Tigard, OR Car Accident Lawyers

When someone hits you with their vehicle, you may suffer injuries like minor cuts and scrapes, or you could suffer catastrophic injuries.

Protect Your Rights with the Help of Our Tigard, 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 Tigard, 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.

Steps Our Tigard Car Accident Attorneys Will Take to Ensure Victory

No one likes going to court. It is expensive, time-consuming, and often stressful. Thankfully, most cases never make it to the courtroom and are settled through negotiations out of court. While this is usually the best option for all parties involved, there are still some cases where going to court is the only way to get the justice you deserve. Regardless, your Tigard car accident attorney will take specific steps to help ensure that you have the best chance at winning your case.

If your case does go to trial, our attorneys will work tirelessly to gather evidence and witnesses that support your claim. They will then prepare you and any other witnesses testifying for trial. It is essential that you are honest with our car accident lawyers in Tigard about everything related to your case so that they can help you prepare as thoroughly as possible.

Our Tigard, OR, attorneys will also negotiate with the other party’s attorney to settle the case out of court. This attempt is usually the best option for all parties involved as it is less expensive and time-consuming than going to trial. However, sometimes the other party is unwilling to budge or offer a fair settlement. In this case, your attorney will continue preparing your case for trial while also trying to negotiate a better settlement.

Proving Liability in a Tigard, 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 Tigard 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 Tigard 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.
