AUTO ACCIDENTS
Nearly 34-thousand people died in the United States last year as a result of a motor vehicle crash. Thousands of injuries and fatalities occur on Oregon, Washington and California roads and highways each year. Innocent people die or are seriously injured at the hands of negligent drivers who speed, ignore signage, use cell phones, send text messages, are inexperienced, or are under the influence.
The couple above was injured when another driver fell asleep at the wheel and hit them. D'Amore Law Group represents both victims.
Accident victims call their insurance agent for assistance and are usually asked to sign a monetary settlement – and to sign it quickly. It is your legal right to ask for an attorney to review the documents presented to you by the insurance company before you sign. You could be signing away your rights and adequate compensation for your injuries or loss.
Be aware that Oregon, Washington and California limits the time that your attorney can recover damages on your behalf. Once this time-frame has elapsed, it may be impossible to recover anything. Therefore, it is in your interest to call a personal injury law firm early in the process.
D’Amore Law Group is experienced in negotiating the best possible outcome for their clients, and the initial consultation is free. One call to D’Amore Law Group could shed intelligence on whether or not the insurance company’s offer is adequate – or not.
Tom D’Amore is the 2010-2011 President of the Oregon Trial Lawyers Association. He is experienced and respected throughout the West Coast – and is licensed to practice in Oregon, Washington and California.
