Decades of experience representing individuals and families throughout Oregon
Navigating a personal injury or wrongful death claim can be challenging, especially while recovering from a serious injury or coping with the loss of a loved one. Coopers LLP has decades of experience representing individuals and families throughout Oregon in personal injury and wrongful death matters resulting from acts of negligence.
Our attorneys are licensed to practice law in Oregon and represent clients throughout the state. Although we do not maintain a physical office in Oregon, we offer flexible consultation options and travel when an in-person meeting is appropriate, making it easier for clients to focus on their recovery while discussing their legal options.
In Oregon, more than one person can share responsibility for causing an accident. This is known as the state’s modified comparative fault rule. An injured person who is partly at fault may still recover compensation, provided they are found to be 50% or less responsible for the accident. However, if an injured person is found to be 51% or more at fault, Oregon law generally does not allow them to recover compensation.
A SIMPLE EXAMPLE
For example, if you are found to be 20% responsible for an accident and your damages total $100,000, your recovery would generally be reduced by 20%, allowing you to recover $80,000. Unlike some states, Oregon law does not prevent you from recovering compensation simply because you were more at fault than another party. However, any compensation awarded is generally reduced by your percentage of fault.
Oregon law sets time limits for filing personal injury and wrongful death claims, known as statutes of limitations. These deadlines vary depending on the type of claim and, in some cases, the party responsible for the injury. The chart below outlines the filing deadlines that commonly apply to personal injury and wrongful death claims in Oregon.
Recovering from a serious injury often means balancing medical appointments, work, family responsibilities, and conversations with insurance companies. Understanding Oregon’s personal injury laws can help bring clarity to the claims process and the options that may be available.
