All drivers in Oregon have to carry automotive insurance in at least the minimum required amounts. Failing to do so is an infraction punishable with fines and potentially the loss of the driver’s license. Unfortunately, hundreds of drivers break the rules and drive uninsured in Oregon every day. If one of these negligent drivers crashes into you, the claims process can be confusing.
At Paulson Coletti Trial Attorneys PC, we can help you with a car accident claim involving an uninsured or underinsured driver. If you have personal injuries from an uninsured driver, we can explain your legal options at no charge or obligation during a free initial consultation. Contact us today to schedule your meeting in Salem, Oregon.
It can be even more difficult than normal to seek compensation after a collision with an uninsured driver. The at-fault driver’s lack of car insurance will eliminate this as an option for your financial recovery. You may need to look to your own auto insurer for coverage instead. A lawyer can help you negotiate with your insurance provider for a fair amount of compensation. A lawyer can also investigate for signs of a third party’s fault, such as the city or an automaker. Your attorney can seek maximum compensation for you while you rest and recover.
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.
Oregon is unique in that it offers no-fault insurance, but it is not a true no-fault state. Oregon’s auto insurance law requires at least $25,000 in bodily injury/death coverage per person, $50,000 per accident and $25,000 for property damages. Drivers must also carry $15,000 in personal injury protection (PIP) insurance and $25,000 per person/$50,000 per accident in uninsured motorist insurance.
After a vehicle collision, you have the right to hold the at-fault driver financially accountable. His or her bodily injury and property damage liability should cover your damages. If the other driver is uninsured, however, you may need to seek coverage from your PIP and uninsured motorist insurance instead. Personal injury protection will pay for your medical expenses and other costs after an accident, whether you caused the crash or not. Uninsured motorist insurance can also pay for your medical bills if the other driver does not have insurance.
The lawyers from Paulson Coletti Trial Attorneys PC can help you with the insurance claims process after a crash with an uninsured driver. We can negotiate with your insurance provider on your behalf to make sure an adjuster does not take advantage of you. We can also investigate the possibility of bringing a personal injury lawsuit against someone other than the uninsured driver. If a third party contributed to your crash or injuries, a lawsuit may provide greater compensation for your damages.
“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.”
