Eugene Personal Injury Attorneys' Profiles
Eugene Personal Injury Settlements
Car accidents remain the leading cause of accidental deaths in the U.S. accounting for almost half of all those who suffer an accident related death. There are approximately 10 million auto accidents per year. Serious car accidents claim the lives of almost 31,000 people per year and result in almost 3 million people suffering serious injury with an estimated 2 million people suffering some form of permanent or serious injury. The good news is that improvements in motor vehicle safety features, stricter traffic laws, harsher DUI penalties and more aggressive enforcement of DUI laws as well as other measures have paid dividends, and accident fatalities are declining in recent years. However, collisions involving cars, pickup trucks, SUVs, semi-trucks, motorcycles and even pedestrians continue to take a huge toll in human lives and health care resources.
At Dwyer, Williams, Potter, Attorneys LLP, we have been representing those who suffer serious injury or have lost a loved one in car accidents in Eugene and throughout Oregon with a success rate that exceeds 98 percent. While our experience, expertise and resources means that we have the ability to handle the most serious and complex auto accident cases, we maintain long-term relationships with many of our clients because you are our families, friends and neighbors. We are committed to helping those who have suffered serious injuries recover and rebuild their lives. We will help you obtain the vital financial compensation that you need to address medical bills, loss of income and other financial hardships that accompany a serious car accident. While we live and practice law right here in our local Eugene community, our firm is well known throughout the State of Oregon.
As bleak as the national accident statistics may appear, the epidemic of motor vehicle accidents is a local problem here in Eugene and throughout Oregon as much as it is a national problem. In a recent year, we experienced 41,000 car accidents in Oregon that resulted in over 28,000 people being injured and almost 400 fatalities. Even here in Eugene, we experience 1,500 car crashes per year resulting in almost 700 injuries and seven fatalities per year. The compassionate team of car accident attorneys at Dwyer, Williams, Potter Attorneys LLP know that what these statistics hide is that accident victims are not just a statistical number. These victims represent parents, grandparents, children, siblings, other family members and close friends. The loss and injury suffered when a driver does not drive safely and creates an unreasonable risk of harm to others results in losses that cannot be measured by simple statistics or dollars. The loss of the ability to walk hand in hand with one’s spouse or carry one’s child in your arms is a loss that is immeasurable as is the wrongful death of someone that you love.
Our experienced attorneys offer zealous advocacy, skilled negotiation, may years of expertise and experience as well as heartfelt empathy to our Eugene auto accident clients. We know that when you or a family member is involved in a car accident the emotional, physical and financial toll can be devastating. Our experienced team of Eugene car accident attorneys diligently pursues our clients’ best interest when dealing with legal issues and insurance companies so that our clients can focus on recovering and taking care of their family. We are often able to obtain a favorable result through negotiation but prepare for litigation in court because we know the best outcome is reached by negotiating from a position of strength.
