Information About Insurance Coverage for Personal Injury and Accident Claims

As an experienced Portland Oregon Personal Injury Attorney, James O’Rourke knows how to find available insurance coverage for his clients’ injuries.

The following is a brief discussion of many of the types of insurance policies we commonly work with in representing clients as Oregon personal injury attorneys.

We at James F. O’Rourke, Jr. and Associates know how to assert and protect our clients’ rights under the various types of insurance policies which come into play in personal injury cases.

Insurance policies are contracts. Both the insurance company and the insured have duties under the contract. If the insured does not follow the terms of the insurance contract, the insurance company does not have to pay. The insurance companies must follow the terms of the contract as well.

The Oregon State Legislature has set out rules governing the insurance business and the certain important aspects of the claim recovery process. Knowledge of these rules is very important as we work to get the most money possible for our injured clients. We know how to use these rules to protect our clients and further their interests in the claim recovery process. We know how to get the insurance companies to follow the rules.

Many Oregonians seek the services of Oregon Injury Lawyers because of the way they are treated by insurance adjusters. If you feel that you are not being treated fairly, please contact an experienced Oregon Personal Injury Attorney before you say anything further or sign or agree to anything.

Every Oregon Auto Accident Attorney needs to know about the different types of coverage available under the insurance policies that might be available to their clients who are injured in vehicle accidents and to understand their client’s rights and responsibilities under such policies. There are a multitude of insurance policies which may come in to play in a vehicle accident.

As an Oregon Motorcycle Accident Attorney, Mr. O’Rourke is familiar with the special challenges faced by persons injured in motorcycle accidents because of the relatively low amount of Personal Injury Protection insurance available to the victims in such accidents.

Oregon Personal Injury Lawyers, and particularly those practicing in Multnomah, Clackamas and Washington Counties are seeing more injuries caused by attacks by exotic and dangerous pets. Most of these claims require us to work with the pet owners’ homeowners and umbrella insurance policies and the client’s health and sometimes workmens compensation insurance carriers.

Similarly, Oregon Personal Injury Attorneys who are representing persons injured on the residential or commercial property of a person or business deal with homeowners or commercial insurance carriers as well as the clients health and sometimes workmens compensation insurance carriers.

“I was hit by an automobile while riding my motorcycle. I received several injuries but the most serious was an open fracture of my small finger. My injuries required two surgeries.
