Josephine County, OR (August, 11) — On Wednesday afternoon, August 10th, at around 4:55 pm, Oregon State Police and emergency crews were dispatched to the scene of a fatal two-vehicle crash on US 199 close to milepost 6.

Early investigations show that Robert Clair, age 31, was operating a Ford 550 pickup traveling southbound from Grant pass. Clair crossed the center line of the highway and collided with Johnny Porter, age 45, who was driving northbound on a Harley Davidson motorcycle. 

Porter was ejected from the motorcycle upon impact and pronounced deceased at the scene by emergency crews. Clair did not sustain any injuries from the accident.

We would like to offer our deepest and most sincere condolences to the loved ones of Johnny Porter.

Wrongful Death Claims in the State of Oregon. 

Going through the experience of losing a loved one is never easy, regardless of the circumstances. When somebody passes away suddenly and unexpectedly, it can be even harder to cope with the grief. To make matters worse, the process can be very expensive with funeral costs, memorial services, and lost wages. 

A “wrongful death” as defined by Oregon law is a death that is “caused by the wrongful act of omission of another,” when the act or omission would have allowed the person to file a personal injury lawsuit had he or she survived, (Or. Rev. Stat. § 30.020 (2021).

Put simply, wrongful death is when somebody dies as a result of the legal fault of another person or entity. Most cases of wrongful death involve auto accidents, where one party is killed due to the negligence or recklessness of another driver on the road.

In Oregon, the wrongful death laws allow for the deceased party’s family to file a lawsuit if the victim died as a direct result of another person or entity’s accidental or intentional act.

A civil wrongful death case is different from criminal prosecution for homicide in that a criminal case can end with jail time and other criminal charges. A civil wrongful death suit typically ends with one party having to pay damages to another. However, a defendant can be sued for both a civil wrongful death and a criminal wrongful death at the same time.

As with other personal injury claims, wrongful death claims are all about determining liability. That liability is expressed in terms of financial compensation, referred to as “damages” that the court orders the defendant to pay to the deceased person’s survivors or estate.

There is a lot to take in, learn, and understand about wrongful death claims in Oregon, and if you have recently lost a loved one, it is understandable for you to feel overwhelmed and lost in the process. That is why it is highly recommended to hire an experienced Oregon wrongful death attorney to help guide you through the process.

Portland, OR (August, 10) — Yesterday, Tuesday, August 9th, at approximately noon, a pin-in crash with injuries was reported on NE 181/Oregon

Fire, police, and medical teams all arrived on the scene where they administered aid to the injured.

Police investigations are still in their early stages at the time of writing. As such, the names of the victims and the extent of their injuries are currently unknown.

Our hearts are with the victims and their families, as we wish them all the best of luck in recovering from this unfortunate accident.

Injury Accidents in the State of Oregon. 

Being injured in an auto accident can be a very trying time in a person’s life. It isn’t something anyone ever expects or plans on happening to them, and the consequences can be life-changing.   

The good news is that, in Oregon, the process of filing personal injury claims is much more accommodating than in some other states. On an average year, about 31,000 people sustain injuries from auto accidents in the state of Oregon. Something unnerving to consider is that many of the victims of these accidents were not the ones responsible for the crash.

Many accidents are unfortunately caused by the carelessness of other drivers. Things like reckless and irresponsible driving account for a significant portion of crashes every year. Drunk driving, distracted driving, and speeding are among the most common types of reckless driving that cause accidents in Oregon.

In Oregon car accidents, unlike in some other states, a victim can still receive compensation even if they are found partially liable. If you have been injured in an auto accident in Oregon, it is wise to consult with an experienced Oregon personal injury attorney. Not only can a lawyer take a lot off your plate by dealing with insurance companies, and the courts, but they can also help you know if you have a solid case, to begin with.

Here at Johnson & Taylor, it is our core belief that victims of auto accident injuries should be able to completely focus on their healing and recuperating. We know from years of experience just how hard injuries are on families, which is why we offer free consultations so that there is no financial risk for you to have your case assessed.

Dealing with insurance companies and the courts on your own can prove exhausting, and, likely, you will not receive your maximum possible compensation. With a lawyer by your side, you can rest assured that a professional who knows the ins and outs of the process has your back.

