After you submit a free case review, your request is delivered to a participating Oregon law firm — participating firms are paid advertisers, and each firm independently determines whether it can assist you. 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.
Oregon generally allows only two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit (ORS 12.110) — shorter than in neighboring states — and claims involving a government entity require formal Tort Claims Act notice within 180 days (ORS 30.275). Evidence also fades quickly. This is general information, not legal advice; a participating law firm can explain the deadlines that apply to you.
