Lake Oswego Auto Accident Injury Attorneys
Living in a small town like Lake Oswego makes for a slower pace of life than that of our neighboring City. Getting around town is a little less congested and the speed limits are respectful of the residents and pedestrians. However, just because it is not a bustling and busy City, doesn’t mean that automobile accidents do not happen here.
In fact, according to 2023 data from the Oregon Department of Transportation, 192 motor vehicle accidents happened in Lake Oswego, 104 of which resulted in injury. More than half of those accidents resulted in moderate to serious injuries to the passenger, pedestrian, or driver involved. While everyone likes to think that they will get safely from point A to point B without incident, this is obviously not the case.
Automobile accidents can be caused by a variety of reasons that have nothing to do with the driver of the vehicle. Things like the road conditions and the condition of the vehicle are both contributing factors. However, the number one cause reported for automobile accidents in Lake Oswego is “driver distraction”. Basically, this means that the driver of the vehicle was distracted by something that took their focus away from driving.
