Portland Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

Trucking Accident & Injury Attorney

When a pedestrian is struck by a large commercial truck, the result is usually fatal. If the pedestrian survives, he or she will likely face catastrophic injuries and continued medical care.

There are numerous reasons to consult and work with a Portland trucking accident attorney if you or a loved one has been injured in a pedestrian accident. If you have lost a loved one, an attorney can help you file a wrongful death claim. By taking legal action, you have the opportunity to hold the negligent truck driver or trucking company responsible for their actions. Your chances of reaching a higher settlement for your injuries are much higher if you work with an attorney. The insurance company may try to deny or delay payment of your claim or may offer you a settlement that will not cover your medical bills. With an attorney on your side, you will have a legal professional looking out for your rights and working to safeguard your future.

Pedestrian Accidents and Injuries

A pedestrian accident may occur because a truck driver is distracted, because of poor weather conditions or because the driver is under the influence of alcohol or drugs. A truck driver may even lose control of the vehicle because it is overloaded and therefore difficult to maneuver.

A pedestrian may suffer brain injury, spinal cord injury, neck and back injury, damage to internal organs, broken bones and disfigurement. These injuries may leave permanent scars and may affect the victim’s quality of life.
