Oregon Car Accident Lawyer Resources

Oregon car accident law rests on three features that quietly decide the outcome of almost every claim: a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury, a modified comparative fault rule that bars recovery if you are more than 50% at fault, and mandatory Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage on every auto policy. Understand those three things, and you understand why insurers move so quickly after an Oregon crash: the evidence window is short, the fault lines are sharp, and PIP dollars burn fast.

From the I-5 corridor between Portland and Eugene to the winding stretches of Highway 26 heading to the coast, Oregon's crash profile is shaped by weather, terrain, and traffic. Wet-weather rear-end collisions, interstate merge crashes, rural two-lane head-ons, and crashes involving commercial trucks on mountain passes are among the most common cases we see. Every Oregon auto policy must include at least $15,000 in PIP medical benefits, plus mandatory uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage, all of which play into how a serious injury claim is built and paid.

I am George Goldberg, founding partner of Goldberg & Loren. In more than 32 years and over 20,000 injury cases, my firm has handled Oregon car accident claims from small rear-end cases to catastrophic wrongful death actions. I started on the defense side in 1994, representing airlines in injury litigation, before switching to represent plaintiffs in 1996. I know exactly how insurers evaluate and defend Oregon crash cases, and that perspective shows up in every file we handle.
