The History of the Central Eastside Neighborhood in Portland, OR

The Central Eastside neighborhood is just across from downtown on the other side of the Willamette River. It offers easy access to the eastside and central-city districts. The area has gone through a significant revitalization to transform it into one of the best locations for art, entertainment, restaurants, and shopping.

James B. Stephens obtained 640 acres in 1845 directly across from the Portland townsite. A few years after, Gideon Tibbetts obtained 640 acres south of  Division Street under the Donation Land Act. 

However, Stephens did not incorporate the City of East Portland until 1871. Central Eastside was officially designated as a district of Portland’s Central City in 1988. However, it has been a vital part of Portland’s economy for more than 150 years.

When you visit Central Eastside, you want to make sure you visit the following:

• The Oregon Rail Heritage Center
• The Oregon Museum of Science and Industry
• Revolution Hall
• Portland’s Distillery Row
• American Barista and Coffee School
• Vera Katz Eastbank Esplanade
• Burnside Skatepark

The area blends historic industrial architecture with creative adaptations to reuse industrial buildings. Water Avenue along the Willamette River is a popular area for residents and tourists. Produce Row provides produce from local vendors. 

The selection of restaurants, entertainment venues, shopping, and recreation keeps Central Eastside residents and visitors busy.

Our Personal Injury Law Firm’s Primary Practice Areas

At Tillmann Law Personal Injury Lawyers, our Central Eastside injury attorneys handle numerous types of personal injury cases. We have the resources and expertise to handle the most complicated case. 

Some of our law firm’s primary practice areas include, but are not limited to:

Car Accidents

Traffic accidents occur every day in Portland. 

Car accidents can cause traumatic injuries, including:

• Broken bones
• Traumatic brain injury
• Spinal cord injury
• Internal organ damage
• Neck and back injuries
• Catastrophic injuries

You should not have to pay for another person’s negligence or recklessness. Our car accident attorney will pursue every legal option to hold the at-fault party liable for your damages. 

Construction Accidents

The Central Eastside undergoes a lot of construction. Sadly, construction accidents frequently cause severe injuries and wrongful deaths. 

Injured workers in the Central Eastside might have more than one option for recovering compensation. Therefore, we’ll analyze your case to determine if you have grounds for a third-party claim in addition to a workers’ compensation claim.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists have a high risk of being severely injured in a crash. The injuries and damages caused by a motorcycle accident can be substantial. 

Unfortunately, insurance companies often try to shift the blame for the accident to the rider. A motorcycle accident lawyer at Tillmann Law Personal Injury Lawyers will fight to protect Central Eastside motorcyclists from unfair allegations of fault so they can receive a fair settlement. 

Slip & Fall Accidents

Slip and fall accidents caused by hazardous conditions can result in severe injuries. Property owners can be held liable for damages under premises liability laws. Our injury lawyers at Tillmann Law Personal Injury Lawyers handle all types of slip and fall cases, including accidents on private, government, and commercial property.

Truck Accidents

Large trucks cause catastrophic injuries. Over 70% of the injuries and deaths from truck accidents are passengers in other vehicles. Our truck accident attorneys will help you recover compensation for permanent impairments and other damages. 

Wrongful Death

Losing a family member is always difficult. If another party caused their death, the family might be entitled to damages under Oregon’s wrongful death laws. A financial award will not ease the grief or replace a loved one, but it can help a family meet financial responsibilities after losing a family member. 

Damages Available in Central Eastside Personal Injury Cases

Accidents and personal injuries can cause physical, financial, and emotional damages. Our Central Eastside personal injury lawyers at Tillmann Law Personal Injury Lawyers will carefully document and analyze your damages to maximize your settlement amount. 

Injured parties can receive compensation for economic damages, including:

• Lost wages and benefits
• Out-of-pocket expenses
• Medical bills and cost of rehabilitative therapy
• Future decrease in earning capacity
• The cost of help with household tasks and personal care

In addition to monetary losses, an injured victim might experience pain and suffering. Personal injury laws allow victims to receive compensation for non-economic damages, including:

• Physical discomfort
• Disabilities and impairments
• Emotional distress
• Scarring and disfigurement
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Mental anguish
• Diminished quality of life

The amount you receive in a personal injury claim depends on numerous factors. The strength of the evidence proving fault, allegations of contributory fault, the severity of your injuries, and other factors can impact how much your claim is worth.

In very specific lawsuits, injured parties might receive punitive damages. We review every case to determine if punitive damages are justified. Our injury attorney will work to maximize the factors that increase the value of your case while defending you against allegations that could decrease how much you receive. 

What Does It Cost To Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer in Multnomah County?

At Tillmann Law Personal Injury Lawyers, we do not charge you any upfront fees to hire our personal injury law firm in Portland. Instead, we work on a contingency fee basis. 

Our attorney receives payment for legal services based on a percentage of the amount we recover in your case. Therefore, you do not pay any attorneys’ fees until you are paid. 

Statute of Limitations in Oregon Personal Injury Cases

A statute of limitations sets a deadline for filing a personal injury lawsuit. Most personal injury cases have a two-year deadline under Oregon’s statute of limitations. However, wrongful death claims generally have a three-year statute of limitations.

Some exceptions could shorten or lengthen the time to file a claim. For example, you must provide written notice to a government agency within 180 days if you intend to sue the government.

Contact Tillmann Law Personal Injury Lawyers as soon as possible for a free case review. We’ll calculate the deadline for filing your claim.
