Local Insights for Your Case in Independence

Our personal injury attorneys serve Independence and the surrounding Polk County communities. Located along Highway 51 near the Willamette River, Independence experiences traffic accidents on the highway and throughout the downtown area. We represent clients injured in motor vehicle accidents, truck collisions, bicycle crashes, pedestrian incidents, slip and falls, and wrongful death cases. Oregon law mandates PIP insurance coverage that provides immediate benefits for medical expenses and lost wages, and our attorneys help you access these benefits while pursuing additional compensation from negligent parties. Whether your accident occurred on Highway 51, in Independence's historic downtown, or elsewhere in Polk County, we provide dedicated legal representation. We understand the challenges facing accident victims in smaller communities and fight to recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, and pain and suffering. With Oregon's 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims, contacting an attorney promptly is crucial. Call our Independence personal injury lawyers for a free consultation.
