UPDATE: Officer Won’t Face Charges in Fatal Crash | Oregon Accident Lawyers

Date: January 14, 2010
Location: Oakridge, Oregon
Names: Virginia Spalinger, Daniel Miller

According to KTVZ.com, a young Oakridge, Oregon, police officer was not at fault in the tragic crash that killed Virginia Spalinger, 91, on October 12, 2009.

Following OSP’s investigation, and a review by Lane County prosecutors, authorities decided that no charges will be filed against Officer Daniel Miller, 27.

Miller was pursuing a speeder, with his lights and siren on, when Spalinger drove her car into his path. The head-on crash at the only stoplight in town killed Spalinger and injured Miller.

Crash investigators were not able to estimate Miller’s speed at the time of the crash.

Important questions to consider when hiring a lawyer:
Does the lawyer understand how to help me pay my medical bills after an accident?
What about testimonials?
What kind of time limits are involved?
What if I have a smaller case?
Are there any hard rules to follow when looking for a great personal injury lawyer?
