enclosed vehicle. At Pacific Injury Law Firm, we recognize such biases and refuse to minimize the claims of the motorcycle accident victim. If a motorcycle accident victim is not able to obtain complete and fair compensation, we will take the case to trial.

What is Oregon underinsured motorist (“UIM”) coverage? | Top Oregon injury lawyers

  What is Oregon underinsured motorist (“UIM”) coverage?

In short, UIM insurance is a means of utilizing your own (UM uninsured) policy when another driver has insurance, but it’s not enough to cover your injuries. With UIM insurance coverage, if available, you would get coverage equal to the difference between the policy limits on your UM policy and the policy limits carried by the insurance policy of a negligent driver who caused an injury (the at-fault driver) in a car accident, motorcycle accident, or bicycle accident.
