Fault rule
Modified comparative fault (51%)
Crossing 51 percent fault can block many injury recoveries. Rain, bicycle traffic, and I-5 wrecks are common Portland-area issues.
Typical filing window

Ranges vary by claim type. Confirm the date that applies to you with a participating attorney.
Auto system
At-fault
No-fault states often start with PIP benefits. At-fault states usually look first at who caused the wreck.

Local context
Oregon Law: Key Points
Oregon adopts modified comparative fault. Once your share of fault exceeds 51 percent, many injury claims are cut off. Portland-area residents often deal with rain-related wrecks, bicycle crashes, and I-5 collisions.
A two-year window usually applies to injury lawsuits. Certain claims involving public agencies carry shorter notice deadlines. An Oregon attorney can verify which dates govern your matter.
Issues that often come up in Oregon reviews
01
Rain, bikes, and I-5
Portland-area reviews often include wet-road collisions, bicycle and pedestrian incidents, and I-5 or I-84 wrecks. Visibility and lighting arguments are common.
02
Public-body notice
Some claims against public bodies have shorter notice rules than a two-year injury range. That comes up after wrecks with transit vehicles or falls on public property.
03
Family and DUI
Submitting a form does not start a Multnomah County case and does not make GoFreeLegal your attorney. A reviewing lawyer can explain the local circuit court process.
