A rear-end collision can badly damage more than your vehicle. One moment you’re stopped at a light or slowing in traffic, and the next you’re dealing with pain, mounting medical bills, and a wrecked car. Sometimes the worst part comes the morning after, when the stiffness and soreness finally set in.
If you’ve been hit from behind, you shouldn’t have to navigate the aftermath alone. At Youd Law, Lance Youd is dedicated to representing persons injured in rear-end accidents and has represented accident victims for over 32 years. You want an attorney who fights for people in your situation so you can focus on healing while we handle the rest.
Rear-end accidents are one of the most common types of crashes on Oregon roads. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), rear-end collisions account for roughly 29% of all significant traffic crashes nationwide. In Salem and surrounding areas, they happen on busy streets, in parking lots, and even in residential neighborhoods.
Common causes include:
No matter what caused the collision, an experienced rear-end car accident lawyer can help you understand your options.
In Oregon, the trailing driver is generally presumed to be at fault. But fault isn’t always black and white. There are exceptions; for example, if the lead vehicle had broken brake lights or reversed suddenly.
That’s why having a knowledgeable rear-end collision attorney matters. Lance will investigate the details of your case, gather evidence, review police reports, and, when necessary, work with accident reconstruction experts to build the strongest possible claim on your behalf.
Some rear-end accident injuries are obvious immediately. Others take hours or even days to surface. That’s why we always encourage accident victims to seek medical attention as soon as possible, even if they feel okay in the moment.
Injuries we commonly see include:
As your rear-end accident lawyer, Lance understands how these injuries affect your daily life, and he’ll make sure the full scope of your damages is reflected in your claim.
If someone else’s negligence caused your collision, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, vehicle repairs, pain and suffering, and more. Every case is different, but Lance and his team will calculate the true value of your claim, including future costs you may not have considered yet.
Insurance companies have their own interests in mind. A skilled rear-end collision lawyer makes sure someone is looking out for you.
At Youd Law, you’re not just a case number. Lance gives every client the personal attention and honest guidance they need during one of the hardest times of their lives. He knows the insurance playbook, and he’s not afraid to push back to get you what you’re owed.
