General Info

Why should you hire Michael Colbach for your Portland personal injury attorney? Proven Results. I can make car insurance companies pay when they do not want to by taking your case to a jury. Insurance companies do not pay you a fair amount because they want to. They only pay you when they have to. Oftentimes, after I file a lawsuit, Insurance companies significantly increase the offer because they have to weigh the risk of settlement against the risk of a big jury verdict. Most of the time they will not take that risk and end up paying my clients a fair settlement. Insurance companies rarely offer you a fair amount for your injuries without a lawyer. Three examples: 1. In a case where an injured client was blamed for the accident and offered a bit less than $100,000 and in 2024 a jury awarded client over $4 million. 2. In another case where my client was offered $4,000 before he hired me. At trial a jury awarded client $550,000. 3. In another case the insurance company originally blamed my client and would not even fix his motorcycle. I filed a lawsuit and a month before trial they offered $2 million and said they would never pay a penny more. After picking a jury and presenting witnesses, they nearly tripled their offer and the case settled.

Theft
Misdemeanors
[...] provides provisions for cyclists to ride two abreast, for passing motorists to cross the center line, and for cyclists to ride only as far to the right as is reasonable, so as to avoid hazards. Motorists are required to leave a three-foot buffer when passing a cyclist, and threatening or careless driver behavior, including throwing projectiles at a cyclist, is designated as a misdemeanor. Cyclists are also permitted to ride on the left-hand side of a one-way street, to mitigate the hazard parked buses and taxis present on the right.
Hit and Run
Your auto insurance policy protects you from uninsured drivers, hit and run accident, and even other cyclists in the event of a bicycle v. bicycle accident. Your liability part of your auto insurance also protects you if you are at fault from damages to a car or other property.

Property Damage

Personal Injury
Oregon Senate Bill 411 passed in 2015 made a slight but important modification that extends PIP coverage for medical bills following an accident from one year to two years. This personal injury protection is no-fault medical coverage which means that it covers you regardless of whether the accident was determined to be your fault or the other driver's.
Medical Malpractice
