We Understand Oregon City's Accidents
Oregon City presents unique driving challenges with its historic downtown, hilly terrain, and the confluence of the Willamette and Clackamas Rivers.
We're familiar with the common accident locations and causes in our city, including:
- Intersections along McLoughlin Boulevard: These bustling intersections can be prone to accidents due to heavy traffic and complex traffic patterns.
- The Oregon City Bridge: Accidents on the bridge, often caused by inclement weather or driver negligence, can be particularly serious.
- Winding roads and hilly terrain: The challenging topography of Oregon City requires careful driving, and driver errors can lead to accidents.
Todd Newlin won a $1 million+ settlement for someone killed by a drunk driver in a Clackamas County car accident. Todd was successful in holding the drunk driver responsible, as well as the several bars that served the driver alcohol before the crash.
