Eugene, OR Personal Injury FAQ

• What is Oregon’s statute of limitations for personal injury claims?
  In Oregon, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the date of the injury. Your case can be blocked if you try to file after this statute expires.
• What does comparative negligence mean?
  In Oregon, comparative negligence is used for injury claims. Comparative negligence means that liability for an accident can be divided between the plaintiff and the defendant. Any recovery made by the plaintiff is reduced by their own liability percentage. Also, if their liability is at least 51%, then the court won’t allow a recovery against the defendant.
• What are the four elements of liability?
  To prove liability in a personal injury claim, four elements usually must be present: (1) duty of care owed to the plaintiff by the defendant; (2) breach of that duty by the defendant; (3) causation proved between the breach and the plaintiff’s injury; and (4) damages were caused by the injury, such as physical, mental, and/or financial harm.
• How long does it take to finish a personal injury case?
  The length of time it takes to finish a personal injury case can vary widely depending on several factors, such as the complexity of the case, the number of parties involved, and the willingness of the parties to settle. Some cases may be resolved quickly through settlement negotiations, while others could take more than a year to reach a resolution in court. The legal process can be time-consuming, involving investigations, discovery, depositions, and other legal procedures. It's important to have realistic expectations and work with an experienced personal injury attorney who can help guide you through the legal process, so you can know that there are no unnecessary delays.
• What are contingency fees?
  Contingency fees are fees that personal injury attorneys charge on a "no win, no fee" basis. This means that the client will only have to pay attorney fees if their attorney wins their case or secures a settlement for the client. If the client’s case ends in a win for the defendant, then the client will not be expected to pay attorney fees.
