Driving under the influence

Rear-end and chain-reaction pileups, common in stop-and-go Delta Highway backups

Failing to yield or running a signal at busy intersections

What to Do After a Car Accident in Eugene

Not sure what to do right after a crash? Here's the simple version, from people who handle Oregon car accident claims every day:

  1. Check for injuries and call 911. Even a "small" wreck can hurt someone. Get help on the way first.
  2. Move to safety if you can. On busy roads like Beltline or Delta Highway, staying in the lane is dangerous. If the cars still run and no one is badly hurt, move them out of traffic.
  3. Take photos of everything. Cars, license plates, the street, skid marks, your injuries. Your phone is your best witness.
  4. Get names and numbers. The other driver, plus anyone who saw it happen.
  5. See a doctor, even if you feel "okay." Some injuries, like whiplash or a concussion, show up days later. A record from day one protects your health and your claim.
  6. Call a car crash lawyer before you talk to the other driver's insurance. This one matters. The first offer is almost never a fair one.

Oregon has a deadline, called the statute of limitations, for filing most injury claims, so don't wait too long to ask questions. It's free to find out where you stand.

Car Accident FAQs

Find answers to your most pressing questions about auto collision cases.

Do I need a lawyer? Can’t I just deal with the insurance company myself?

You can. But insurers often delay, minimize, and devalue claims from unrepresented people. Many clients come to us after months of stalled progress and find out key evidence has already disappeared.

Will my insurance rates go up if I make a claim?

Not necessarily. It depends on fault and your coverage. We can help you understand what’s at risk before you take any steps.

How will my medical bills get paid while my case is ongoing?

You have options, from PIP coverage to health insurance. In Oregon, your own auto policy's Personal Injury Protection usually helps cover early medical costs no matter who caused the crash. We'll walk you through it and work to maximize your recovery.

How much does a car accident lawyer cost?

Nothing up front. We work on a contingency fee, which means we only get paid if we win money for you. The first conversation is always free.

How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Oregon?

Oregon sets a legal deadline for most injury claims, and evidence fades long before that. The sooner you call, the stronger your case. It's free to find out if you have one.

What if the other driver doesn't have insurance, or takes off?

You may still be covered. In Oregon, most auto policies include uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage, which can pay for your injuries when the at-fault driver has no insurance, not enough, or flees the scene. A lot of people don't realize they have this protection. We'll check your policy and pursue every source of coverage available to you.

Should I talk to the other driver's insurance company?

Be careful here. The other driver's insurer may call within days, sounding friendly and helpful. But their job is to pay you as little as possible. Anything you say, even a simple "I'm doing okay," can be used to shrink your claim. You're not required to give them a recorded statement. It's best to talk to a lawyer first, and let us handle those conversations for you.

What if I was partly at fault for the accident?

You may still be able to recover money. Oregon follows a "modified comparative negligence" rule, which means you can still make a claim as long as you're not more than 50% at fault. Your compensation is just reduced by your share of the blame. Insurers often try to pin more fault on you than you deserve, so don't assume you're out of options before talking to us.
