Auto accidents in Oregon are increasing. According to 2009 Oregon Department of Transportation (“ODOT”) motor vehicle traffic crash data, around 19,000 non-fatal injury crashes occurred. Statistics showed that collisions not resulting in wrongful death rose 5.1% over the previous year. Pedestrian impacts were reported as being up nearly 10%. A summary of the data shows that auto accident injury affected over 28,000 Oregonians.

Most Common Oregon Errors Causing Traffic Accidents
ODOT’s data tracked driver errors causing collisions. Negligent drivers who commit the following types of road errors or otherwise fail to drive with reasonable care can cause serious personal injury or wrongful death to other drivers, passengers, and pedestrians. If negligence on the road harms you or loved ones, speak to an auto accident lawyer about your potential compensation.
