Car accidents in Portland and throughout Oregon can lead to serious injuries, property damage, and emotional trauma. If another party’s negligence caused your collision, Oregon law grants you the right to seek compensation.
Common causes of car accidents include:
Texting, talking on the phone, or other activities that take a driver’s attention off the road are leading causes of accidents in Portland and across Oregon.
Operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs is a primary factor behind many serious car accidents in Oregon, often resulting in severe injuries and substantial property damage.
Speeding, aggressive maneuvers, and violations of traffic laws frequently lead to collisions, potentially causing severe harm to those involved.
Faulty airbags, seatbelts, or tires can contribute to an accident by failing at critical moments. If a defective part caused or exacerbated your injuries, you may have grounds for a product liability or personal injury claim in Oregon.
First, ensure everyone’s safety and call 911 if needed. Exchange contact and insurance information with all involved parties, and document the scene with photos and witness statements. Then, consult a qualified car accident attorney for legal guidance.
Oregon follows a comparative negligence rule, which means compensation is determined by each party’s level of fault. Insurance policies and state laws play key roles in covering medical bills, lost wages, and other damages.
Generally, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. Claims for property damage may follow different timelines, so consulting an attorney is crucial to understand your deadlines.
Oregon requires uninsured motorist coverage, which can help pay for your damages if the at-fault driver lacks insurance. An attorney can help you navigate these claims to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
Our firm is equipped to handle a wide range of car accident cases, including:
Often caused by distracted or tailgating drivers.
Frequently result in severe injuries due to high impact.
Occur when drivers fail to yield or run red lights.
Can be caused by vehicle defects or hazardous road conditions.
We work to identify the responsible party and pursue justice.
Holding intoxicated drivers accountable for their actions.
Helping you navigate claims when the at-fault driver lacks adequate insurance.
Your health is the top priority. Get a thorough medical evaluation, even if injuries seem minor.
If possible, take photos of the accident scene, vehicle damage, and any visible injuries.
Collect contact and insurance information from all involved parties and witnesses.
Do not discuss fault with other drivers or insurance adjusters.
Before speaking with insurance companies, consult with us to protect your rights.
Oregon follows a modified comparative negligence rule. This means you can recover damages as long as you are not more than 50% at fault for the accident. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are found 20% at fault, your award will be reduced by 20%.
We strive to recover full and fair compensation for all your losses, which may include:
Past and future costs for hospital stays, surgeries, medications, and rehabilitation.
Income lost due to inability to work during recovery.
If your injuries affect your ability to earn in the future.
Repair or replacement costs for your vehicle.
Compensation for physical pain and emotional distress.
When injuries hinder your ability to engage in activities you once enjoyed.
In cases of gross negligence or intentional misconduct, additional damages may be awarded to punish the at-fault party.
Insurance companies often aim to minimize payouts. They may employ tactics such as:
Proposing a low settlement before the full extent of your injuries is known.
Slowing down the process in hopes you’ll accept a lower offer.
Trying to place undue blame on you to reduce their payout.
Huegli Law will handle all communications with insurance adjusters, protecting your interests and negotiating assertively on your behalf.
In Oregon, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. It’s crucial to act promptly to preserve evidence and ensure all legal deadlines are met.
We offer an initial, no-obligation case evaluation to discuss your situation. You will speak directly with Todd Huegli, not screened by staff.
Gathering evidence, including police reports, witness statements, and medical records.
Working with accident reconstructionists and medical professionals to strengthen your case.
Crafting a personalized approach to maximize your compensation.
We prepare every case as if it will go to trial. In our experience, seeking a settlement encourages low offers from insurance companies. We believe you are in control, not the insurance company.

We are here to help you navigate this challenging journey with compassion and dedication.
