Protect Your Rights with the Help of Our Corvallis, OR, Car Accident Lawyers

When someone’s negligence injures you or takes the life of a loved one, you have the right to recover monetary damages, typically paid by the at-fault driver’s insurer. The insurance company has limits on what it will pay, based on how much insurance the driver purchased on the policy. In some cases, your damages could exceed that amount. When you need that additional compensation for your injuries and losses, you can sue the at-fault driver or the insurance company to pay more.

In some cases, more than one person could share in the responsibility for your injuries. For example, perhaps you were in an accident with a truck. If the driver of a commercial vehicle hits you, the driver and his or her employer could share in the responsibility. In car accidents involving multiple vehicles, more than one driver could share in the responsibility for the accident. Our car accident lawyers in Corvallis, OR, will investigate your case to determine who shares in the fault. Then, our team will strategize how best to get you the compensation you deserve, whether via settlement negotiations with an insurance company or taking your case to court.

What Victims Should Do After a Car Accident in Corvallis, OR

If you have been involved in a Corvallis car accident, it is crucial to seek the advice of experienced car accident attorneys who can protect your rights and help you navigate the complex legal process. It is critical to do all this in due time because the Oregon Statute of Limitations only gives two years to file.

After a car accident in the Corvallis, OR, it is best to:

  • Notify your insurance company about the accident
  • Obtain a police report
  • Get medical attention if necessary
  • Document the damages to your vehicle
  • Keep track of any expenses related to the accident.

It is also essential for you to avoid doing the following after an accident:

  • Admit fault or liability to anyone
  • Sign any documents from the other party without consulting an attorney first
  • Give a recorded statement to the other party’s insurance company without consulting an attorney first.

You can help us protect your rights and ensure you are compensated fairly for any damages incurred by taking these steps. Taking quick action can make all the difference in the outcome of your case.

Our Corvallis, OR, car accident attorneys will provide you careful legal guidance in your case. You can count on us to protect your rights and help you obtain the best possible compensation.

From the beginning, it is critical to stick to the details captured in the police report if you say anything about your accident. Anything said to the insurance company, the other party, or their attorneys can be used against you in court. The insurance company will try to get a quick payout settlement that is far less than what damages may truly be. They know if the case is settled quickly, they come out ahead, whereas, if the case goes to court, they face losing hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars.

This is why it’s important to work with our Corvallis car accident attorneys. We can communicate on your behalf with insurers and will seek the best possible compensation for your injuries.

Advantages of Working with Our Corvallis Car Accident Lawyers

Our attorneys can negotiate on your behalf to get a fair settlement. If the settlement is not met, the case may go to court. If your case progresses to trial, you can count on our experienced litigators to fight aggressively on your behalf.

To calculate the total damages in your case, our car accident lawyers in Corvallis consider the following:

  • The cost of current and future medical treatment
  • Lost wages and earnings potential
  • Property damage
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Any other losses incurred as a result of the accident.

No one wants to be in a car accident. But if you are, it’s essential to know your responsibilities for your well-being and the success of any insurance claim or lawsuit that may result.

First and foremost, seek medical attention if you are injured. This is not only for your health and recovery but also because injuries sustained in an accident can be used as evidence in a legal case. Insurance companies will also often require documentation of injuries before approving claims.

Second, don’t leave the accident scene until all necessary information has been exchanged with the other driver (or drivers) involved. This includes names, contact information, vehicle make/model/year, license plate number, and insurance information. If possible, take photos of the accident scene and the damage to both vehicles. If the police are called to the scene, get a copy of the accident report. This will also be helpful in any subsequent legal proceedings.

Finally, it’s essential to be honest with your own insurance company about the details of the accident and your injuries. However, you are not required to give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurance company, and, in fact, it is usually not in your best interest to do so. It is often better to have your Corvallis car accident lawyer present for any such interactions.

Proving Liability in a Corvallis, OR, Car Accident

Our Experienced Attorneys Know How to Show Who Was at Fault

In some cases, it is obvious who was at fault in a car accident. In other cases, your attorney might have to retain private investigators to determine who was at fault in the car accident. While the police report can point to liability, it is not the only tool a car accident lawyer in Corvallis will use.

To recover damages in a car accident, you must be able to show that the other driver met the four elements to prove liability. Those elements are:

  • The driver – also known as the defendant – had a duty of care not to harm you.
  • The driver violated that duty.
  • The driver’s actions caused your injuries.
  • You suffered damages as a result of those actions.

More than one person could meet these elements – and if they do, they are also responsible for your injuries and other damages.

To help prove who shares in the liability for the damages you can collect, our Corvallis car accident lawyers will investigate the accident scene and use expert witnesses to recreate the accident, when necessary. Our attorneys will also interview first responders, police officers and other witnesses who were at the scene of the accident.
