Oregon injury claims explained, from incident to resolution
How Oregon's filing deadlines, comparative fault rule, Tort Claims Act notice, PIP coverage, and damages rules shape a personal injury claim.
ABOUT THIS BOOK
After an injury, the medical bills, insurance calls, and legal deadlines arrive all at once, and the rules that decide a claim are rarely explained.
The Oregon Personal Injury Guide explains how injury claims work under Oregon statutes and court decisions. It covers the two-year statute of limitations in ORS 12.110(1), the 180-day tort claim notice for claims against public bodies under ORS 30.275, and modified comparative fault and the 51 percent bar under ORS 31.600. It explains several-only liability, the ban on setoff, and the abolition of last clear chance and implied assumption of risk.
The guide walks through a claim from two points of view, the injured person and the defendant or insurer. It explains the elements of negligence, evidence, economic and noneconomic damages, the Busch decision on noneconomic damages caps, the $500,000 noneconomic cap in wrongful death cases, PIP benefits, uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage, discovery, settlement, and mandatory arbitration for claims of $50,000 or less.
A toolkit adds checklists, comparison tables, a glossary, sample letter structures, common mistakes, and questions to ask an attorney.

QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU BUY
Oregon personal injury claim: what to know before you order.
Straight answers about what the guide is, what it covers and how it reaches you.
How long is the statute of limitations for personal injury in Oregon?
For most personal injury claims, two years from the injury (ORS 12.110(1)). Claims against public bodies also need a tort claim notice within 180 days (ORS 30.275). The guide explains both deadlines.
Can someone recover in Oregon if they were partly at fault?
Often yes. Under ORS 31.600, recovery is reduced by the injured person's share of fault and barred at 51 percent or more. The guide explains how fault is allocated.
Is this legal advice?
No. It is legal information in plain language, cited to the law, so you understand your options and know what to ask. Reading it creates no attorney-client relationship.
Is it written for Oregon?
Yes. This guide is written for Oregon law and cites the Oregon statutes and rules it relies on. If your case is in another state, choose that state's edition.
