Motorcycle Accident Attorneys in Portland

In Oregon, there are a variety of organizations that teach motorcycle driver safety classes. You can go to the local community college and practice driving your motorcycle around the parking lot to get the hang of it or you can join Oregon’s official motorcycle safety program and learn all about how to safely operate a motorcycle.

Unfortunately, the training given to automobile drivers about how to safely share the road with motorcyclists is minimal and each year thousands of people are injured and even killed while riding their motorcycle due to a collision with an automobile.

While the person or persons in the automobile have a decent amount of metal surrounding them and (hopefully) a seat belt securing them in place, a person riding a motorcycle has nothing between their body and the road. The result is often severe injuries for the motorcyclists and, sometimes even death.

Some of the most common circumstances that lead to a motorcycle accident are:

  • The road conditions are poor (pavement that is uneven or riddled with potholes)
  • The visibility and weather conditions are poor
  • An automobile driver violates the motorcyclist’s right-of-way by turning into his or her lane
  • An automobile driver fails to yield to a motorcyclist when entering or exiting the freeway or highway
  • The motorcyclists equipment malfunctions or is defective

If you have been in a motorcycle accident, there is little chance that you have not sustained any kind of injury. In fact, head and neck injuries are extremely common in these types of accidents and can range in severity. Things like nerve damage, traumatic brain injury, and spinal cord injury are all very real possibilities. Not to mention paralysis or long-term disability.
