Knowledgeable Truck Accident Attorneys in Salem, Oregon

In Salem, the state government may be our city’s largest employer, but we also play a significant role in the area’s farming communities as a major agricultural food processing center.

Located on the I-5 corridor, our city’s primary processing center is responsible for canning assorted fruits and vegetables and frozen products for distribution throughout the country.

Since 1982, Salem has also been home to Kettle Foods, Inc., the popular potato chip company that distributes its products across the nation.

While there are many similarities in the processing industry, the one constant is that these products are being transported by large semi-trucks, box trucks, and delivery vehicles that are crowding our roadways and leading to catastrophic accidents across Oregon.

If you have been involved in a truck accident in Salem, chances are your injuries are severe and will require extended medical care and lengthy absences from work.

Frequently Asked Questions for Personal Injury Attorney in Salem

Should I try to handle my personal injury case without an attorney?

It depends on the nature and extent of the crash and your injuries. Usually, it is not in your best interest. When you try to handle your case without a qualified Salem personal injury attorney you could inadvertently cause yourself trouble, even if you later hire an attorney.

How do I know how much my personal injury case is worth?

The best way to get an accurate estimate is to contact a Salem personal injury lawyer. Value depends on the type of accident, the type of injuries and how your injuries affect your life amongst other considerations.

Can I post about my accident on my social media?

No, you should not post about your accident on any social media platform.

Is what I say in the initial consultation kept confidential?

Yes, even though you are not a client at the time of the consultation, you are still protected under the attorney-client confidentiality privilege.

What is the discovery period?

This discovery period is when both sides exchange information about the case to prepare for trial, and to see if they are able to reach a settlement without going to trial. Typically, requests for production and deposition are a part of discovery.

How will my Salem personal injury lawyer prepare me for trial?

Being prepared for your trial is very important. Your attorney will go over the case with you and explain how the process works. They will also get you ready for the deposition and run through the types of questions you might be asked during the case.

If I wasn’t at fault for the accident, but I don’t have car insurance do I still have a case?

It depends. If you can show you had coverage within 180 days of the wreck, and had it continuously for at least a year, perhaps.

Is my Salem attorney allowed to accept a settlement without my consent?

No, your attorney is not able to accept a settlement without speaking to you first and getting your consent.

Who pays my settlement?

Usually an insurance company pays your settlement.