Prineville, OR (August, 9) — According to reports from officials, a 45-year-old man was arrested Saturday, August 9th for his involvement in a crash that took place at about 1:25 p.m. The man was charged with drunken and reckless driving among other charges, while six victims were rushed to an area hospital. The incident occurred at the intersection of N Main Street and Terrace Land.

Official investigations concluded that the driver of a 2014 GMC pickup truck had crossed over the center line before turning left when he collided head-on with a small Dodge SUV headed south on Main Street.

The operator of the pickup truck was rushed to St. Charles Prineville where he was evaluated for injuries, before being sent to Crook County Jail on various charges including DUI, third-degree assault, reckless driving and recklessly endangering another person.

Five other victims on the scene were transported to St. Charles Prineville as well, where they were evaluated and treated.

Our thought are with the injured victims. We hope for their full recovery.  

Reckless and Drunk Driving in the State of Oregon. 

Auto accidents happen fast and are not something anybody ever hopes or expects to be involved in. Sadly though, injury crashes are a part of life and happen every day. Some accidents are avoidable though. 

Paying attention while driving, obeying speed limits, and being cautious are all great preventive measures. However, some accidents, especially ones involving intoxicated drivers, aren’t as easy to avoid.

The good news is, for Oregonians, Oregon is considered to be one of the most accommodating states for personal injury claims. Every year in Oregon, roughly 31,000 people are injured in auto accidents. 

Sustaining injuries from an auto accident involving a drunk driver can be quite tough for the victim. Not only do they have to cope with whatever physical pain they are in, but they can also miss out on work, and rack up significant amounts of medical debt which makes the situation they’re in that much worse. 

Contacting an experienced Oregon  drunk driving accident attorney can help out with navigating through these tough situations and receiving the financial compensation you deserve.

Here at Johnson & Taylor, we believe that all victims of vehicular accidents should be able to heal and process the situation calmly, without getting bogged down in dealing with the courts and insurance companies. It’s unlikely for you to get your best deal on your own. We’re tough negotiators with years of experience in mediation and we know how to push hard for a good settlement.

You don’t need to worry about the price tag with us, because we provide free consultations so that you can find out if we’re a good fit for you or not. One of our attorneys will go over the details of your case and assess your options for compensation. From there, you can move forward confidently with an experienced lawyer by your side.

We want to make dealing with this process as easy as possible so you can focus on your recovery. Contact us today through the link on our website or by calling (503) 990-6641.

Portland, OR (August, 8) — Earlier this morning, Monday, August 8th, at approximately 6:45 a.m., an auto accident with injuries was reported on N. Marine Dr near Jantzen Beach.

Emergency crews were quickly dispatched to the scene, administering aid to the victims. 

Police are currently investigating this incident, and at the time of reporting, the names of the victims and the extent of their injuries are unavailable.

Our thoughts are with the victims and their families. We hope they receive a full recovery.

Injury Accidents in the State of Oregon. 

Auto accidents are a fact of life and something that can happen to anyone at nearly any time. Even though auto accidents are such a common occurrence, not many people ever assume it will happen to them, nor are most people prepared to deal with the injuries that can occur. 

Luckily for Oregonians, Oregon is one of the most accommodating states for personal injury claims. The state of Oregon sees approximately 31,000 people sustain significant injuries every year from auto accidents. What makes this statistic more unnerving is the fact that many of these victims were not responsible for causing the accident that they were injured in.

Reckless and irresponsible driving is one of the most significant elements of an auto accident, and also the most difficult to be prepared for and react to. Drunk driving, distracted driving, and speeding are all common forms of reckless driving that exist on Oregon roads.

The good news is that even if you are partially at fault in an Oregon auto accident, it is still within the realm of possibilities to receive compensation for whatever damages you have suffered. Consulting with an experienced Oregon personal injury attorney can help you navigate your rights and receive your rightful compensation.

Having a personal injury lawyer by your side is important because injuries have consequences outside of just physical pain. Beyond pain, injuries are also expensive. Expenses like doctor visits, ambulance transportation, surgery, physical therapy, and other costs can quickly add up into a stressful financial burden. 

