Oregon’s recently new click it or ticket law appears to be working as I just ran across the 2010 stats which show that Oregon drivers came in fourth nationwide on the compliance rule requiring seat belt usage when driving.

In fact, this jives with the nationwide reduction of car crashes involving unbelted passengers since that number came up this year at 38 deaths nationwide. When compared with the 2009 results we certainly see a vast reduction since 1954 according to the transportation departments stats

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.

If you have been seduced by the insurance company and reached a settlement and now have second thought about the injury settlement reached in an Oregon car accident case there is a limited way to get out of the agreement and not be bound by your actions in settling the injury case.

Dates are important though with avoiding the harsh terms a settlement brings. In Oregon at least you can only not be bound by your consent to a settlement by the insurance adjuster under HB 2190 which allows consumers 5 days to cancel a settlement reached within sixty days of a car accident crash however the release must have certain mandated language advising the consumer of their rights.

What most people don’t know when they think the adjuster for the insurer is so nice is that the insurance industry puts their best skilled most fluent adjuster in touch with you right soon after the crash. Why so? Because they want to settle fast and short and based upon talking with injured people these last 19 years or so to take from you what you otherwise deserve and would get if you lawyer up.
