Oregon Car Accidents
An Oregon injury crash can be a devastating event for both victims and their families. According to the Oregon Department of Transportation, over 25,000 crash victims were injured in accidents that took place across our state in 2019. Since that time, the number of serious and fatal crashes has continued to increase. Most Oregon car accidents happen because of the negligence of at least one motorist. While each accident must be carefully investigated, many collisions are caused by distracted or reckless drivers who are actively violating traffic laws at the time of the crash.
