Many motorcycle accidents are either fatal or cause catastrophic injuries. Motorcycle accident victims and families need experienced Portland personal injury lawyers on their side.

Drivers need to respect a pedestrian’s right of way. At Philbrook Law Office, we represent injured walkers and the families of any pedestrians who are killed by a vehicle. We hold irresponsible drivers accountable.
- Bicycle accidents. Bicycle riders often need to cross intersections. Some bicycle riders ride on the road when traffic isn’t too heavy or too fast. Sadly, many drivers fail to respect the rights of bicycle riders to be on the road or look out for bicycle riders.
