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.
