Portland, Eugene, Salem, and the rest of Oregon can rely on LawyerOffer.com to request a confidential case review.

General information about injury and civil matters in Oregon. This is not legal advice, and rules change.
Fault rule
Modified comparative fault (51%)
Crossing 51 percent fault can block many injury recoveries. Rain, bicycle traffic, and I-5 wrecks are common Portland-area issues.
Typical filing window

Ranges vary by claim type. Confirm the date that applies to you with a participating attorney.
Auto system
At-fault
No-fault states often start with PIP benefits. At-fault states usually look first at who caused the wreck.

Local context
The Oregon legal setting
Oregon uses modified comparative fault. When you are more than 51 percent to blame, many injury claims are barred. Rain, bicycle crashes, and I-5 collisions are frequent concerns around Portland.
A two-year filing window often applies to injury lawsuits. Certain claims against public agencies carry shorter notice rules. An Oregon attorney can verify the relevant dates.
Issues that often come up in Oregon reviews
01
Rain, bikes, and I-5
Portland-area reviews often include wet-road collisions, bicycle and pedestrian incidents, and I-5 or I-84 wrecks. Visibility and lighting arguments are common.
02
Public-body notice
Some claims against public bodies have shorter notice rules than a two-year injury range. That comes up after wrecks with transit vehicles or falls on public property.
03
Family and DUI
Submitting a form does not start a Multnomah County case and does not make LawyerOffer.com your attorney. A reviewing lawyer can explain the local circuit court process.
