NW Injury Law Center
Hillsboro Personal Injury Lawyer
Trial attorneys serving injured people in Hillsboro, the seat of Washington County government.
Hillsboro is the seat of Washington County and one of the fastest-growing cities in the state, home to the Intel campuses that anchor Oregon's Silicon Forest along with a rapidly expanding residential base. That growth has brought more traffic to roads that were built for a much smaller city, and more serious injury claims from crashes on Hillsboro's major corridors.
NW Injury Law Center represents injured people throughout Hillsboro and Washington County. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing up front and owe us nothing unless we recover compensation for you.
Hillsboro is home to the Washington County Circuit Court
Unlike Beaverton or Tigard, Hillsboro is the Washington County seat, and the Washington County Circuit Court sits in downtown Hillsboro. When a personal injury claim cannot be resolved with the insurance company, this is the courthouse where a lawsuit is filed and, if necessary, tried. Being familiar with local court procedures and how Washington County juries evaluate injury claims is part of building a strong case for Hillsboro clients.
Roads and crash corridors in Hillsboro
US-26 (the Sunset Highway) runs along the southern edge of Hillsboro and is one of the busiest commuter routes in the Portland metro area, particularly around the exits serving Cornelius Pass Road and Brookwood Parkway. Oregon 8, known locally as TV Highway, cuts through the center of Hillsboro and has a long history of pedestrian, bicycle, and turning-vehicle collisions due to its width and the density of retail driveways along the corridor. Oregon 219 and Cornelius Pass Road carry heavy traffic between Hillsboro and neighboring communities, and both see frequent rear-end and intersection crashes during shift changes at nearby employers.
Local hospital access
Hillsboro is served directly by OHSU Hillsboro Medical Center (formerly Tuality Community Hospital), located in the heart of the city, which means many Hillsboro accident victims receive their initial emergency treatment without having to travel into Portland. We routinely work with these medical records to document the full extent of a client's injuries.

Oregon fault rules and your filing deadline
Oregon uses a modified comparative fault system under ORS 31.600. You can still recover compensation if you were partly responsible for an accident, as long as your share of fault was 50 percent or less; your recovery is reduced by that percentage. Most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the injury date under Oregon's statute of limitations, ORS 12.110. Waiting to talk with an attorney can make it harder to gather evidence and, if the deadline passes, can bar your claim entirely.
