Insurance adjusters and defense attorneys in Oregon frequently focus on two questions:
- Causation: “Did this accident actually cause the fracture?”
- Stability: “Can you prove your full recovery impact yet?”
That’s especially common when you’re injured in a setting where documentation can be incomplete—like a fall on an untreated walkway, a crash where reports are delayed, or a workplace incident where the scene changes quickly.
If the other side argues your injury was minor, pre-existing, or unrelated, your claim needs a clear medical timeline and a consistent description of the mechanism of injury.
