  Causes of Oregon Pedestrian Injuries and Pedestrian Accidents

Increasingly, Oregon sees an increased number of pedestrian injuries or even deaths from being struck by motor vehicles. Every 88 minutes, a pedestrian dies in a car-related accident. Every year, roughly 6,000 pedestrians lose their lives or are injured in accidents where they are hit by motor vehicles. The most common location for these accidents is at intersections or crosswalks when motorists don't yield the right-of-way or stop for traffic devices like stoplights or stop signs.

The Darker Side of Cycling - Bicycle Injuries from Accidents | Best-Rated Oregon injury Attorneys

  The Darker Side of Cycling - Bicycle Injuries from Accidents

For many in Oregon, bicycling is a way of life. It appeals equally to families out for slow rides and serious athletes alike. It's great exercise, easy on the environment, and has a reasonably inexpensive bar to entry once you acquire the basic equipment. However, failure to take necessary safety precautions can unnecessarily expose you to bicycle injuries from accidents.

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

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

Juries, insurance adjusters, judges, and even attorneys 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.
