Underride accidents are motor vehicle accidents where a smaller vehicle becomes trapped under a larger truck or trailer. These types of accidents are among the most catastrophic on our roads. In these accidents, the lower section of the car slides under the truck, often resulting in severe injuries, and in some cases, fatalities. Given the devastation that these accidents often cause, victims need a skilled truck accident attorney so that they may secure all the possible compensation needed to cover their damages.

Underride accidents present unique legal challenges. They often involve complex federal transportation regulations and require a thorough investigation and expert testimony to determine fault and liability. Given the complex nature of these cases, the help of a skilled Portland truck accident lawyer is crucial to navigate the nuances and advocate effectively for the rights of the victims.
An underride accident can occur due to a variety of reasons. Common causes of underride accidents include:
The consequences for the victims of an underride accident are usually severe, ranging from life-altering injuries to fatalities. Also, the physical, emotional, and financial toll on affected families is often substantial, underscoring the need for comprehensive legal support to recover compensation and hold the responsible parties accountable.
Victims of underride accidents are entitled to seek compensation for their losses. This can include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and, in tragic cases, compensation for wrongful death. Determining the value of a claim involves a comprehensive assessment of the impact on the victim’s life, both immediately and in the long term.
“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.”
Insurance companies and trucking firms often employ tactics to minimize their liability and reduce the amount they have to pay for accident claims. Paulson Coletti is adept at countering these strategies. We focus on protecting our clients’ rights and fighting for them to receive the maximum compensation available under the law.
