Description
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.

Bicycle Accident Attorney
Pedestrian, Bicycle, Car Injury Crash What if I am on my bicycle or a pedestrian and involved in a car crash? If you are injured in an auto accident while riding a bicycle or walking as a pedestrian, your owon auto insurance provides a minimum of two years and $15,000 in no-fault medical coverage. Or you may have increased your auto insurance personal injury protection (PIP) coverage up from the legal minimum of $15,000. In addition to medical coverage, your personal injury protection insurance provides wage loss coverage. This PIP coverage is mandatory for all Oregon auto insurance, but not motorcycle insurance. If you do not have auto insurance and do not have health insurance, than the auto driver’s insurance should pay your medical bills. If your Oregon personal injury protection coverage limits are reached, the car driver’s personal injury protection may also cover you if you do not have healthcare insurance. How much wage loss will my personal injury protection insurance pay? You PIP insurance will pay up to 52 weeks of wage loss up to the maximum monthly amount of $3,000. Will my insurance company pay all of my medical bills?

Truck Accident Attorney
Car Accidents involving Semi Trucks are more likely to cause severe injury and more frequently result in fatality. If you are involved in a truck accident it is very important to talk to an experienced Oregon truck accident attorney as soon as possible. An experienced attorney will be able to evaluate your truck accident personal injury or wrongful death claim and will be able to take steps to protect your claim and maximize your recovery. An experienced truck accident attorney will take steps to preserve the accident evidence so that truck accident investigation and reconstruction can be performed. It is important the truck and vehicles involved in the accident not be repaired before this investigation takes place. It is best if the accident scene itself can still be investigated before evidence that may exist is lost to time. An experienced truck accident attorney will be able to investigate and name the proper defendants in a personal injury claim. This can be very complex and require additional investigation.

Boating Accident Attorney
I hold a 100 ton United States Coast Guard Captain's License and have fished both commercially and for sport. I am very familiar with the rules of the road for boating and boating laws that apply to boating accidents. Every year Oregon recreational boaters and commercial fisherman suffer serious injuries in Oregon boating accidents. Proving who is at fault in a boating accident is not as easy or as obvious as a car accident. Boating accidents can be harder to figure out, but my 40 years on the water and my professional training as a captain give me a leg up over most personal injury lawyers. Over the course of my life, I have spent hundreds of days on the water operating everything from driftboats to large fishing and pleasure boats. As someone who spends 20-30 days a year piloting a boat, I have special insight on what is and is not safe on the water.

Uber / Lyft Rideshare Car Accident Attorney
A lot of the Uber and Lyft drivers do not have insurance that covers them as a commercial driver. In my experience, Uber delays and fights taking the appropriate responsibility for their drivers. Uber tries to say that they are not employees, so they have no coverage. Until I sued Uber. It is probably not uncommon that a Uber or Lyft driver will provide their personal insurance when they are working and get into an accident. Lyft and Uber drivers run over a lot of people in Portland. Contact me for a free consultation if you are hurt in an accident with a Lyft or Uber driver. Uber is the worst company I have ever dealt with. I want to help.

Car Doored Attorney
Many transportation experts say that Dooring is one of the most common kinds of bicycle crashes. Bicycle riders have the law on their side. Bicycle lanes put bicycle riders in the position to be exceptionally exposed to this type of road hazard where the bicycle rider may have no escape option: collide with the door or veer into oncoming traffic.

Oregon Moped, Scooter, E-Bike Law
Differences in Oregon laws between motorcycle / moped and scooter / electric bicycle are not obvious and may vary from other states. For scooters even cities within Oregon may have different laws. The Oregon laws regarding license, registration, insurance, operator age requirements, and training requirements are very different and specific to the mode of transportation. Have fun and stay safe out there. If you do get in an auto accident, contact a Portland auto accident attorney who will fight for your rights.

Right Hook Car vs. Bicycle Accident
The Right Hook Car vs. Bicycle Accident One of the top hazards an urban bicyclist has to contend with is having a car turn right in front of the bicyclist's direction of travel. This type of accident happens often and occurs even when the bicyclist is riding in a designated bike lane and would seem to be easily visible by the car driver who often had just passed the cyclist. Car Drivers too often seem to underestimate the speed cyclists and pedestrians relative to their own. Driver's also often do not use their turn signals, pass a cyclist and then turn as if they never saw the cyclist or do not understand the cyclist is also moving with some speed.

Logging Accident Attorney
Mike will identify all the responsible parties in your case whether it is a third party to your workers compensation claim, a negligent worker, or an indirect employer or subcontractor. These types of cases are complicated, but having an Oregon lawyer familiar with the logging industry, third party worker's comp claims, and Oregon's Employer Liability Law, will help protect your rights by identifying any party that was negligent or contributed negligence to the logging accident that harmed you.
