Yes, car insurance can cover pedestrian accidents in Oregon. The at-fault driver's insurance is responsible for covering the pedestrian's expenses such as medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. However, if you need immediate medical assistance your own auto insurance (if available) will cover injury related expenses.
Yes, you may still file a claim in Oregon even if you were jaywalking. Oregon follows a modified comparative negligence rule, which means you can recover compensation as long as you are not more than 51% at fault for the accident. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are found 25% at fault for jaywalking and your total settlement amount is $40,000, your compensation would be reduced by 25%, leaving you with $30,000. An Oregon pedestrian accident lawyer can help you navigate these laws, assess your level of fault, and work to maximize the compensation you receive.
Yes, you can file a claim after a hit-and-run accident in Oregon, if you carry uninsured motorist (UM) insurance. UM insurance can help cover your medical bills, lost wages, and other injury related expenses. An Oregon pedestrian accident lawyer can guide you through the claims process and help you explore all avenues to compensation.
Our Oregon pedestrian accident lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront. Instead, we take a percentage of your settlement or court award, typically ranging from 33% to 40%, depending on the complexity of the case. We don't get paid, unless you win. It's that simple.
The time it takes to settle a pedestrian accident case depends on factors like the severity of injuries, recovery time, the complexity of the case, and whether liability is disputed. Simple cases may settle in months, while more complex cases or those that go to trial could take a year or longer.
After a pedestrian accident, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, including hospital visits and rehabilitation costs, as well as lost wages if your injuries prevent you from working. Compensation can also cover the physical and emotional toll of the accident, often referred to as pain and suffering. The exact amount will depend on the severity of your injuries and the specifics of the accident.
