If you have been injured in an accident in Oregon<\/a>, understanding the rules will help you begin the personal injury claim process. \u00a0Below are key state laws that are important for your personal injury lawsuit or insurance settlement.<\/p>\n

Time Limit<\/p>\n

All states have laws explaining the amount of time you have to file a lawsuit in court after being injured. \u00a0This time limit is described as a statute of limitations and in Oregon it is two years. \u00a0What this means is that an injured person has two years from the date of the injury to go to civil court and file a lawsuit. \u00a0If you do not file your case in those two years, the court system will likely refuse your case and your right to compensation will be lost.<\/p>\n

Shared Fault Rules<\/p>\n

In some instances, the person or business you are filing a claim against may argue that you are also at fault for the accident that led to your injuries. \u00a0In a shared fault case like that, Oregon has a “modified comparative negligence rule.” \u00a0This rule means the amount of compensation you’re entitled to receive will be reduced by an amount that is equal to your percentage of fault. \u00a0If you are found to be more than 50% at fault then cannot be compensated. \u00a0Oregon courts are obligated to follow the rule if the lawsuit makes it to trial but the insurance adjuster will likely bring it up prior to the trial.<\/p>\n

One Bit Rule<\/p>\n

Owners are held liable for injuries caused by their dog or animal if the injured party can prove the owner “should have known” the animal was dangerous.<\/p>\n

\"Dollars.<\/p>\n

Caps on Injury Damages<\/p>\n

For wrongful death cases in Oregon, there is $500,000 limit on non-economic damages. \u00a0Injury claims against the state government also limit the amount of compensation the injured person may receive. \u00a0If the injury occurred before 7\/1\/2014 then the cap is $1.8 million and if it occurred after then it is $4 million.<\/p>\n

Injury Claims Against the Government<\/p>\n

In Oregon, if your injury was caused by the negligence of an employee or agency of the state government, then there are different rules for compensation. \u00a0The injury claim must be filed within 180 days of injury not the two years that applies to a standard injury case.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
