Avis Car Accident Law in Portland

Rental Car Accident Claims are Complicated

Avis is one of the car rental companies. There are five different Avis rental car locations in Portland, OR alone. The company offers a variety of rental options, including budget vehicles, luxury cars, vans, and SUVs. Of course, whenever you are on the road, there is a risk of a crash. Indeed, the risk of an accident may actually rise when a person is driving an unfamiliar rental vehicle.

Navigating the aftermath of a rental car crash can be a stressful, daunting process. It often involves a number of different parties, including the rental company (Avis), insurance companies, and, in some cases, other motorists. Determining liability and figuring out insurance coverage requires a careful evaluation of the specific facts.

What to Know About Auto Accident Liability in Oregon

Oregon is a fault-based motor vehicle accident jurisdiction. The party—driver or otherwise—who is at fault for a crash can be held legally liable for the resulting damages. Every Avis crash must be thoroughly investigated to determine exactly what went wrong. Some of the most common causes of rental car accidents in Portland include:

  • Speeding;
  • Traffic violations;
  • Following too closely;
  • Distracted driving;
  • Intoxicated driving;
  • Rental company negligence; and
  • Vehicle defects.

Multiple parties may share liability for the damages caused by the crash. Under ORS § 31.600, a modified comparative negligence system of fault applies. As long as you are at fault for no more than 50 percent of your own Avis accident, you are still entitled to recover compensation for your damages. However, your compensation will be reduced proportionately to your degree of negligence.

What is the Statute of Limitations for an Avis Car Crash Claim?

You have a limited amount of time to bring a personal injury claim in Portland. Under Oregon law (ORS § 12.110), there is a two-year statute of limitations for most accident claims, including rental vehicle crash claims. If you or your loved one was hurt in an accident involving a rental car from Avis, be sure to consult with a Portland personal injury attorney as soon as possible.

We Help Injured Avis Accident Victims Fight for the Maximum Compensation

Through a rental vehicle accident in Oregon, injured victims have the right to seek compensation for the full extent of their damages, including their economic losses and their non-economic losses. Hurt in an Avis crash? You cannot trust the rental car company or any insurance company to willingly step forward and pay you the full and fair financial compensation that you deserve. Our Portland rental vehicle accident lawyers can help. You may be entitled to recover for:

  • Property damage, such as rental car repair;
  • Ambulance costs and emergency medical care;
  • Hospital bills and other health care costs;
  • Rehabilitative medical support;
  • Loss of wages and loss of earning power;
  • Pain and suffering & mental anguish;
  • Long-term disability and physical impairment; and
  • Wrongful death of a family member.

Friedman are a father and son team with decades of experience fighting for the rights of victims and families. A proactive approach is a must.

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...

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.

Jon Friedman helped me to an extent I could never have expected.I was hurt in a car accident.
