One minute you were driving to work down TV highway, the next, your world was a whirlwind of screeching tires, shattering glass, and the jolt of impact. Now, the pain and the fear are just the beginning. Your phone won't stop buzzing with insurance calls, the bills are already piling up, and you don't even know where to start. Everything you worked for – your car, your health, your peace of mind – feels under attack. And with every passing minute, your chance of getting the help you deserve is slipping away.
Please, even if you don't contact us, have your case reviewed by an attorney. Hillsboro is our home, and we care about our community.

We don't want to scare you! Unfortunately, the insurance companies use that against us. If you were in an accident the proof of what happened and who's responsible is fading away. Delayed treatment destroys far too many cases.
This is all evidence, that if lost, the insurance company will use against you to minimize their payout. Don't hand them that advantage!
That "minor" neck pain... the soreness you're sure will go away... these could be the first signs of injuries that will disrupt your life for years.
We see this all the time!
Car accidents are notorious for causing long-term problems that lead to thousands in medical bills, missed work, and lost quality of life. Maybe it requires surgery down the road. Maybe chronic pain limits your ability to do the job you love or simply play with your kids.
Insurance companies want you to focus on the here and now – a quick repair bill and a small check. They're not on your side. They're gambling that you won't realize the true scope of your injuries until it's too late to fight for the full compensation you deserve.
Don't fall into their trap!
We work with medical experts to understand the potential long-term costs – not just today's doctor's visit, but the physical therapy, the potential for future procedures, and the impact on your ability to earn a living. It's about protecting your future, not giving the insurance company an easy win.
Client Review: "...I had no experience or any knowledge being in my situation, which was very intimidating! But they did all the hard work and made me feel so comfortable throughout the entire process, they were my backbone..."

Yes, we fight for every dollar you deserve. But money doesn't heal wounds or turn back the clock. The true impact of an accident goes deeper:
We understand that no settlement will make this like it never happened. We fight for compensation that addresses the full picture, so you can reclaim your peace of mind and rebuild a life you love without the constant shadow of this accident.
Insurance companies are complex machines designed to minimize payouts, not help accident victims. They have teams of lawyers and adjusters working to protect their profits, not your well-being.
We level the playing field. We know their tactics and how to counter them. We meticulously collect evidence, consult with medical specialists, and negotiate aggressively to secure the maximum compensation possible. We shoulder the burden of this fight, so you can focus on what truly matters – your recovery.
Every day you wait is another day of stress, another day of feeling overwhelmed, and another day the insurance company gets the upper hand. Don't let them control your future.
We offer a free, no-obligation consultation to review your case. Experience the relief of knowing you have a team of proven professionals on your side:

It is imperative that you find an experienced and aggressive advocate to hold the insurance company accountable for your injuries.
You have a right to be compensated if you were injured due to someone else’s negligent or intentional conduct. Compensation includes being reimbursed for any medical expenses, lost wages, or damage to your vehicle. However, more potential compensation exists.
You also have a right to compensation for other harms that you suffered that are harder to quantify. People often talk about “pain and suffering” damages in car crash cases, but it is more than that. You deserve, under the law, to be compensated for more than just experiencing pain. Oregon law also considers the interruption and interference in your life.
You will never get back the time you have to spend at the doctor’s office, or the blood and sweat you expend in physical therapy recovering from a serious injury. However, you can be compensated for it by the at-fault driver’s insurance company.
The car accident lawyers at Johnson Law also know what juries in the metro area have awarded in similar cases. Let us put our knowledge and experience to work for you.
You want a car accident attorney who will use a variety of tools to maximize their client's recovery. One tool is an in-person crash site investigation. Often this is very useful. Other times we can get traffic camera footage. Unfortunately, sometimes people can't contact us immediately. However, that doesn't mean all potential evidence is lost.
News articles about car crashes can be incredibly useful for photo evidence of a crash. Sometimes clients are missing information or have no pictures of their accident. The associated press photos can be vital to proving negligence. They may show things important accident factors such as road conditions, signage, and visibility obstructions.

Some courts/judges have specific procedures they follow. This information used to be hard to obtain, but now it is easily available online! Look up your specific judge on this page. Some pages are blank as the judges have no special procedures in their court. Additionally, these pages can have vital contact information for court staff.
Our Hillsboro car accident attorneys regularly take cases to trial and know the special court rules and procedures that must be followed. You can ask about special rules and procedures during a free consultation.
One thing a Hillsboro car accident attorney will inform you is that if your civil case is seeking damages under $50,000 it is subject to mandatory arbitration. Arbitration is an alternative dispute resolution mechanism. Ideally, it provides quick and cost-effective resolutions to cases.
In arbitration, you do not go before a judge during a trial. Instead, cases are decided by an arbitrator. There is no jury. The arbitrator makes an award based on the evidence and testimony presented at a hearing. This award can then be turned into a formal judgment by the court. However, either party may appeal the decision to the court and request a trial.
If you were involved in a car accident you most likely have a legal obligation to report the accident to the DMV. If you are unsure of your situation feel free to call us to talk to a Hillsboro car accident attorney for a free consultation.
These are four situations when you MUST report the accident to Oregon's DMV:
It is important that you file a report when required. The DMV can suspend your license otherwise. Do not skip this vital step. Additionally, please know that a report submitted by the police to the DMV does not negate this requirement.
There are also times when you may want to report your accident to the DMV even if not required. If you were in an accident and the damages were less than $2,500, you can report to DMV if the other party doesn't have insurance. Be sure to clearly note on the accident report that it doesn't meet mandatory reporting criteria.
If you were involved in a traffic crash you may obtain the first page of the Oregon Traffic Crash report free of charge. This is done by completing a Public Records Request Form. This report is useful for insurance companies and attorneys involved in your case.
If you're unsure about car accident reporting for your accident call us to ask a Hillsboro car accident attorney about your case.
