A passenger may be able to make a claim against the driver's insurance even when the driver is a friend, and doing so does not mean suing the friend personally. The claim is typically paid under the liability policy, and the facts about fault, other vehicles, and coverage limits should all be reviewed.
Insurance calls, medical bills, missed work, and uncertainty tend to arrive at the same time. The first job is to steady the situation: understand the facts, preserve useful records, and talk through the legal options that fit your Oregon injury claim.
“... I was referred to Adam who was able to take my case and quickly get it resolved for more than I expected. I was very pleasantly surprised by his attention to detail and tenacious negotiating tactics... Adam handled everything to make sure I received the maximum compensation for my injuries. If you need a good personal injury lawyer you just found one.”
