If you have been injured in a Portland pedestrian accident and believe that the acts of another person are to blame, our Portland Pedestrian Accident Attorney can help you with your claim.

Statute of Limitations for a Portland Pedestrian Accident

People are often familiar with the statute of limitations which is a time limit for either resolving a claim or filing a lawsuit.  In Oregon, the statute of limitations after a pedestrian accident is typically two years from the date of the accident.  There are other factors, however, that can affect the statute of limitations and other earlier deadlines that may need to be met.  It is therefore highly recommended that you contact an experienced Portland Pedestrian Accident Attorney as soon as possible after being involved in a Portland pedestrian accident.

My name is Linda and my son in law recommended Ryan Hilts. I did not think I needed a lawyer. My son in law said "If you don't win you don't pay". That made a lot of sense to me. After calling Ryan I realized how comforting it is to have a lawyer. I was in a car accident. The driver was drunk and hit me and took off. A hit and run accident. Ryan told me by Oregon Law I was able to go to the doctors. I was able to get the much needed help. My Chiropractor was amazing. It took time to heal. Ryan was always available and always called me back, when I had any questions. He is a wonderful family man. A man of integrity. He also sent emails and texts to wish our family well on all the Holidays. He went above and beyond what was expected. My case was won without a doubt. I would definitely go back to Ryan for any lawyer needs. He is a good man and you can trust him. Thank you Ryan for everything, words are not enough to express all you did for us.

Ryan is a terrific lawyer and a better person. He went above and beyond to reach a settlement in my case and believed in it when no one else did. He’s very intelligent and caring and is always putting the best interests of his clients before his own. Ryan knew more about my case than I even did. He is truly dedicated to his clients, and I can not explain how much I honestly appreciated that. I recommend that you give him a shot if you need to hire an attorney. He won’t let you down.
