MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENTS
Driving under the influence can injure and kill. So can distractions while driving – such as text messaging and cell phones, inexperience and defective gas pedals. Faulty tires, loud music, and fatigue can all contribute to serious – even fatal – car, truck, or motorcycle accidents.
Some days, the sheer volume of traffic contributes to injury accidents. Road rage by angry drivers is increasingly cited as the cause of accidents on the road.
Loss of limbs, life, brain function, ability to work, all wreak havoc that extends beyond the crash. Motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of brain, head and spinal cord injuries. Seeking advice from a personal injury attorney experienced in evaluating long term injury is critical for accident victims seeking justice.
Increase in Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents
Many injured victims involved in motor vehicle accidents were not in a motor vehicle at all. Pedestrians, bicyclists, innocent people in crosswalks or in a storefront window can all become victims of motor vehicle accidents. Attorney Tom D’Amore is a past chair of the American Association of Justice’s (AAJ) Motor Vehicle Section. He was 2010-11 President of the Oregon Trial Lawyers Association.
