Tigard Accident Hotspots

Where Do Accidents Happen  in Tigard?

As a personal injury attorney serving the Tigard community for years, I’ve identified common locations where various accidents occur:

  • Washington Square Mall & Retail Areas: Slip and fall accidents due to wet floors, uneven surfaces, or poorly maintained walkways. Falling merchandise in stores and parking lot collisions are also frequent.
  • Cook Park & Tigard Recreational Areas: Injuries from dog bites, playground equipment failures, or slips on poorly maintained trails. Bicycle accidents and collisions with pedestrians also occur on shared paths.
  • Apartment Complexes (e.g., along SW Durham Road): Premises liability claims due to inadequate lighting, broken stairs, or uncleared ice/snow leading to falls.
  • Local Gyms/Fitness Centers: Equipment malfunctions, improper supervision, or unsafe conditions causing strains, fractures, or head injuries.
  • Residential Neighborhoods: Trip-and-fall hazards from cracked sidewalks, negligent property maintenance, or dog attacks in areas like Bull Mountain or Metzger.
  • Highway 99W & I-5 Interchanges: High-risk auto collisions due to heavy traffic, but also pedestrian accidents near crosswalks and commercial zones.
  • Tigard Transit Centers (e.g., Tigard TC/WES Station): Slips on wet platforms, bus-related accidents, or assaults due to inadequate security.
  • Industrial Zones (e.g., SW 72nd Avenue): Workplace injuries, forklift accidents, or exposure to hazardous materials in warehouses.

If you’ve been injured in any of these locations, our local knowledge of Tigard’s risks — from retail hazards to unsafe properties — helps build a compelling case to win you the most money possible.

Critical Steps to Take After an Accident in Tigard

If you’ve been injured, taking these steps can safeguard your health and strengthen your legal claim:

Ensure Safety

  • Move to a safe area if possible (e.g., away from traffic or hazards).
  • Call 911 for emergencies like severe injuries or unsafe conditions.

Seek Immediate Medical Attention

  • Get evaluated by a doctor, even if injuries seem minor. Delayed symptoms (e.g., concussions, soft tissue damage) are common.
  • Follow all treatment plans and keep detailed records of diagnoses, medications, and referrals.

Report the Incident

  • For car accidents: File a police report and notify your insurance company.
  • For slips, falls, or public injuries: Report the incident to the property owner or manager.
  • For workplace injuries: Notify your employer and document the report in writing.

Gather Evidence

  • Take photos/videos of the accident scene, injuries, hazards (e.g., wet floors, broken stairs), and property damage.
  • Collect contact information from witnesses.
  • Save all receipts for medical care, repairs, or other accident-related costs.

Avoid Admitting Fault

  • Do not apologize, speculate, or give statements to insurance adjusters without consulting with one of our attorneys.
  • Refer inquiries to your lawyer to prevent misinterpretation.

Contact a Tigard Personal Injury Lawyer

  • Early legal guidance ensures evidence is preserved, deadlines are met, and your rights are prioritized.
  • I can communicate directly with insurers and negotiate on your behalf from day one.

Remember that time is critical — Oregon’s statute of limitations allows only two years to file a lawsuit against the negligent party. Also, if the injured victim is a minor (under 18 years old), the statute of limitations may be extended to two years after their 18th birthday.

What Our Clients Say About Us

  • I was referred to Todd after a car accident. I had not sought representation for auto incidents before. I had concerns about my physical health and how my insurance company was handling it. Todd was amazing.  He had me start medical treatment, and he handled everything. I was compensated and referred family members, friends, and everyone to Todd. He's helped me and the people I care about navigate getting the best support after an accident. Todd is the best!!

  • I am so grateful for Todd’s work in navigating the insurance claims after my van was rear ended.  The medical adjusters were calling me regularly while I was in treatment, which I found very overwhelming.  Once Todd took my case, he handled all the communications between my insurance and my medical providers, which relieved me of the weight of that responsibility and gave me the space to fully heal from the accident.  He clearly explained my rights under the laws of personal injury protection, and negotiated a settlement far exceeding what I could have done on my own.  I highly recommend his services to anyone who has experienced and auto accident.

  • Todd helped me navigate the overwhelming steps of an auto accident. I was rear ended at a stop light, my car was totaled and I was taken to the ER. Post accident, it was hard to wrap my mind around anything and what needed to be done. Todd ensured that my health was priority and helped get me the treatment I needed. While I was able to focus on my rehabilitation, he took care of the insurance and dealt with the aftermath of what needed to be done. Though it was a stressful time, being able to rely on Todd to handle the claim and other legal matters was the biggest relief. He is extremely communicative, easy to reach and truly cared about my progress even when we settled. Forever thankful and would highly recommend.

  • I was in a MVA and had no clue what to do with the insurance company or how anything worked. Todd walked me through everything step by step. There were no dumb questions and he gave excellent guidance. My insurance company turned out to be a massive pain in the butt and were horrible to work with. Todd was able to step in once that fact became apparent and was able to swiftly and successfully close my case that had been dragged out for 3 extra months by the insurance company. He and his staff are very knowledgeable and straight shooters. Overall wonderful to work with and his office is my first call if I need him in the future.

  • Todd is great at what he does and an amazing resource to anyone needing legal support for auto accidents. In 2015 I was injured as a result of an auto collision, and Todd was instrumental in ensuring I received medical care. His professionalism and dedication to the case was an immense relief to me, especially as someone who never had an accident before.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Case value depends on your injuries, medical costs, lost wages, and other factors. I provide personalized evaluations during your consultation.

  • The timeline varies depending on the complexity of the case and the injuries. Simple cases can be resolved in months, while complex ones may take longer.

  • Speak with me first. Insurance adjusters work for the insurance company, not you.

  • Oregon's "modified comparative negligence" rule allows recovery if you're less than 50% responsible, though compensation is reduced by your fault percentage.
