How Our Portland Car Accident Attorneys Can Help You Following an Intersection Crash

How Our Portland Car Accident Attorneys Can Help You Following an Intersection Crash

Intersections are a common location for car crashes. In fact, more than 50 percent of crashes that result in injury or death occur at or near intersections. It’s understandable, considering the changing traffic lights and the number of maneuvering options. This is especially true in busy cities like Portland, Oregon.

When drivers try to beat traffic lights or disregard yielding rules, accidents happen and lead to injuries and even death. Our Portland personal injury lawyers have seen this happen time and again. We understand the devastation car accidents can have on your life. That’s why we work hard to ensure that our clients get the justice and fair compensation they deserve.

If you choose to place your case in the compassionate and competent hands of our car accident lawyers, here’s what you can expect us to do for you:

  • Conduct an independent investigation into the crash
  • Gather and analyze evidence, including police reports, medical records, witness statements, and surveillance footage at the site
  • Engage leading Portland experts to provide testimony on your behalf
  • Work with you to develop a strong legal strategy
  • Negotiate with insurance companies and other parties to maximize your compensation

If the insurance companies won’t play fair, we’ll take them to court, and you can count on us to skillfully represent you at trial. 

Throughout the process, you can rest assured that we will keep you informed and involved in all major decisions regarding your case. Call our Portland intersection crash lawyers today for a free initial consultation.

What Causes Intersection Collisions?

As with any accident, intersection crashes are caused by a number of factors, such as speeding, disregarding traffic laws, and driving under the influence.

Other possible causes include:

  • Reckless driving
  • Distracted driving
  • Mechanical failure
  • Malfunctioning traffic lights 
  • Low visibility
  • Confusing road design (turnabouts)
  • Texting while driving

Inclement weather or poor road conditions can also play a role at intersections, causing cars to lose control.

Which Portland Intersections Are the Most Dangerous?

With high numbers of crashes between 2015 and 2019, the following Portland intersections are especially dangerous:

  • SE 122nd Ave. & Stark St.
  • SE 122nd Ave. & Division St.
  • SE 82nd Ave. & Powell Blvd.
  • SE 148th Ave. & Stark St.
  • SE 148th Ave. & Powell Blvd.
  • NE 82nd Ave. & Glisan St.
  • SE Foster Rd. / 96th Ave. / I-205 northbound ramp
  • NE 99th Ave. & Glisan St.
  • SE 92nd Ave. & Holgate Blvd.
  • SE 122nd Ave. & Powell Blvd.
  • SE Division St. & I-205 southbound ramp

While there is never a guarantee of safety, knowing which intersections might pose the greatest danger can help you prepare to be extra cautious.

What Kinds of Injuries Happen in Intersection Crashes?

The severity of car accident injuries often depends on factors such as vehicle size, the speed at the time of impact, and proper use of safety features such as airbags and seat belts. 

Intersection crash injuries could include: 

  • Brain injuries
  • Broken bones
  • Back injuries
  • Injuries to the head and neck 
  • Severe burns 
  • Paralysis
  • Internal bleeding
  • Organ damage
  • Cuts and bruises
  • Whiplash

Whether you suffered these or other injuries, you can rest assured that our Portland intersection crash attorneys have seen it all. We know how to determine the value of your injuries when we calculate the compensation to demand.

What To Do If You’re in an Intersection Crash in Portland, Oregon

After being in a Portland intersection crash, you may feel disoriented and have difficulty thinking straight. However, taking the right steps after an accident can help preserve evidence and protect your rights in the event you choose to pursue legal action.

The following are steps to take if you’ve been in an accident:

  • Check on others involved in the crash to determine if they need immediate assistance

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.
