Common Car Accident Injuries

Car accidents generate incredible force, even at relatively low speeds. The forces can easily injure a motorist, regardless of whether they are wearing a seatbelt or have an airbag deploy.

Many of our clients are struggling with:

Burns
Lacerations or abrasions
Soft-tissue injuries
Contusions
Head injuries
Whiplash and other neck injury
Concussions or traumatic brain injuries
Fractures
Organ damage
Compressed nerves
Back injuries
Spinal column injuries

It is not unusual to require expensive medical treatment. Some of our clients struggle for months to regain their ability to return to normal life.

How Our Portland Car Accident Lawyer Can Help You

To obtain compensation, you need to show who was at fault for the crash. Oregon is a fault state, so only a motorist who is at fault must pay compensation. Fault can be shared, and you could partially be at fault as well. Under Oregon law, you can receive compensation so long as you are not more than 50% at fault.

Attorney Youd understands the ins and outs of Oregon car accident law. He will help you build up the factual basis for the claim. He can interview witnesses, visit the scene, and inspect any vehicles involved, and review the accident report. He will also work with medical experts to understand and analyze your injuries and recovery.

Negotiating a settlement is hard work. Insurers routinely deny even valid claims and usually undervalue a person’s injuries. Instead of being insulted by a lowball offer, reach out to a seasoned lawyer for help.

Lance Youd knows the tricks insurers use, and he isn’t afraid to counter them. He can aggressively negotiate a settlement and even file a lawsuit in court. Everything his law firm does is focused on obtaining justice for you.
