Portland Agrees To Pay Cyclist 125-Thousand Dollars In Lawsuit
(Portland, OR) -- Portland has agreed to pay a cyclist 125-thousand dollars after he was injured by a hidden bump in a Southeast Portland roadway. Joseph Rios sued the city after being thrown over his handlebars on Southeast Oak Street in July 2023, suffering injuries that included a fractured wrist requiring surgery. The lawsuit alleged the city failed to repair the road or warn cyclists despite reports of two previous crashes at the same location.
