When you've been injured in Oregon, understanding your legal rights is the foundation of everything that follows. Oregon has its own specific rules around fault, filing deadlines, and how compensation is calculated and knowing how those rules apply to your situation can make a meaningful difference in what you're able to recover.
Lawfty's approach is built on something most firms can't offer: over a decade of real case data drawn from tens of thousands of personal injury claims. That experience shapes every decision, from how your case is evaluated to which attorney is best suited to handle it. You're not getting a generalist. You're getting a lawyer whose background aligns with your injury type, your location, and the specific facts of your claim.
Oregon's legal landscape isn't one-size-fits-all. A catastrophic injury claim in Portland carries different considerations than a cycling accident in Bend or a workplace injury in the Willamette Valley. Our attorney network reflects that lawyers with real experience in Oregon's courts, familiar with regional case patterns and the evidence standards that matter most where you are.
If you've been injured, you have rights. We're here to help you understand them, protect them, and pursue the outcome you deserve.

Real outcomes for real clients. Each case built on thorough evidence, careful liability analysis, and attorneys with the right experience for the claim at hand.
Lawfty supports personal injury claims throughout Oregon. Our statewide network connects injured individuals with attorneys who have genuine experience in their region — because local knowledge of courts, case history, and legal practice makes a real difference.
Oregon's most populated region sees a high volume of motor vehicle collisions, pedestrian injuries, cycling accidents, and premises liability claims. We support injured individuals across Portland, Beaverton, Gresham, Hillsboro, and surrounding communities, helping them understand their rights and build their case before insurers set the terms.
As Oregon's state capital and a major agricultural and commercial hub, Salem and the broader Willamette Valley present a range of injury claims, from highway accidents along I-5 to workplace injuries in industrial settings. We assist clients across Marion, Polk, and Linn counties in establishing legal representation from the outset.
Serving Eugene, Springfield, Medford, Ashland, and surrounding areas. Whether your claim involves a local insurer or a large commercial carrier, having a lawyer involved before any recorded statements are made protects your position from the start.
A rapidly growing region where outdoor recreation, highway traffic, and construction activity create a distinct injury landscape, including cycling accidents, catastrophic injuries from car accidents, and premises liability claims. We assist clients across Deschutes, Jefferson, and Crook counties in getting legal support in place before engaging with any opposing insurance company.
For clients in Astoria, Newport, Coos Bay, and rural Oregon communities, access to experienced legal representation matters. We support claims across coastal and remote areas where early involvement of a lawyer is especially important given the timelines involved in preserving evidence.

In Oregon, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years from the date of injury under ORS 12.110. Missing this deadline typically eliminates your right to recover compensation. There are exceptions, including cases where an injury wasn't immediately apparent, and claims involving minors or government entities, which carry different requirements. Because some timelines can be shorter than the standard two years, having your situation assessed by an attorney early helps preserve all available options.
Oregon follows a modified comparative fault rule with a 51% bar. You can still recover compensation even if you share some responsibility for what happened, provided your share of fault does not exceed 50%. If you are found 51% or more at fault, recovery may be barred. Where fault is shared at 50% or below, compensation is reduced in proportion to your share. How fault is documented and supported by evidence from the beginning of a claim has a direct bearing on the final outcome.
Recoverable damages may include medical expenses (past and future), lost wages, loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. In catastrophic injury cases, long-term disability, permanent impairment, and future care costs are also considered. Oregon does not cap compensatory damages in most personal injury cases, though medical malpractice claims are subject to specific statutory limits. Thorough documentation of all losses, including those that develop over time is essential to recovering the full value of a claim.
Oregon medical malpractice claims must generally be filed within two years from the date the injury was discovered, or reasonably should have been. An absolute five-year limit applies from the date of the negligent act, regardless of when discovery occurred. Different timelines may apply for minors. Given the complexity of malpractice evidence and the strict deadlines involved, early legal consultation is strongly advisable.
Most personal injury attorneys in Lawfty's network work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no attorney fees unless compensation is recovered. A free case evaluation is available so you can understand your rights and options before any commitment is made.