If medical bills and costs weren’t enough, auto accident injury victims often miss out on their normal work shifts. Losing out on wages that a victim would otherwise count on earning, add even more financial stress to an already incredibly stressful situation.

It is important not to allow yourself to feel stuck or trapped in medical debt because of your injuries. Remember that there is always a path forward, and a severe injury does not have to dictate your future. Our team of highly qualified attorneys can help guide you through this process and show you just how many options are still available to you.

Even though, as an injury victim, this is likely the most overwhelming time in your life, hiring a lawyer can be exactly the action necessary to get everything in your life back on track. Trying to deal with insurance companies and the courts while also dealing with an injury is too tall of an order for nearly anyone.

Here at Johnson & Taylor, we strongly believe that all victims of auto accidents should be able to focus on their healing and process the entire situation in peace. It is unlikely for you to receive your maximum possible compensation on your own. Our team has years of experience dealing with insurance agents and the courts, and we know how to be tough negotiators.  

There is absolutely no financial risk for you to consult with one of our attorneys. We offer free consultations to all of our potential clients so that they may have their cases examined without the stress of yet another outrageous price tag. From your free consultation, we can assess what compensation you can receive and help you plot a way forward.

Albany, OR (August 7, 2022) – Police near Albany were dispatched to the scene of a fatal accident on Tuesday, August 2nd. The collision happened around 1:15 p.m. on Interstate 5 close to milepost 236.

Oregon Car Accidents

A car accident in Oregon can be a life-altering event. Each time we get behind the wheel of a vehicle, we run the risk of being involved in a car accident. Last year in our state, more than 50,000 collisions were reported. While not every accident will result in injuries, many of them will. In fact, thousands of innocent motorists will be injured when they are involved in a crash with a negligent driver. Some types of negligent driving behavior include reckless driving, speeding, driving while impaired, and texting while driving. Each crash must be carefully investigated by authorities in order to determine which driver should be held responsible.

Following an Oregon car accident, you are likely to have many questions about your future. A crash can mean serious physical injuries along with psychological and emotional pain. The accident may affect each aspect of your life on a daily basis. While things may seem difficult during this time, you should know that you have certain very important legal rights. Under Oregon law, accident victims have the right to bring a claim against the other driver when that driver was at least partially at fault for the collision. The value of your case depends upon the circumstances surrounding the accident.

Car Crash Injuries in the State of Oregon. 

Getting injured in an auto accident is not something anyone expects to happen to them. There is a silver lining for Oregonians though, and that is that Oregon is one of the most accommodating states in the country for personal injury claims.

Every year in Oregon, approximately 31,000 people suffer injuries from auto accidents. That’s a lot of people, and it can be a little unnerving knowing that many of those accidents were caused by actions outside of the victim’s control. 

Unfortunately, one of the most common causes of auto accidents is the reckless and irresponsible driving of other people on the road. Speeding, distracted driving, and driving under the influence are all common factors in Oregon auto accidents.

Even if you are partially responsible or at fault for an accident in Oregon, it is still possible to receive compensation for your damages. Consulting with an experienced Oregon Auto Accident Lawyer can help you become informed of your rights and entitlements in such a situation,

Injuries can have consequences beyond just the obvious physical pain that victims endure. Injuries can also be, unfortunately, very costly. Between doctor check-ups, hospital bills, surgeries, physical therapy, and other costs, a victim can be left with significant financial burdens.

Beyond the price tag of treatments and medications, there is also the issue of missing work and therefore missing out on wages you otherwise would have expected to earn. Hiring a personal injury lawyer can greatly cut back on the stresses of dealing with insurance companies and trying to figure out how to pay for everything.

It is important to not allow yourself to feel stuck or trapped in medical debt because of your injuries. Remember that there is always a path forward, and a serious injury does not have to dictate your future. Our team of highly qualified attorneys can help guide you through this process and show you just how many options are still available to you.

Gresham, OR (August, 4) — On Wednesday, August 3rd, at approximately 2:00 p.m., a crash with injuries was reported at SE 162 and Main in Gresham.

While the extent of injuries suffered is unclear, reports state that two ambulances were dispatched to the scene. It has also been reported that one of the victims had to be extricated from their vehicle. 

Authorities are still investigating this incident, and at this time names of the victims are still unavailable.

