Advocating for Safer Streets in Portland Amidst High Crash

Portland, OR - As Portland's streets continue to witness a concerning number of traffic-related incidents, Harlan Law Firm is stepping forward to advocate for safer roadways and provide legal support to those affected by accidents. The latest data from Portland's Vision Zero initiative highlights the alarming realities of the city's High Crash Network, underscoring the urgency for action to mitigate risks and improve safety. (Source: City of Portland Vision Zero High Crash Network)

Understanding the High Crash Network

Portland's Vision Zero program identifies the High Crash Network as streets and intersections that disproportionately account for fatal and serious injury crashes. Though constituting just 8% of Portland's streets, these corridors are the sites of 57% of deadly crashes. Key streets, including SE Powell Boulevard, 82nd Avenue, and Lombard Street, are among those identified as hotspots for severe collisions.

The primary contributing factors to these accidents include:

*
Speeding and reckless driving.

*
Distracted driving is often linked to mobile device use.

*
Poorly designed infrastructure that fails to protect pedestrians and cyclists.

*
Insufficient lighting and visibility during nighttime hours.

The Human Cost of Unsafe Streets

Every statistic represents a human life impacted by these crashes. Families are left grappling with the devastating consequences of losing loved ones or dealing with life-altering injuries. Survivors often face long-term physical, emotional, and financial challenges, ranging from medical expenses to lost wages and ongoing rehabilitation needs.

With a team of experienced attorneys, the firm specializes in helping clients navigate the complexities of personal injury claims and ensuring they receive the compensation they deserve.

"The aftermath of a traffic accident can be overwhelming," said a spokesperson for Harlan Law Firm. "Our mission is to alleviate the burden on victims and their families by providing compassionate, skilled legal representation. We are dedicated to advocating for justice and holding negligent parties accountable."

Harlan Law Firm offers assistance in cases involving:

*

*
Cases involving defective vehicle components or poorly maintained infrastructure.

Advocating for Change

Beyond individual cases, Harlan Law Firm supports efforts to improve road safety in Portland. The firm endorses Vision Zero's goal of eliminating all traffic deaths and serious injuries by 2035. To achieve this, the city must prioritize investments in safer infrastructure, enforce traffic laws more effectively, and promote community awareness about safe driving practices.

Some proposed solutions include:

*
Implementing traffic calming measures, such as speed humps and narrowed lanes, on high-risk streets.

*
Enhancing pedestrian crossings with improved visibility and shorter crossing distances.

*
Increasing funding for public transportation to reduce reliance on personal vehicles.

*
Deploying automated speed enforcement technology to deter speeding.

The firm's services include:

*
Comprehensive case evaluations to determine liability.

*
Negotiating with insurance companies for fair settlements.

*
