Klamath Falls Auto Accident Injury Attorneys
No one starts their car in the morning and thinks, “I might get into a wreck today”.
However, according to ODOT’s most current data, in 2023 there were nearly 47,000 vehicle crashes statewide just last year; this means that almost 4,000 automobile accidents occur in Oregon on a monthly basis. Significantly, 39,000 of those accidents resulted in injury, almost half of which were major or serious injuries, and sadly 529 traffic related deaths occurred.
Out of that same data, it was reported that in Klamath Falls there were 242 total vehicle crashes, causing 182 total injuries, and tragically, 4 deaths.
The most typical cause for vehicle accidents is driver error, and sadly, the exact same errors happen every year:
- Failure to avoid a parked or non-moving car (rear-ending)
- Not yielding right-of-way to other vehicles, bicycles, motorcycles, or pedestrians
- Traveling too fast
- Traveling too fast for roadway conditions
- Inattentive driving; telephones, sending texts, looking at maps
- Changing lanes improperly
- Driver fatigue
- DUII – driving under the influence of intoxicants
If you’re in a vehicle collision caused by another person’s carelessness, you could be overwhelmed by costly healthcare bills, not to mention losing money because you can’t work, and enduring the pain and stress of long-term treatment plans. In many cases, one might suffer an irreversible disability, and the expenses of continuous therapy and long-term care can be shocking. If you’ve been involved in a car crash, how can you expect to know everything that must happen and in which order they are to happen? The reality is you will need to get in touch with a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. Sometimes injuries do not seem very severe at first, however, they can quickly reveal their true colors and leave you with chronic discomfort, pain, and suffering.
