How Oregon Law Affects Your Slip and Fall Claim

Oregon uses a modified comparative fault system with a 51% bar and caps non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases at $500,000. General personal injury cases in Oregon have no statutory cap on non-economic damages. Portland's large population and active legal community contribute to a vibrant personal injury market, particularly for bicycle accident and pedestrian injury cases.

Under Oregon's modified comparative fault (50% bar) system, your settlement may be affected if you share any responsibility for the accident. Your recovery will be reduced by your fault percentage, and you are barred from recovery if your fault reaches 50% or more.
