This accident occurred after a driver pulled over because of a flat tire on I-84 about 40 miles east of The Dalles. An ODOT worker stopped to help, blocking the right lane of travel with a large electronic reader board alerting oncoming traffic to move over. Despite this signal, another driver hit the rear of the ODOT truck and hit both the stranded driver and ODOT worker. Read on: https://birdeye.cx/hs24vb

If you are seriously hurt in an accident involving TriMet, you should know that these cases are different from ordinary vehicle accident civil suits, and having legal representation from a lawyer experienced in these matters can be essential.

You deserve an attorney who knows how to investigate properly — including obtaining copies of the driver’s driving record, training records, and the bus’s performance and maintenance history — to assess whether the true causes for the accident are actually more complicated or more numerous.

We can help you overcome the unique hurdles that can come with a case like this. Call us at (503) 226-3844 today to schedule your free consultation. https://birdeye.cx/sc7wq6

"Can I just represent myself? Why would I need a lawyer?"

If you are not represented by a lawyer, the other side knows that you have less leverage.

Kaplan Law has the expertise in building cases from the ground up, evaluating cases in terms of liability, what they are worth, and dealing with insurance tactics designed to make most injury victims want to quit. Your primary leverage to being treated fairly is to file a lawsuit and take your case to either an arbitrator or a jury.

Over the July 4th weekend, a single-vehicle crash on I-82 in Umatilla County left one man dead and three others injured. Investigators say speed and impairment are believed to be contributing factors.

For a family navigating the aftermath of a crash like this one, insurance adjusters will often present a single, quick settlement offer from the at-fault driver’s policy. Accepting that offer without first understanding the full picture can mean permanently closing the door on additional compensation that a family didn’t know existed.

Reach out to our team at (503) 226-3844 for legal guidance if you or a loved one has been injured in a crash involving an impaired driver. It's worth having every layer reviewed before any claim is settled. https://birdeye.cx/hnfdad

More than 1,000 bicyclists die each year in crashes with motor vehicles, according to the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety. Bicyclists have the right to share the road and to expect drivers to operate their vehicles safety. If you've been involved in a bicycle accident, give our team a call at (503) 226-3844.
