Oregon Truck Accident Lawyer

Personal Injury Lawyers in the Major Portland OR Metro Area

There are few things in life more terrifying than being involved in a serious automobile accident involving a large truck, semi-truck, or 18-wheeler. More often than not, accidents involving trucks result in serious injuries or death.

Road Safety Matters

The Consequences of Unsafe Truck Driving

The consequences associated with these types of accidents are generally extreme and can include:

Trauma
Stress
Permanent injuries
Chronic pain
Excessive medical bills
Job loss and much more

If you have been involved in a truck accident, you are entitled to compensation for your pain and suffering. There are options when it comes to dealing with the aftermath of a serious truck accident and it is important that you get the compensation that you deserve. A semi-truck accident attorney can help assess your case and work with you after any incident.

The Risks on the Road

Truck Driver Fatigue

Unfortunately, truck driver fatigue is a common problem in the United States and is responsible for a high number of tractor trailer accidents every year resulting in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration imposing laws mandating that truck drivers get ample rest in between long haul driving shifts.

Despite the laws surrounding truck driving, truck drivers still sometimes fall asleep behind the wheel. If you or someone you love has been affected by an accident caused by truck driver fatigue, consult a truck accident attorney to evaluate your options for proper compensation today.

Protecting Your Rights

Steps to Take After a Truck Accident

Immediately after a truck accident:

Contact the police and file a formal report.
Get medical attention immediately and document all injuries through photos.
Be sure to exchange contact and insurance information with all parties involved.
Consult an experienced semi-truck accident attorney to evaluate your options.

It is in your best interest to consult an experienced trucking accident attorney well versed in truck accident injury. The at-fault insurance company will try to persuade you to not pursue the compensation you deserve. Don’t let insurance companies take advantage of you; get a legal professional on your side! Hiring a truck accident attorney will mean that they take care of all accident communications, so you don’t have to deal with the stress of talking to people who do not have your best interest in mind. A competent semi-truck accident attorney with experience in truck accident law can ensure you are protected and get the compensation that you rightfully deserve.

				I worked with Bradley Sands. He helped me with my personal injury settlement. Very simple, straightforward, and was even glad to educate+instruct me on things. He also made sure to cover all bases and that I’d receive proper compensation—without paying for any medical expenses resulting from the accident. Overall, it became a lot less stressful on my end.

				My case took almost 2 years because my treatment took long, but Matthew was very patient and kept the tracks of the treatments and the billings. For the mediation both Matthew and Bradley prepared me for the meeting since that was my first time and I am very pleased with the results. I have already referred a couple of friends of mine to them.

				I was in two car accidents in less than a year. Dealing with the insurance companies became overwhelming. Once I called Matt, I was able to just focus on recovering from my injuries. Matt and Lisa had great communication with me throughout both cases. If you were like me and on the fence about if your accident warranted a lawyer, call Matt.
