Budget Rental Car Accident in Portland

Steps to Take After a Crash in a Budget Rent a Car

Budget Rent a Car is a global rental car company that is known for cost-effective rentals. There is a Budget Rent a Car location in Downtown Portland and at Portland International Airport (PDX). Of course, there is always a risk of a crash whenever you get in a vehicle. A rental car is no exception. Navigating the aftermath of these accidents can be especially complicated. Here are four steps to take to protect your rights:

  • Stop your vehicle and contact law enforcement to report the crash;
  • Seek immediate medical care for your injuries;
  • Be sure to notify Budget Rent a Car of the collision; and
  • Speak to a Portland lawyer before giving a statement to an insurer.

The complexity of insurance claims after a rental car crash can be overwhelming. There will almost certainly be several parties involved in the claims process—including the renter, the rental company, multiple insurance providers, and other drivers. Figuring out who is financially responsible for the crash can be challenging. It is imperative that you have a skilled Portland rental car accident lawyer on your side.

Oregon is a Fault-Based, Comparative Negligence State

In Oregon, auto accident liability is based on fault. The negligent party can be held legally responsible for the resulting damages. Rental car crashes are no exception to the rule. Though, multiple parties may share fault for the same collision. Under Oregon law, car accident claims are subject to a modified comparative negligence standard (ORS § 31.600). You can still recover compensation if you are partially at fault for your Budget Rent a Car crash—so long as your degree of fault is less than 51%.

You Have Limited Time to Initiate Your Claim

Under Oregon law (ORS § 12.110), there is a two-year statute of limitations for motor vehicle accident injury claims. If you fail to initiate your claim in a timely manner, you could lose out on the right to take legal action. Do not fall behind the rental car company or the insurance company in the claims process. Consult with a top-tier Portland auto accident lawyer as soon as possible.

We Help Injured Victims Fight for the Maximum Financial Compensation

Following a car wreck in Budget Rent a Car vehicle in Portland, you need compensation to pay bills and support your family. Unfortunately, you cannot rely on the rental car company or any insurer to look out for your best interests. Our Portland rental car accident lawyers are here to help you fight for the full and fair settlement you deserve. Financial compensation may be available for:

  • Rental car repair bills;
  • Emergency medical treatment;
  • Hospital bills and other costs;
  • Long-term medical care needs;
  • Loss of wages and loss of earning power;
  • Pain and suffering and emotional distress;
  • Long-term disability; and
  • Wrongful death damages.

When I first contacted Jon Friedman, he was very patient and listened to every word I told him about my fall and injuries.

Jon was the best support I could have had through two long years. Sometimes I'd just want to give up. He'd stop, explain what I had to do and why; the process wouldn't look so daunting. I've been around personal injury cases for decades. I've never seen a lawyer who is better at helping people through the parts of the...

Mr. Friedman cuts to the chase and lets you know up front exactly what is going on and if you have a valid issue.

Thank you.

I didn't want to hire a personal injury attorney but the car insurance company was giving me the run around and didn't even want to pay my medical bills.

A friend referred me to see Jon Friedman at a very low point in my life. Three months earlier I’d been hit in two auto accidents within 20 days.
