NW Injury Law Center
Oregon City Personal Injury Lawyer
Trial attorneys serving Oregon City and Clackamas County, home to the county courthouse and Willamette Falls.
Oregon City is the seat of Clackamas County and one of the oldest incorporated cities west of the Rocky Mountains, known as the historic end of the Oregon Trail and home to Willamette Falls. It is also a working commuter city, connected to the rest of the Portland metro area by Interstate 205, the McLoughlin Boulevard corridor (Oregon 99E), and the Abernethy Bridge across the Willamette River.
If you were injured in an accident in Oregon City, NW Injury Law Center can help. We represent injured clients throughout Clackamas County on a contingency fee basis, so there is no upfront cost and no fee unless we recover compensation for you.
The Clackamas County Circuit Court sits in Oregon City
Oregon City is the Clackamas County seat, and the Clackamas County Circuit Court is located directly in the city. When an insurance company will not offer a fair settlement, this is the courthouse where a personal injury lawsuit is filed and, if necessary, tried before a Clackamas County jury. That local presence matters when building a case and preparing for how the claim may ultimately need to be resolved.
Crash corridors around Oregon City
Interstate 205 and the Abernethy Bridge form one of the most congested chokepoints in the region, and the approach lanes on both sides of the bridge see frequent rear-end collisions during peak traffic. Oregon 99E (McLoughlin Boulevard) runs through the older, denser part of Oregon City and has a long history of pedestrian and turning-vehicle crashes due to its mix of retail driveways and signalized intersections. Oregon 213 and the Beavercreek Road corridor carry heavy traffic from the growing residential areas on the city's south side, particularly near the shopping centers off Highway 213.
Local hospital access
Oregon City is home to Providence Willamette Falls Medical Center, located within the city, which serves as the primary destination for many local accident victims before the most serious injuries are transferred to a Level I trauma center in Portland. We work closely with these medical records to establish the full extent of a client's injuries and future care needs.

Oregon fault rules and the statute of limitations
Oregon uses a modified comparative fault system under ORS 31.600, which allows you to recover compensation as long as you were not more than 50 percent at fault for the accident, with your damages reduced by your share of fault. Most personal injury claims, including those filed in Clackamas County, must be brought within two years of the date of injury under ORS 12.110.
