Causes of Highway Crashes in Portland, Oregon 

Many of the most dangerous roads in Oregon are highways. For example, Sunset Highway approaching Vista Ridge Tunnels has a high rate of traffic accidents. 

Highway conditions often contribute to the cause of a crash. Heavy traffic, road conditions, and adverse weather can be factors in the cause of a highway crash. Portland ranked 12th worst city for traffic congestion in a recent report. 

However, many of the highway accidents in Portland are caused by driver negligence. Examples of driver negligence include:

  • Distracted driving, including texting while driving and using a cell phone
  • Road rage and aggressive driving
  • Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
  • Speeding and reckless driving
  • Drowsy and fatigued driving
  • Failing to follow Oregon traffic laws, including improper lane changes and tailgating 

Most highway crashes can be avoided if drivers exercise reasonable care. Oregon is an at-fault state for car accident claims. Therefore, drivers are required to have a minimum amount of liability insurance coverage.

You can file an insurance claim with the other driver’s insurance provider. You can also sue a driver for damages when the driver breaches their duty of care. 

What Damages Can I Recover for a Portland Highway Accident Claim?

Highway crashes have a high risk of causing catastrophic injuries. Victims may sustain traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations, and other life-threatening injuries. 

An injured party can experience intense pain and suffering and other non-economic damages. They may also incur substantial economic damages.

Examples of damages you could receive for an Oregon highway crash case include:

The compensation you receive for a highway crash claim depends on the severity of your injuries and other factors. Our legal team works with you and your doctors to determine the severity of your injuries and damages. We work to recover a settlement that compensates you for all damages. 

What Is the Deadline To File a Highway Crash Claim in Portland, OR?

Oregon’s statute of limitations for most car accident cases is two years. The time begins with the date of the accident. If you file your lawsuit after the deadline, the court can dismiss your case.

Prompt legal advice can help you avoid losing your right to pursue a court case. It also helps build a stronger case because your lawyer can work quickly to gather and preserve evidence proving causation, fault, and liability.

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.
