“After two different attorneys told me there was no way to pursue a larger settlement, Travis told me his plan to seek appropriate compensation for a collision that took me months to recover from. And he delivered. The entire process with his firm was delightful - from his amazing team to his personal phone calls keeping me updated. I could not have asked for a better experience.”

"I was in my first car accident last November. I had no clue how complicated this was going to be. From the insurance/medical authorizations and reports to the vehicle rental, estimates, and repair process I was overwhelmed. I was also in a lot of pain during this time. Travis took over so I could focus on healing..."

"Travis represented me in a personal injury and punitive damage claim in an incident where I was hit by a drunk driver. The case lasted roughly two years and was mentally and emotionally trying. That being said, Travis was helpful throughout and made sure that every move made in the case was broken down and that I understood clearly what was going on..."

Insurance Company Tactics

Injuries from car accidents can range from minor soft tissue and whiplash injuries to catastrophic injuries. It is not uncommon for someone injured in a car accident to suffer a traumatic brain injury (TBI), a spine injury or broken bones.  In addition to physical injuries, car accidents can also leave lasting psychological effects. Most Oregon car accidents are caused by driver negligence, carelessness, recklessness, and inattention. Drunk driving, texting or other types of distracted driving are common causes of car crashes resulting in personal injury. These are serious cases, potentially requiring years to resolve, in a legal process that is complex and where billion dollar insurance companies can afford to implement their Deny – Delay – Defend strategies to minimize settlements. This is where an experienced Portland car accident attorney can help.  Do not try to take on the consequences of being injured in a serious car accident alone. You need a lawyer for your personal injury accident.

You Deserve Financial Compensation

Financial support can help you recover from your Oregon car accident.  For over 20 years, Travis Mayor and his team of experts have worked with car accident victims to win their personal injury claims and restore order back into their lives.  If you have been injured in a car crash as a result of another person’s negligence, financial compensation is your right under the law.  You may be entitled to compensation for pain and suffering, medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, surgical costs, physical therapy, future earnings, loss of enjoyment of life, and more.

Obtaining compensation for losses caused in an accident is your legal right, but it is a right that requires you to prove your case. This is why you need an attorney with experience AND a track record of results who is prepared to take your case through litigation, if necessary, to obtain the best settlement for you.

Travis Mayor has successfully prosecuted hundreds of cases arising from Oregon car accidents and other motor vehicle accidents.  We measure success in the RESULTS we obtain and the help we provide our clients in regaining control over their lives.

FAQs

I have been in an Oregon car accident, what are my legal responsibilities? +

At the time of the Oregon car accident you are required to STOP – Render Aid – Exchange Information – Report the Accident. Under no circumstances should you leave the Oregon car accident site or aggravate an already emotional experience.

I'm being pressured to provide a recorded statement and sign a medical release by both insurance companies -- must I do so? +

You are under no obligation to discuss the car accident or your medical treatment with the other driver’s insurance company, and in fact, doing so could hurt your claim. Do NOT talk to the other driver’s insurance company or give them a recorded statement!

How do I get reimbursed for property damage incurred in an Oregon car accident? +

Collision insurance is the type of insurance that covers the cost of repairing (or replacing) your vehicle after it was involved in an Oregon car accident. This coverage is not mandatory in Oregon and must be specifically included in your insurance policy.

Do I have to call the Portland Police for a minor fender bender? +

Not always. In Portland, police generally only respond if there are injuries, a blocked roadway, a hit-and-run, or a driver under the influence. However, Oregon law requires you to file an Oregon Traffic Accident and Insurance Report with the DMV within 72 hours if there is an injury or if property damage exceeds $2,500.

Where do I get a copy of my Portland Police Bureau (PPB) traffic accident report? +

You can request a copy through the PPB Records Division at the Justice Center (1111 SW 2nd Ave) or online via the Portland.gov portal. Note that if officers only issued a “Traffic Crash Exchange Report” at the scene, that may be the only official document available.

What happens if I didn't file my Oregon DMV accident report within 72 hours? +

Failing to report an accident that meets the $2,500 threshold or involves injury can lead to a suspension of your driving privileges. You should submit the report as soon as possible, even if the 72-hour window has passed.
