NW Injury Law Center
Tigard Personal Injury Lawyer
Trial attorneys representing injured people in Tigard, at the crossroads of I-5, OR-217, and Pacific Highway.
Tigard sits at one of the most congested interchanges in Oregon, where Interstate 5, Oregon 217, and Pacific Highway (OR-99W) all converge near Washington Square. That interchange, combined with heavy retail and commuter traffic throughout the city, makes Tigard one of the busier places in Washington County for serious car and pedestrian accidents. NW Injury Law Center represents injured people throughout Tigard on a contingency fee basis, so you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you.
Whether your accident happened while merging onto I-5, crossing Pacific Highway on foot, or in a shopping center parking lot, our attorneys have the experience to investigate what happened, deal with the insurance company, and pursue the compensation you deserve.
The I-5/217/99W interchange and other Tigard crash sites
The interchange where I-5, OR-217, and Pacific Highway meet is consistently ranked among the most congested in the state, and the weaving and merging traffic in that area is a common cause of rear-end and lane-change collisions. Pacific Highway itself runs the length of Tigard as a wide, high-traffic commercial corridor, lined with shopping centers that generate frequent turning and parking-lot collisions. Highway 217 sees regular backups during rush hour, particularly near the Greenburg Road and Hall Boulevard exits, and Bonita Road and Durham Road carry heavy traffic between Tigard's residential neighborhoods and I-5.
Washington County court and nearby hospitals
Tigard is in Washington County, and injury claims that proceed to a lawsuit are filed in Washington County Circuit Court in Hillsboro. For emergency care, Tigard accident victims are often taken to Legacy Meridian Park Medical Center in neighboring Tualatin, or to a Level I trauma center in Portland for the most serious injuries. We routinely pull records from each facility involved in a client's treatment to fully document their injuries. The Fanno Creek Trail, which runs through the middle of Tigard, is popular with cyclists and pedestrians, and it crosses several of the same busy arterials where we see car-versus-bicycle and car-versus-pedestrian claims.

Oregon comparative fault and your filing deadline
Oregon follows a modified comparative fault rule under ORS 31.600: you can recover compensation as long as you were not more than 50 percent at fault for an accident, with your damages reduced by your percentage of fault. Oregon's statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of injury under ORS 12.110, so it is important to speak with an attorney well before that deadline.
