Common Causes of Trucking Accidents in Oregon
Understanding the root cause of your accident is critical to building a strong case. These are among the most frequent causes we see in Oregon trucking accident claims.
Driver Fatigue
Federal law limits truck drivers to 11 consecutive hours of driving. Violations of hours-of-service rules are a leading cause of catastrophic collisions.
Distracted Truck Driving
Texting, phone use, and other distractions at the wheel of an 80,000-pound vehicle can have devastating consequences.
Speeding & Reckless Driving
Commercial trucks require significantly more stopping distance. Speeding dramatically increases the severity of any collision.
Overloaded or Improperly Secured Cargo
Cargo that exceeds weight limits or is improperly secured can shift during transit, causing rollovers, jackknifes, and debris hazards.
Types of Trucking Accident Cases We Handle
No matter the type of truck accident, Huegli Law has the experience to investigate, litigate, and win.
What to Do After a Truck Accident
Seek Medical Attention
Get immediate medical care, even if you feel fine. Some injuries take time to manifest.
Document the Scene
Take photos of the vehicles, road conditions, and injuries. Collect witness contact information.
File a Police Report
An official police report creates a crucial record of the accident for your claim.
Don’t Speak with the Insurer
Do not give a recorded statement or sign anything from the trucking company’s insurance.
Contact an Attorney
Reach out to an experienced truck accident attorney to protect your rights and preserve evidence.
Oregon Comparative Negligence
Under ORS 31.600–31.620, Oregon follows a modified comparative negligence rule, often referred to as the 50% bar rule. This means you can still recover compensation as long as you are found to be less than 51% at fault for the accident.
If you are assigned any percentage of fault, your total compensation is reduced by that percentage. An experienced attorney can help minimize any fault assigned to you and maximize your recovery.
Statute of Limitations
Personal Injury Claims
Under ORS 12.110(1), you have two years from the date of the trucking accident to file a personal injury lawsuit in Oregon.
Wrongful Death Claims
Under ORS 30.020(1), families have three years from the date of death to file a wrongful death claim related to a trucking accident.
Trucking companies often begin their own investigations immediately after an accident. Don't wait — contact an attorney as soon as possible to preserve critical evidence.
