In Oregon, the civil justice system allows you to secure compensation for something such as a pedestrian/bus accident. When someone else’s negligence causes an injury, the victim can recover compensation by bringing a civil claim. Your ability to receive a monetary award, however, depends on how well you or your personal injury lawyer can prove your case and damages. Your lawyer has to establish negligence and fault before you can achieve a settlement or jury verdict. Proving a bus accident case generally requires four elements.
At Paulson Coletti, “liberty and justice for all” is more than just a phrase – it is our mandate. Our team of trial lawyers is driven to pursue justice for the injured, ensuring that the responsible parties are held accountable. With a high success rate both in and out of the courtroom, you can trust our Oregon personal injury lawyers to be the legal advocates you need so your voice can be heard.
“Most cases settle, but each of our cases is prepared as if it’s going to trial. The insurance companies know it and so do the defense lawyers defending them. That’s why we get such great results for our clients.”
It is your right as an injured bus accident victim to bring a cause of action against the person or party who caused the pedestrian collision. With assistance from a Portland pedestrian accident lawyer at Paulson Coletti Trial Attorneys PC, you can prove the fault of the defendant and recover compensation for your past and future losses as an injured pedestrian. These can include medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Discuss your rights as a pedestrian in more detail with one of our attorneys today.
It is important to speak to a lawyer as soon as you can after getting injured in a pedestrian/bus accident in Oregon. Tight deadlines may apply to your case. These deadlines, known as statutes of limitations, are in place to keep the justice system more just for both sides. The general personal injury statute of limitations in Oregon is two years, meaning you would have two years from the date of your crash to file a lawsuit. If, however, your bus accident case involves TriMet, streetcars, WES Commuter Rail, MAX Light Rail or another public transportation system, your deadline will be shorter. Cases against the government have just 180 days for filing.
If a distracted bus driver, reckless vehicle driver or negligent bus company caused your Oregon bus accident and related injuries as a pedestrian, contact Paulson Coletti Trial Attorneys PC to help you file a claim. Our local bus accident lawyers have experience litigating and winning these types of cases. We know how to collect evidence, present it to a jury, negotiate with insurance companies and take care of your pedestrian accident claim from start to finish. Talk to our attorneys for free today.
