Why Hire a Oregon Truck Accident Lawyer from Strong Law After a Truck Crash?
It is crucial to prioritize your recovery after sustaining injuries in a truck accident. Such accidents often result in severe injuries like broken bones, spinal cord injuries, neck injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and paralysis. These injuries can significantly alter one’s life and necessitate months, if not years, of recovery. In some cases, these injuries may even prevent individuals from returning to work or resuming their usual occupational activities.
The truck accident lawyer you consult with at Strong Law empathizes with your frustration and comprehends the profound impact your devastating injuries have had on your life.
Collaborating with our team of Oregon truck accident lawyers empowers you to actively engage in your treatment or therapy and concentrate on your recovery, rather than dealing with insurance companies or the party at fault.
The dedicated truck accident lawyers at Strong Law prioritize considering all types of losses you have suffered or may encounter in the future as a result of a truck crash. It is important not to hastily accept a settlement offer from the insurance company representing the other party. By doing so, you may be undervaluing your claim. Insurance companies and trucking companies typically aim to minimize the amount they pay when they are held responsible for a truck crash.
Let the experienced team of Oregon truck accident lawyers at Strong Law work to get you the best possible outcome in your case. Contact us at 206-737-1791 today.
How We Can Help
Attempting to seek compensation for your injuries alone after a truck crash may not yield the optimal outcome. Statistically, 95% of personal injury lawsuits are resolved through settlement, bypassing the need for a trial.
A skilled and seasoned truck accident attorney at Strong Law possesses the expertise to pursue the responsible parties and ensure they are held accountable during settlement negotiations.
At Strong Law, our team of Oregon truck accident lawyers will guide you through the concept of negligence and its application in pursuing compensation. You can rely on us to provide clear explanations and expert advice tailored to your case. When we look at the actions or fault of the truck driver, we look at circumstances where we can assign fault, which include:
- Driving under the influence
- Speeding
- Driving too fast for weather conditions
- Distracted driving
- Fatigue on the part of the truck driver
- Exceeding allowable hours of driving or exceeding driving hours without breaks.
Trucking companies that pressure drivers to keep driving, even when they are fatigued or have exceeded their hours, may be held responsible following a truck accident. Similarly, manufacturers or parts companies involved in producing or installing faulty components on the truck can also be held accountable. Our team of truck accident attorneys possesses the expertise to investigate these matters thoroughly and engage in more comprehensive discussions regarding your case.
Negligence Is Often a Primary Factor in Truck Accidents
Do you suspect that the truck accident, in which either you or your deceased loved one was involved, resulted from negligence? Negligence on the part of truck drivers and trucking companies frequently emerges as a significant contributing factor in truck accidents that occur in Oregon.
In many truck accidents, it’s not just the negligent truck drivers who are at fault. When you’re dealing with a truck accident in Oregon, remember that your team of attorneys can explore legal options against not only the driver but also the trucking company or the truck owner. You don’t have to face the aftermath of a truck accident alone in Oregon.
If you’re seeking compensation for injuries and other losses, it’s crucial to seek the expertise of Oregon truck accident lawyers at Strong Law. They possess the know-how to diligently pursue justice for their clients, ensuring you receive the rightful compensation you deserve.
Types of Compensation a Oregon Truck Accident Lawyer Pursues for Clients
It’s common for people to be unaware of the various types of compensation available. Each case is unique, and we are dedicated to delivering personalized and professional service while representing our clients.
At Strong Law, our attorneys are dedicated to pursuing every possible avenue to secure the compensation you deserve following a truck accident.
Economic damages encompass tangible losses, including lost wages, medical expenses, the cost of treatments and therapies, and burial expenses. On the other hand, non-economic damages, as defined by the Revised Code of Oregon, pertain to intangible losses like disability or disfigurement, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of companionship. In the aftermath of a truck accident, it is also possible to pursue punitive damages.

“Very professional, and treated me as an equal.”
Just wanted to say thank you to Jed and his team at Strong Law. Not only was I happy with the outcome, but the entire process as a whole. I would definitely recommend this firm to anyone. Thanks again.
“Unbelievable work!”
I had a claim involving my own insurance company. I tried to negotiate with them, and they completely denied my claim – two times. I then hired Strong Law, and the change was instant. The insurance company immediately began negotiating, and Jed was able to secure an unbelievably good settlement. I will never again attempt to take-on an insurance company without Strong Law in my corner. Thank you!”
“I got justice and awesome compensation.”

