Albany Auto Accident Injury Attorneys
In Oregon, there are around 4,000 vehicle accidents on a monthly basis, and in the most recent data from 2023 there were nearly 47,000 crashes statewide. Significantly, 39,000 of those accidents resulted in injury, almost half of which were moderate to serious injuries, and sadly 529 traffic related deaths occurred.
In Albany alone, 552 car accidents took place, involving 15 pedestrians and 16 bicyclists. This led to 430 total injuries, over half of which were moderate to serious, and tragically, there were 2 fatalities.
The most typical cause for motor vehicle crashes is driver error and regrettably, exactly the same mistakes repeat every year:
- Failure to steer away from stopped or parked vehicles (rear-ending)
- Failure to yield right-of-way to other drivers, pedestrians, motorcycles, or bicyclists
- Driving a vehicle too fast
- Driving a vehicle too fast for the road conditions
- Driver fatigue
- DUII – driving under the influence of intoxicants
- Distracted driving like eating, and talking or texting on a cell phone

If you’ve been involved in a vehicle collision caused by another person’s negligence, you may face rising healthcare costs, lost wages, long-term physical therapy or rehab, and in some cases, lifelong care. What you do — or fail to do — during the first days and weeks after the crash can have a significant impact on the outcome of your claim.
