Damages in Oregon Personal Injury Lawsuits

Accidents in personal injury claims often result in painful injuries. In many cases, these injuries require extensive medical care and result in permanent, life-altering complications—leading to physical, emotional, and financial consequences.

Through a personal injury claim, you can recover compensation for the economic and non-economic losses you experienced due to the at-fault party’s actions.

Economic damages involve tangible, financial losses, while non-economic damages refer to your physical and psychological pain and suffering.

Common types of damages available in Oregon personal injury lawsuits include the following.

• Past and future medical expenses
• Property damage
• Chronic pain
• Lost wages
• Loss of future earnings
• Disability accommodations
• Rehabilitation and physical therapy
• Depression and anxiety
• Loss of quality of life
• Post-traumatic stress disorder
• Permanent disability and disfigurement

How to Prove a Personal Injury Lawsuit

To secure compensation in a personal injury claim, you will need to supply enough evidence proving that the at-fault party’s actions caused your accident and resulting injuries. Specifically, you will need to supply enough evidence to support the four elements of negligence.

• Duty: The at-fault party owed you a duty of care at the time of the accident. This element will depend on the circumstances surrounding your case. For example, drivers owe a duty to follow Oregon traffic laws and drive safely. Property owners have a duty to maintain safe premises and warn visitors of potential hazards.
• Breach of duty: The at-fault party’s actions breached his or her duty of care. For example, a driver who runs a red light or drives under the influences breaks Oregon law and his or her duty of care. A property owner who ignores repair requests from his or her tenants also breaches his or her duty.
• Causation: The breach of duty caused your accident and resulting injuries. This element can be difficult to prove, but you can use multiple pieces of evidence to establish causation, such as surveillance footage, police reports, witness testimony, and photographic evidence.
• Damages: You sustained damages due to the at-fault party’s actions that you can collect in your lawsuit. You can use multiple pieces of evidence to prove these damages, including medical bills, invoices, receipts, and expert witness testimony.

Your attorney from Tillmann Law Personal Injury Lawyers can help you gather the evidence that you need to support each of these elements and establish the at-fault party’s liability. We will work tirelessly to craft a compelling case in your favor and hold the defendant accountable.

The Statute of Limitations for Oregon Personal Injury Claims

If you believe that you qualify for a personal injury lawsuit, it is important to speak to an attorney at Tillmann Law Personal Injury Lawyers as soon as possible. Under Oregon’s statute of limitations for personal injury claims, you have two years from the date of your accident to file. If you file your claim after this deadline, the court will likely dismiss your case.

While there are exceptions to the statute of limitations, they are not always common in personal injury cases. To identify your appropriate filing deadline and protect your right to compensation, contact a Lake Oswego personal injury lawyer.

Injured in Lake Oswego? Local Details That Affect Your Case

Lake Oswego lies mostly in Clackamas County (with smaller portions in Multnomah and Washington counties), so most Lake Oswego injury lawsuits are filed at the Clackamas County Circuit Court in Oregon City. Where your crash occurred can determine which county’s court hears the case — worth sorting out early.

Much of Lake Oswego’s traffic funnels onto Highway 43 (State Street/Macadam Avenue) along the Willamette River, plus Boones Ferry Road, Country Club Road, McVey Avenue, Kruse Way, and Stafford Road, with Interstate 5 just to the west. Lake Oswego has no MAX line, so residents rely on TriMet bus routes along these corridors — which makes pedestrian and bus-stop injuries a real concern, especially along Highway 43.

The closest major hospital is Legacy Meridian Park Medical Center in neighboring Tualatin; Providence Willamette Falls Medical Center in Oregon City also serves the area. Get treated and keep your records. Oregon’s deadline to file most personal-injury claims is two years from the date of injury (ORS 12.110), and any claim against a public body — including TriMet — requires written notice within 180 days under the Oregon Tort Claims Act. Talk with a Lake Oswego personal injury lawyer before those deadlines pass.
