I would highly recommend Rizk Law to anyone. Both Richard Rizk and Sam Pope helped me with my personal injury case due to a not-at-fault car accident, and I could not be happier with the turn out. They both made sure that I was 100% before they talked about closing the case.
The team followed up regularly, and they made sure that I was taken care. Car accidents are a lot to deal with, and with this team, it was a lot easier! Thank you so much!– Angela Dyan

Alex Pletch and the Rizk Law Team recently represented me in a David and Goliath battle with auto-insurance companies and we won! Setting a precedent for Oregon.
They went above and beyond the original court case, fighting for me to receive the second year of PIP for an accident that created life-changing injuries.
Now accident-survivors in Oregon will no longer be denied their second year of PIP. It’s still sinking in how big this is for so many people moving forward. Thank you to Richard Rizk, Alex Pletch, and the Rizk Law Team!

Who Could Be At Fault for a Limo or Shuttle Accident in Portland?
In many limo, party bus, and shuttle accidents, multiple parties are often found to be at least partially responsible for the crash.
Entities that could be at fault for a limo or shuttle crash in Portland, Oregon, include:
- The driver
- The manufacturer of the vehicle
- The company responsible for the vehicle’s maintenance
- Government entities
- Other drivers
- Other passengers
Although the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) establishes standards for newly manufactured vehicles, some limousines are modified after they are off the assembly line, bypassing them from regulatory oversight.
Such modifications to a vehicle can affect its safety, including how the vehicle handles while driving and its ability to tolerate crashes or keep its occupants protected.
Companies that operate a large fleet of vehicles will go to great lengths to protect themselves and their businesses.
These companies are intimidating, but Rizk Law lawyers are well-versed in this space and have the skills to take on large corporations.
Our limo and shuttle accident lawyers can provide you with an honest, straightforward assessment of your legal rights and help you make informed decisions to defend your claim for compensation.
Damages You Could Recover in a Portland Limo and Shuttle Accident Injury Claim
In Portland, victims of limousine and shuttle accidents have the right to pursue compensation for their injuries.
The Rizk Law personal injury attorneys can help you negotiate a fair settlement for economic and non-economic damages suffered in a crash.
Economic damages are financial losses that can easily be attributed to a definitive amount. In a limo, party bus, or shuttle accident, this could include:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Lost income
- Loss of earning capacity
- Property damage
- Funeral costs
Non-economic damages are losses that are not as easy to put a price tag on, such as:
- Physical pain and suffering
- Disfigurement, such as scarring
- Loss of companionship
- Mental anguish
- Physical impairment
In some extreme cases, victims may also receive an award for punitive damages. Compensation for punitive damages is intended to punish at-fault parties for gross negligence and deter similar dangerous behaviors in the future.
