If you’ve been hurt, and the injury wasn’t your fault, your legal rights leave many options of compensation open to you. Unfortunately, many people in the Portland area simply don’t know that personal injury claim options are open to them. Bicyclists could live with a sore back or headaches for years into the future, and drivers hit by a commercial truck could be jipped out of the compensation that they’re due by a penny-pinching insurance company.
Skilled & Trained Personal Injury Attorneys
Personal injury attorneys, like the ones that you’ll meet at Russell & Hill, PLLC, are highly educated, trained, and skilled in the area of personal injury accidents. If you’ve been involved in an accident in the Portland area, be it in a bicycle or car accident, a commercial trucking accident, a job-related injury, or even an animal accident, your rights entitle you to receive compensation for your injuries. A personal injury attorney can help you navigate the confusing legal waters, interface with insurance companies, and handle the settlement claims process while you simply focus on recovering from your injuries.
Bicycle / Pedestrian Accident
Pedestrian accidents are a common and oftentimes serious source of personal injury in Portland areas. Pedestrians, in the eyes of the law, include walkers, bicyclists, skateboarders, and other non-motorized vehicles.
As a pedestrian, it is rare for you to be considered at fault in the accident, and you will likely have numerous options for insurance coverage for your injuries available to you. For instance, a pedestrian injured in an auto accident actually has access to the at-fault driver’s personal injury protection policy, should the driver’s insurance policy include that form of coverage.
A personal injury attorney can help you through the legal aspects of your case and let you know what kind of coverage options you have. The personal injury attorneys at Russell & Hill, PLLC Law Firm have years of experience with cases like this, and they understand how to handle the details of your case expertly.
Auto accidents are one of the most prolific types of personal injury accidents across the nation. Despite the fact that they happen so frequently in the Portland area, many drivers don’t understand the benefits that one of our personal injury attorneys can offer them. In many cases, people don’t even know that a personal injury claim is an option for them, and they simply attempt to “deal with” the injury or assume that they must shell out a wad of cash to pay for medical treatment on their own. However, our personal injury attorneys can help a no-fault driver receive medical coverage through either their own insurance, or the at-fault driver’s policy.
At Russell & Hill, PLLC, we work hard to ensure that our clients receive the damages and compensation that they’re rightfully due. You should be free to focus on your recovery, and we’ll handle the logistics, details, conversations, and claim proceedings.
Motorcycle Accident
The scenic highways that cut through the beautiful country of the Portland area attract many motorcyclists. Unfortunately, the curving byroads and highways often present a hazard for motorcyclists.
Motorcycle accidents can be one of the most devastating accidents on the road. Because bikers have far less protection than the vehicles around them, motorcyclists will usually sustain the most serious injuries. Additionally, the small size of a motorcycle can make them difficult to see. When other vehicles on the roadways fail to give motorcycles enough space, or fail to notice them, this will too frequently result in a deadly collision.
At Russell & Hill, PLLC we know that the stigma of crazy-riding motorcyclists is nonsense. In fact, our experience has shown that frequently motorcyclists are exceptionally careful and cautious riders, aware that they are less protected in the event of an accident. We work to obtain full compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering for our no-fault motorcyclist clients in the Portland area.
Commercial trucking accidents are most often very distressing occurrences. Personal injuries to the driver of the vehicle hit by the commercial truck are usually extensive and severe.

Don’t shy away from an attorney’s help at a time like this.

Construction Site Accident
Construction accidents are quite difficult at times, which is why a personal injury attorney is incredibly helpful. Builders who constructed the building, a contractor who maintains a structure, or an architect who designed a structure can be held liable if an individual is injured as a result of a negligent design, an error in construction, or a failure to make proper repairs. In these types of cases, the responsible party can be held liable for the injuries caused by their negligence, and the individual can pursue a personal injury claim.
Having the help of one of our personal injury attorneys in these types of cases in invaluable.

Dog Bites
Just as in an auto accident case where a particular driver is held liable for their actions, the owner of an animal that injures another individual is held liable for their pet’s actions. If you’ve been bitten by a dog, consider working with a personal injury attorney to file a personal injury claim. You shouldn’t have to pay for the medical treatment required to take care of your injury.

Slip & Fall Accident
Similar to the construction site accident described above, an establishment in the Portland area that has not properly designated slippery areas of the floor of their building or the surrounding grounds can be held liable for an accident that occurred on their property. Many Portland residents simply don’t know that this option is available to them, and simply attempt to recover on their own. However, an injury that was caused by slippery conditions that were not properly handled by the establishment in question can be credible grounds for a personal injury claim.
