While not all injury car accident cases be the same I just resolved a $1250 pre lawyer injury offer by the insurance company in Oregon with a $125,000 case resolution.

Isn’t it so true that the slogan your in good hands means nothing in reality when the insurance carriers in Oregon and Washington play the game they usually get away with with non lawyer repped cases. The beat goes on.

Summertime in Oregon means more dog bites and strict liability laws come into play on such cases. As there is a lot of confusion with dog bites and what people think is the two bite rule I took a peek at the Oregon state law ORS 609.095 since I got a call from a mother whose child was savagely attacked by a pit bull in The Dalles Oregon.

This Oregon law is important yet there is a big catch because it means if your dog bit and it’s your dog then you are liable but you still must prove liability in terms of negligence.

I just read that a federal study shows that bus-pedestrian crashes are more than 2x as likely to occur during left hand turns. The federal study on bus left hand turns certainly with impact the Tri Met wrongful death claims of the two Portland Oregon pedestrians killed recently by a Tri Met bus when they attempted to cross the street in a marked crosswalk with the walk signal on.
