Oregon, like all other states, recognizes a legal doctrine called "negligence per se."

In the context of an auto accident, this means that if the negligent driver who injured you was also cited by the police for a traffic or criminal violation and you have proof (e.g. eyewitness testimony, direct admission of fault, etc.) that the driver violated a statute, you can potentially use that in your injury case.

Kaplan Law, LLC can guide you in collecting relevant evidence and help evaluate your case. We are here to help you navigate what can be an overwhelming legal system so that you receive the justice and compensation you deserve.

According to the latest reports, the confirmed death toll of the Longview paper mill disaster has reached eight.

The chemical treatment vat explosion was not just a minor industrial mishap. And the legal and regulatory response that follows must not be minor either. When workers die on the job, Washington law does not limit accountability to regulatory fines. An employer who willfully and knowingly violates WISHA safety standards and whose violation causes the death of an employee is guilty of a gross misdemeanor.
