Portland cases: the evidence that decides injury claims

- An incident report — made to the business or property manager, with a copy or reference number.
- Medical records from day one — gaps in treatment become the insurer's argument.
- Witness names and numbers — collected before everyone scatters.
- What you were wearing — footwear matters in fall cases; keep it unaltered.
- A simple log — symptoms, missed work, and expenses as they happen.

The firm may contact you to learn more and explain how Oregon claims generally work. There is no cost to request a review, and submitting the form does not create an attorney-client relationship.

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.
