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.

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.

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.
