Colliding with the rear of another driver
“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.”
Other common causes of Eugene car accidents include crossing animals, bad weather, drunk driving, crashes with trucks, roadway defects (e.g. potholes and loose gravel) and vehicle defects. Identifying the cause of your recent car accident is a task we can take over for you at Paulson Coletti Trial Attorneys PC. Then, we can help you go up against that party for compensation.
Oregon uses traditional fault-based insurance laws, with a twist. It is not a true no-fault state, but it does require all insurance policies to contain no-fault insurance (personal injury protection coverage). After an accident, a driver in Oregon can decide whether to file an insurance claim with his or her provider or to bring a lawsuit against the at-fault party. The right move for your case will depend on many factors, including the seriousness of your injuries and insurance coverage available. Our attorneys can help you determine the correct path for you.
If you wish to bring a claim against the at-fault driver, you must do so within two years of the auto accident. This is Oregon’s personal injury claim statute of limitations, with a few exceptions. You will file your claim by filling out the correct paperwork, naming the defendant in your claim and submitting it to the Lane County civil courts by your deadline. The lawyers at Paulson Coletti Trial Attorneys PC can help you with each step of the filing process. Then, we can help you fight for full compensation.
If a driver, car manufacturer, property owner, employer, company, individual or the City of Eugene reasonably should have prevented your recent car accident, Oregon’s civil laws may entitle you to financial compensation for your damages. The award you receive might cover your vehicle repairs, medical bills, lost wages, physical pain and emotional suffering. Ask about the potential value of your car accident claim in Eugene today. We know how to maximize recovery awards using proven legal strategies. Schedule a free consultation at Paulson Coletti Trial Attorneys PC today.
