Navigating a motorcycle accident claim in Oregon requires a clear understanding of the state’s specific laws and regulations regarding motorcycles and personal injury claims. Our experienced motorcycle accident attorneys are well-versed in Oregon’s legal framework and can help you comprehend how it impacts your case.
Oregon follows a “modified comparative negligence” system when it comes to personal injury cases, including motorcycle accident cases. Under this system:
It is, therefore, crucial to recognize that your level of fault for the accident can directly impact the compensation you receive. Insurance companies often try to assign a higher percentage of fault to the injured party to minimize their payouts. This is where having a skilled Oregon motorcycle accident attorney becomes crucial, as we can work to establish liability and minimize your share of fault.
Oregon requires all motorcyclists and their passengers to wear helmets while riding. Failure to do so may not only result in safety risks but could also affect your ability to recover damages in the event of an accident. The liable insurance companies may argue that your failure to wear a helmet contributed to the severity of your injuries.
The statute of limitations for filing a motorcycle accident lawsuit in Oregon is typically two years from the date of the accident. This means you have only two years from the date of the accident to initiate legal action. Failing to file your claim within this timeframe may result in the court dismissing your case.
