Oregon traffic laws are set in place to help ensure motorist safety, and Oregon roads are designed and maintained to reduce the likelihood of an accident. The unfortunate reality is reckless drivers cause hundreds of Oregon traffic accidents every year, often resulting in others suffering personal injury or even death.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), over 33,000 people died in car accidents in the United States in 2009. Over 2.2 million people were injured in automobile crashes that same year. In Oregon, 377 people died in car accidents in 2009.

Careless drivers who disobey traffic laws cause most Oregon auto accidents. Motorists speed, ignore stop signs, and make illegal turns. Portland car accident lawyers know that distracted driving has become a major problem in Oregon and throughout the United States. For instance, motorists who use their cell phone while driving to either send a text message or make a phone call, put their own safety as well as the safety of others on the road at risk.

Car accidents happen in a matter of seconds. No matter how experienced a driver you are, there may not be much you can do to prevent an accident caused by a careless driver. When someone is injured in an Oregon car collision, the law says they can get financial assistance for medical bills, lost wages, and property damage, and other expenses. In some cases, vocational training is needed because a victim can’t do their job anymore because of their injuries.
