Car Collision with Bicyclist Results in Permanent Injury to Portland Cyclist.

In a lawsuit brought in Portland, Oregon, on behalf of the cyclist against the owner of and driver for Royal Town Car, Portland personal injury attorney Richard Vangelisti alleged that the driver was negligent in failing to yield the right-of-way to a rider on a bicycle lane. While not admitting liability, the defendants settled the suit for more than $209,000.

On average, up to five cyclists are killed every year in Portland, Oregon. According to the City of Portland Office of Transportation, the number of bicycles on the roads is growing daily, both for exercise and transit.

Bicyclists who have been injured in an accident have strict deadlines for bringing personal injury claims relating to the accident. It is critical that an injured cyclist contact a Washington or Oregon accident attorney if he or she may have a claim from the accident. A personal injury attorney at Vangelisti Law Offices can provide a free consultation to discuss injuries and legal rights.
