The right lawyer can help you in many different ways.

Connecting you with the right doctors
Returning to the crash scene to collect evidence
Determining crash causation
Identifying the defendant(s)

Your relationship with your attorney can provide a stable platform on which to base your case and your future after a bad car accident. The sooner you connect with an attorney, the easier navigating your case will be.

What Causes Most Car Accidents in Gresham?

One of the key questions your lawyer can help you answer is, “Who caused my car accident?” While you might assume the answer is the other driver, other factors could be at work that you are unaware of.

For example, your crash might stem from a defective car part or dangerous roadway. These factors could expand your ability to recover compensation by naming multiple defendants in your injury claim.

At Tillmann Law Personal Injury Lawyers, we can identify all appropriate defendants by analyzing your crash and determining its causes(s).

Driver error. Inattention, improper lookout, driver distraction, driving under the influence, reckless driving, speeding, and following too closely are all common driver errors that lead to car accidents in Gresham.
Defective vehicle parts. Even the most prudent driver might not be able to avoid an accident when driving a defective or dangerously designed vehicle. Product manufacturers can be liable for crashes related to bad brakes, electrical problems, faulty tires, malfunctioning airbags, and other car parts.
Dangerous roadways. Poorly maintained or neglected roadways can contain hazards that lead to traffic accidents, such as potholes, missing guardrails, uneven roads, broken traffic lights, and obscured signs. The City of Gresham or a private owner could be liable for a dangerous roadway.

In 2017, Oregon reported 57,726 total car accidents – almost 28,400 of which caused injuries, and 403 were fatal. The top driver errors were failure to avoid a stopped vehicle ahead and failure to yield the right-of-way.

At Tillmann Law Personal Injury Lawyers, we can work with investigators to determine the cause of your car accident. Then, we can go to work on pursuing compensation for your damages from the at-fault party.

How Does Oregon’s Car Accident Insurance System Work?

Before you can fight for fair compensation for your losses, you must understand how to navigate Oregon’s car insurance system. Oregon is a fault-based state with a no-fault provision built-in.

This system provides financial protection for victims of car crashes. Victims can either seek compensation through their no-fault insurance plans or the other driver’s fault-based insurance. The decision will depend on your goals and the circumstances of the crash.

All insurance policies must have built-in no-fault provisions in Oregon. No-fault insurance is a first-party process, meaning through a claim with your own insurance provider.

You can qualify for no-fault insurance coverage regardless of whether you caused the car accident. This can cover your medical bills and property damages up to your policy’s maximum.

A no-fault insurance claim might be appropriate if you caused the accident or the other driver does not have enough insurance.

Fault-based insurance allows you to file a claim with the at-fault driver’s insurance company instead. The other driver will pay for your damages up to his or her policy’s maximum if the insurance company accepts your claim.

Your insurer will then cover any remaining damages if the other party does not have enough insurance. Under the fault-based system, you also bear the right to take the guilty driver to trial to attempt to obtain greater compensation.

Although a trial does not have guaranteed results, it could pay you more money than a no-fault insurance claim in Oregon.

I was involved in a serious auto accident. Not that there is a good time to be in any accident, it just happened to be 2020. Tillman Law and support staff kept me in the loop as the court system was disarray with all the Covid issues. The staff was very professional and courteous. In a nutshell, they took care of me.

My husband was in a bad car accident a few years back, and he was stopped due to traffic. He was behind a fuel truck, and someone rear-ended him, going 60mph. The worst part was our 6 mo old was in our and the truck was totaled beyond repair and my husbands back injured severly he ended up with 2 broken vertebrae. Our child had ptsd any time getting into a vehicle after that. Tillman made this right even though we couldn't do much for our son other comfort him and make car rides more comfortable from there on out Tillman was able to get my husband the money he deserved after the other driver was extremely negligent and either not paying attention or on his phone or something unfortunately this was during covid and when the police came they didnt do a single thing to check for any of that. We can't say enough good things about Aaron Tillman he gave us our hope back and the ability to have back surgery to repair a lot of his back issues due to the car wreck. So if you have been in an accident definitely call Tillman Law they're amazing super professional, kind and empathetic beings who will work for the best possible outcome for your case and fight they won't just roll over and play dead they spent about 2.5 years on my husbands case never giving up. He was always super honest with my husband and always communicated everything. So again, thank you, Aaron Tillman, and thank you to your law firm for working so tirelessly. We appreciate it more than you know.

I can’t recommend Tillman Law enough. We were in a sticky situation from a car accident in December and my partner was out of work for over a month. Aaron told us we may not be able to get those lost wages, but he would definitely try to fight the insurance for them and even then we might not see the money for a long time. It’s only been 3 1/2 months since the accident and we just got our lost funds today. Tillman Law was quick, efficient, and made this entire situation much less painful. I appreciate everything they’ve done for us.
