Car Accident Attorneys in Portland

Everything happens so fast after a car accident. You will likely receive phone calls from insurance companies and their adjusters wanting to learn more about what happened. Initially, they will come off as caring and understanding, but that's not usually true.

Insurance is a business just like any other. So when these companies contact you to learn more about the accident, chances are they are looking for ways to avoid reliability or minimize the claim altogether. These companies know that in Oregon, you cannot recover damages if you were more than 50% at fault for the accident, so all they need to do is prove that you carry the larger share of the blame.

You shouldn't trust insurance adjusters either; they're usually trained to protect their employer's (insurance companies) interests and not fight for the rights of the injured. Do not expect them to be on your side, even if they sound caring and understanding. All these parties have one goal: to minimize the payouts to accident victims.

The only person you can trust with your claim is an experienced car accident attorney in Portland. Even so, not every lawyer you come across has what it takes to handle a case of such magnitude. Some are usually afraid to go to court because they do not have the resources to sustain the lengthy court processes, while others are desperate to win and will settle for anything to add to their list of results and build their reputation from it.

But all hope is not lost; you can hire a car accident attorney from Morgan and Morgan the nation's largest injury firm, to represent you in your case. All you need is a free case evaluation to get started.
