Riders navigating Portland’s mix of wet pavement, streetcar tracks, and narrow bridge crossings face collision risks that few other drivers on the road encounter. Rosenbaum Law Group, PC represents motorcyclists injured in crashes throughout the Portland area, focusing on the bias that riders often face from insurers and juries alike.
Motorcycle accident claims carry a particular challenge: even when a driver is clearly at fault, insurance adjusters frequently attempt to shift blame onto the rider simply because motorcycles are less visible and more maneuverable than cars. Oregon’s comparative negligence rules mean that any percentage of fault assigned to the injured rider directly reduces the compensation available, so pushing back against unfounded assumptions about rider behavior is central to these cases. Rosenbaum Law Group works to reconstruct the crash using witness accounts, traffic camera footage, and physical evidence from the scene to establish exactly how the collision occurred.
Common causes of Portland motorcycle wrecks include left-turning vehicles failing to see oncoming riders, drivers changing lanes without checking blind spots, and road hazards like streetcar rails and potholes that are especially dangerous on two wheels. Because motorcycle injuries tend to be more severe than those in typical car accidents, the firm also works to document long-term medical needs, including orthopedic surgery, rehabilitation, and lost earning capacity.
