Injury Law 101

Imagine this scenario—you’re out enjoying a bike ride around Portland, taking in the fresh air and beautiful scenery. A car comes from nowhere and knocks you down.

When the rubber meets the road, you expect your car to be a safe mode of transport. Among the many features designed to protect you, airbags are heralded as life-saving technologies. However, when an airbag fails or, worse, causes an injury, the situation quickly flips from safety to liability.

In Oregon, we're fortunate to have specific laws that prioritize the safety of children while they're on the move. Obviously, traditional seat belts just aren't tailored to provide children with the protection they need.

Car accidents alter a person’s life — a person’s well-being — in the blink of an eye. As Portland’s population continues to grow, and as the number of commuters grows with it, the image of an upturned SUV on the side of the highway has become far too common.
