Eugene Car Accident Lawyers

The Right Attorney Can Make All the Difference after a Car Crash

Most car crashes are unnecessary, the result of violation of established safety rules of the road. While these are almost always not intentional, they are also not truly “accidents,” because they were preventable. As the Oregon Driver Manual puts it, “the word ‘accident’ is misleading. If you crash because you were distracted, tired, or not driving defensively, it is a preventable crash, not an accident.” Severe losses from collisions can change lives forever. We’ve helped many hundreds of individuals and families who have been seriously or permanently injured in car collisions.

Our personal injury lawyers know how to build a case with the right facts and evidence, securing the futures of families across Oregon. There’s no up front cost to you, and we don’t get paid unless you do.

The Corson & Johnson Law Firm has earned the highest recognition for professional excellence and ethical conduct, including U.S. News & World Report Best Law Firms. Attorneys at the firm have been named in Best Lawyers, Super Lawyers, the American Board of Trial Advocates, and Don Corson is a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers and has been recognized as Oregon’s Distinguished Trial Lawyer of the Year. The Corson & Johnson Law Firm has been named by Expertise as one of the Best Car Accident Lawyers in Eugene.

A settlement or verdict in favor of an injured person takes into consideration multiple harms and losses, such as:

  • Lost wages
  • Medical bills
  • Pain
  • Future care needs
  • Disability
  • Impairment of normal activities
  • Loss of enjoyment of life

If the case goes to trial, a jury may sometimes also assess punitive damages, meant to punish the responsible party in cases of recklessly disregarding the health and safety of others. On average, injury survivors who have an attorney nearly triple the amount of money they get from insurance as compared to those who do not, according to the Insurance Research Council.
