Thousands of pedestrians are struck by motor vehicles every day in the United States. Cell phones and technology have caused an increase in distracted drivers. When one is struck by a vehicle, there is little or no protection from injury. Because of this, pedestrians often suffer serious and life-altering injuries. At Levin and Levine, we understand the vulnerability of pedestrians and will fight to make sure you receive fair compensation for your injuries.

Nearly all cases involving pedestrians are preventable and caused by negligence. If you believe that you have a pedestrian injury case against a negligent driver, please contact our attorneys at Levin and Levine for a free consultation. We will assess the details of your claim and ensure you achieve the recovery you deserve.

Nearly one thousand bicyclists are involved in a crash every year in Oregon. When one is struck by a vehicle while on a bicycle, there is little or no protection from injury. Further, the distance from the ground makes the bicyclist even more vulnerable to injury. Because of this, bicyclists often suffer serious and life-altering injuries in crashes. At Levin and Levine, we recognize the vulnerability of bicyclists and will fight to make sure you obtain fair compensation for your injuries.

If you have been injured in a bicycle accident, we know you have many questions. These may include: Who will be paying my medical bills? Who will help me recover from my injuries? Who will pay for the damage to my bicycle? Will I receive compensation for the pain and suffering I have endured? The attorneys at Levin and Levine can help you with every aspect of the difficulties you face after a serious bicycle crash. Contact us for a free consultation to answer your questions and start the process.

Semi-trucks and other large trucks can cause catastrophic injuries. The sheer size and momentum of these large commercial vehicles can create dangerous conditions on the road. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says that in 2019 alone, 5,005 people were killed and an estimated 159,000 people were injured in crashes involving large trucks. Cases involving large trucks can be complicated and require experience. If you have been in a crash involving a large truck, call Levin and Levine for a free consultation to discuss your claim.

Injuries that occur at places of business or on private property can be grounds for a premises liability claim. In Oregon, owning a property does not by itself make the person or business liable for all injuries occurring on the premises. There must be some negligence on the part of the property owner in order to establish liability. At Levin and Levine, we specialize in identifying when a property owner has been negligent and then securing fair compensation for our client's injuries that occurred on the property.

Below are examples of defective property conditions that can give rise to a premises liability claim:

–Slippery floors with no signage
–Cracked sidewalks and damaged walkways
–Defective staircases or railings
–Poor lighting in stairwells, parking lots, etc.

All of these conditions are preventable and can lead to serious injury. If you believe that you may have a premises liability claim against a property owner, please contact our attorneys at Levin and Levine for a free consultation. We will assess the strength and value of your claim and work tirelessly to achieve the recovery you deserve.

Wrongful death is the most catastrophic of personal injury claims. If you have lost a loved one and believe that another person or a business is to blame for his or her death, you may have a claim for wrongful death. A wrongful death claim provides families with a way to recover against the negligent or reckless party (or company) to hold them accountable for the harm they caused.

Wrongful death can occur anywhere, but most commonly is the result of a motor vehicle collision, a bike or pedestrian collision, medical or nursing home negligence, or dangerous premises. In most cases, the family member who brings forth the wrongful death claim is a surviving parent, child, or spouse. However, Oregon allows other family members to file a lawsuit, including grandparents, stepchildren, or stepparents. Wrongful death claims allow family members to recover: pain and suffering for the survivors, loss of companionship, loss of future earnings over the deceased’s lifetime, insurance and retirement benefits, reimbursement for burial, funeral and medical expenses, and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the family.

If you believe you have a wrongful death claim or have questions or concerns about pursuing compensation for the death of a family member, please contact Levin and Levine for a free and confidential assessment of your claim.

Every Oregon motor vehicle insurance policy has medical insurance that covers treatment for injuries caused by a car collision. This medical insurance is called “Personal Injury Protection” coverage or PIP. PIP is “no fault” insurance which means that whether the collision was your fault or the fault of another, PIP must cover your reasonable and necessary medical bills for injuries that were caused by the collision. PIP can also cover your wages in the event you cannot work because of your injuries. If you were involved in a car collision or were a pedestrian or bicyclist that was struck by a car, you have PIP coverage, and you cannot be unreasonably denied these benefits. If you are having trouble accessing your PIP benefits, or if the insurance company is threatening to not pay your medical bills, has denied coverage, or has discontinued your benefits, you may be able to sue the insurance company for the unreasonable denial of your PIP benefits.

At Levin and Levine, we understand that each person’s situation is unique. That is why we offer free consultations. Contact us today and speak with one of our attorneys. We will go over your potential PIP denial claim in detail and answer any questions you may have.
