- Witness names and numbers — collected before everyone scatters.

Why quick action matters in Oregon
Oregon generally allows only two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit — shorter than in neighboring states — and claims involving a government entity require formal Tort Claims Act notice within 180 days. Evidence also fades quickly. This is general information, not legal advice; a participating law firm can explain the deadlines that apply to you.

Is this a law firm?
No. OR Legal Help is a legal advertising website. It is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Your inquiry may be shared with a participating Oregon law firm for review.
Does it matter why I was on the property?
In Oregon it matters — the duty owed differs for invitees, licensees, and trespassers, with business visitors owed the most care. A participating law firm can review the details of your situation.

Should I accept the insurance company's first offer in Bend?