Auto Accidents in Oregon. 

Oregon is known for being one of the most accommodating states when it comes to filing personal injury claims. This is a good thing because auto accidents can happen to anybody, and dealing with the aftermath of an injury can be incredibly burdensome. 

Because many victims of auto accident injuries were not actually at fault for the collision, the statistics are only made even more glaring. Every year in Oregon there are approximately 31,000 people who will suffer such injuries in auto accidents.

Reckless and irresponsible driving is one of the most significant causes of auto accidents in the state of Oregon. Speeding, distracted driving, and driving under the influence are all common factors in the anatomy of an auto accident. However, in the state of Oregon, it is still possible to receive compensation even if you are partially at fault. Consulting with an experienced Oregon auto accident lawyer can help you make sense of this whole process.

Injuries can have very serious consequences. Not only do victims have to live with the physical pain, but they can also become financially burdened. Hospital visits, doctor check-ups, physical therapy, and other such activities can rack up a huge bill. Another financial issue is missing work, and therefore missing wages. Hiring a lawyer to negotiate with insurance companies and the courts can take a big weight off your shoulders and ease your financial stresses.

It is of the utmost importance for victims of auto accidents to remember that there is always a way forward. A serious injury does not have to dictate your future. Seeking financial compensation at the behest of a personal injury attorney can open up many doors for you. 

Here at Johnson & Taylor, we believe strongly that every auto accident victim has a path to both physical and financial recovery. We know from years of experience, just how trying these times in life can be for somebody who is coping with a serious injury.

Dealing with insurance companies and courts alone is not advised. That is why we offer free consultations, so that you may have your case assessed without taking any financial risk. A consultation with a personal injury attorney can provide you with many options on how to proceed onward with your life.

We realize that during a time like this, you are likely busy and tired, that is another reason why we offer free consultations.

The suspected drunk driver has not yet been named and it is unclear whether or not they also sustained injuries.

The investigation of this incident is still currently developing. 

Our thoughts are with the injured victim.

Car Accidents in Oregon

Accidents can happen to anyone, anywhere, at just about any time. Luckily for Oregonians, the state of Oregon is among one of the most accommodating states for auto accident victims. 

Oregon sees approximately 31,000 people injured in auto accidents every year. What is unfortunate about this statistic is that many of those accidents were caused by circumstances outside the victim’s control. 

Irresponsible and reckless drivers cause many auto accidents in the state of Oregon. Some of the most common causes of reckless driving include distracted driving, driving under the influence, and speeding. The silver lining of all of this is that consulting with an experienced Oregon auto accident lawyer can help gain victims of these types of accidents financial compensation for their injuries.

Dealing with injuries involves more than just coping with whatever physical pain it may cause. Injuries are also known to be expensive, not only when it comes to medical bills, but also because an injury can cause one to miss work while they take time to recover. 

Serious injuries can cause a chain reaction in the household that affects the victim’s loved ones who may suffer extra stress and emotional distress due to the financial pressure and seeing their loved one go through a tough time.

Just remember that even though you may find yourself injured after an auto accident, there is still hope for you and your future. At Johnson & Taylor law, we believe that every victim has a path forward.

Auto Accidents in Oregon. 

Auto accidents are an unfortunate part of life that anyone can be a part of. The good news is that, for Oregonians, the state of Oregon is considered to be one of the best states for accommodating personal injury victims.

Every year in the state of Oregon, there are approximately 31,000 people every year who suffer injuries in auto accidents. Something staggering to consider is the fact that many of these victims were not at fault for the collision. Crashes are often something completely out of a driver’s control.

One of the biggest causes of auto accidents in the state of Oregon is irresponsible and reckless drivers. Things like speeding, distracted driving, and driving under the influence are all common forms of reckless driving that can have serious consequences. However, even if a driver is partially responsible for a crash, they may still be able to receive compensation. Consulting with an experienced Oregon auto accident lawyer can help make this process clearer for you.

Injuries are a serious matter, not only because of the physical pain they can come with but also because of their financial burden. Things like doctor appointments, surgeries, and loss of work can all tally up to quite a hefty price tag. Hiring a lawyer to deal with insurance companies and the courts can make a huge difference in your peace of mind and financial security.