Questions Clients Frequently Ask Our Truck Accident Attorneys After a Truck Accident
People often have questions after being involved in a truck accident caused by negligence.
Why should I file a claim after a truck accident?
Trucking companies or their insurance providers frequently reach out to victims of truck accidents shortly after the incident and propose an immediate settlement. While this may seem appealing, especially if you have experienced lost wages and medical expenses, it is crucial to recognize that the offered settlement is often significantly lower than the compensation you rightfully deserve. We highly recommend reaching out to the accomplished Oregon truck accident lawyers at Strong Law without delay.
What should I do when the trucking company or their insurance company contacts me?
Please refrain from discussing the specifics of the truck accident with the trucking company, their insurance provider, or any attorneys, except for your own legal representation at Strong Law. Kindly redirect these parties to your dedicated truck accident lawyers.
What is the cause of most truck accidents?
According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), drivers are the primary cause of truck accidents. The report reveals that drivers were responsible for 87% of truck accidents, taking into account critical factors. These factors encompass decision-making, non-performance, performance, and recognition. Critical events leading to truck crashes can include drivers veering out of their lane or losing control due to factors such as excessive speed, shifting cargo, or vehicle system failures.
Should I take an immediate settlement?
Avoid accepting an immediate settlement offer from the trucking company or their insurance provider. It’s important to recognize that insurance companies often entice injury victims with seemingly substantial amounts of money. However, these offers often fall short of adequately compensating victims for their present and future losses. By seeking the guidance of a truck accident lawyer, you can have peace of mind knowing that you’re pursuing the rightful and complete compensation you deserve for your losses.

What Kinds Of Cases Are Personal Injury?

Examples are: Auto accidents; motorcycle accidents; semi-truck accidents; wrongful death; medical malpractice; slip, trip and fall; boating accidents, faulty equipment, nursing home abuse; and many others.
Will I Be Charged To Consult Or Talk With You?
No, not ever. Strong Law is a contingency personal injury firm offering specialized experience along with access when you need it. Our goal is to gain the best settlement and provide comfort in the process, so easy access to us is part of our best practices.
What Does Contingency Mean?
Contingency in a legal matter means an expense to the client based on the outcome of a future event or circumstance which is possible but cannot be predicted with certainty. Said another way, Strong Law gets paid only if your case settles.
Can You Give Me An Assessment Of My Case?
Absolutely. While we cannot guarantee anything, nor do we imply a settlement, our willingness to take your case (and do it on contingency) is our voice that we feel your case has strong merit. After speaking with you, we can provide a merit assessment over the phone. However, we caution that accepting your case does not promise anything, your outcome is reflected in the law firm you choose.
What Should I Do If I’m Having Problems, Like Their Insurance Company Is Calling Me?
Always secure an attorney first. If you sign up with Strong Law now, you can advise their insurance company that you have representation and give them our name and contact information. From that time forward, they should not be contacting you again; it’s the law. If you do not sign with an attorney, like Strong Law, you will need to speak with them and represent yourself to resolve your injury. We strongly urge against this; insurance companies are skilled at ensuring their best interests over yours.
What Are Common Reasons For Insurance Injury Denials?
Make sure you receive medical treatment as soon as possible after an accident, otherwise insurance may argue your pain is from an unrelated incident.Insurance companies will be going out of their way to find some proof that the accident was your fault. Don’t be intimidated.If you have preexisting medical conditions that make you more likely to suffer an injury, it is not uncommon for insurance agencies to deny claims based on this.
How Long Does A Case Take To Settle?
It depends on many factors like medical care, future needs, evidence, proof of liability, and many others. Some cases take months while others can last a couple years. Ultimately, our goal is to represent you and what is going to be best for you in the long run.
Why Can Cases Last Years?
Because the law dictates it. There are many layers to make sure the insurance companies treat you with optimal care. For example, there will be time spent for medical treatments you might need. There is time to gather the needed medical reports and discover any long term impacts this injury will have on your life today and into the future. There is time for the other side to review our demands, research, and respond as well. It can feel like a long time, but we follow the law and strategize for the best benefit to you. We are with you the whole time.
