It is no fun to be in a car accident especially when you are injured. It certainly does not get any easier when police officers don’t respond to your car accident. As a car accident lawyer, this trend is becoming more apparent. In the state of Oregon, less police reports are being made on car accidents.

I just read an article in the Oregonian which stated the Oregon law which allows Oregon citizens to petition the court to issue court citations to bad drivers (if the police don’t). Having a police investigate the car accident certainly helps an injury case. So it reasons that if the cops don’t show up an injured non fault party could increase the pressure on an at fault driver.
