Oregon Accidents

A painter on a Corvallis commercial site got hit in a confusing work zone and now has two fights: not enough insurance and a contract clause nobody bothered to explain.

A Portland physical therapist comes back to a smashed parked car, the other driver is gone, and the real fight becomes whether a policy exclusion wipes out coverage.

A Gresham Amazon Flex driver hit on a sidewalk does not lose the claim just because the insurer goes silent, and Oregon law gives the driver real leverage.

An Amazon van ran a stop sign, the driver had a suspended license and no active policy, and now the real mess is figuring out why your settlement already has other hands in it.

An Amazon Flex driver in Bend got wrecked on a blind curve while working and found out the company had no workers' comp, which changes who can be forced to pay.

If you were shopping a batch, fell inside an Oregon grocery store, and the store's insurance got to you fast, the biggest risk is saying too much before anyone has sorted out whether this belongs in workers' comp, a liability claim, or both.

A Bend Uber passenger still has a claim after a parking-lot cut-through crash, but a three-month treatment gap gives the insurer exactly the argument it wants.

A commercial painter in Gresham was hit hard enough to get pushed into traffic, and now the insurer is trying the oldest move in the book: calling the treatment unnecessary and hoping he backs off.

The first fight is not just who drove the wrong way - it's locking down the garage evidence before the public agency and insurers shrug and say nothing can be proved.

A tire blowout on an Oregon highway can turn into a fight over fault fast, especially when the insurer tries to shrug it off as nobody's problem.
