When two cars collide head on into each other- often called a head on collision- the result
unfortunately is often the death of one or more of the drivers or passengers. In representing injured car accident victims in Oregon State and Washington State for the last 15 years I have come to know the identity of some of the most dangerous stretches of roadways in Oregon.

Many fatalities have occurred along State Highway 30 near Rainier and St. Helens in Columbia County. The state has tried in the last few years to make this road a little safer by installing medians and trees as a safety barrier. Some dangerous roads such as Highway 26 have the more deadly parts of the roads identified as a safety corridor.

Motorists are expected to maintain heightened car driving care in safety corridors in the state of Oregon. When car drivers fail to use due care in safety corridors for the non fault driver this will improve, in my opinion, the strength of the injury claim. Which then, is eventually presented to the insurance adjuster whether in Oregon State or Washington State.
