What To Do After an Accident in Bend, Oregon
If you were injured in Bend, here are simple steps that can help protect your health and your claim:
1. Get medical care
Even if you feel “okay,” get checked by a doctor. Some injuries appear days later.
2. Report the incident
Call the police for a crash. Your own Oregon DMV crash report may be due within 72 hours. After a fall, let the property owner know.
3. Collect basic information
Get names, contact details, and insurance information for drivers or property owners when you can do so safely.
4. Take photos if possible
Pictures of the scene, vehicles, hazards, and your injuries can be helpful later.

More Bend Injury Questions
What if a city snowplow, a county truck or a state vehicle hurt me in Bend?
The clock on that kind of claim is short. Claims against a public body, such as the State of Oregon or a local government, have an extra step. You must give notice of the claim within 180 days after the injury, or within one year for a wrongful death claim (ORS 30.275). A crash with a city bus or a county truck may fall under these rules. The 180 day notice is easy to miss, and it can pass before you finish treatment. Call our Bend legal team early and we will take care of the notice.
How many traffic deaths happen in Bend and Deschutes County?
Federal crash data from NHTSA counts 113 traffic deaths in Deschutes County from 2020 to 2024. Of those, 21 were inside Bend city limits, and 8 of those 21 were on foot or on a bicycle: 6 pedestrians and 2 bicyclists. Across the county, 16 of the people killed were motorcyclists, and NHTSA estimates that 32 deaths involved an alcohol impaired driver. We handle wrongful death claims for families who have lost someone in a crash. A wrongful death case generally has three years (ORS 30.020), and some limits can make that time shorter, so please call before much time passes. It costs nothing to talk with us.
Where do I report a dog bite in Bend?
Get medical attention right away. That is the first thing the Deschutes County Sheriff's Office tells people who have been bitten. It also says to report the bite. To ask for an officer or a deputy, call non-emergency dispatch at 541-693-6911, or 911 if someone is in danger. Inside the city, Bend Police also takes an online report when a dog bites and the owner is unknown. Hold on to photos and medical records of the bite, and call us when you are ready to talk about a claim.
Who pays my St. Charles bill after a crash in Bend?
In most cases your own auto policy pays first, through its medical coverage (called PIP), no matter who caused the crash. Oregon PIP covers at least $15,000 in reasonable and necessary medical expenses for up to two years after the injury (ORS 742.524). If your disability lasts at least 14 days, PIP also pays 70 percent of lost income, up to $3,000 per month, for up to 52 weeks. Give St. Charles your auto insurance claim number so it can bill PIP. After PIP is used up, bills usually go to your health insurance, if you have it. Sorting out who pays what is part of what we do for you.
