We Fight for Injury Victims in the State of Oregon
If you were injured because of someone else’s careless conduct, you deserve experienced legal counsel. Strong Law Accident & Injury Attorneys advocates for injured people throughout Oregon—working tirelessly to recover compensation for medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and other losses. From our Eugene office and satellite locations across the state, we handle accident cases large and small. Whether you were hurt in a car crash on I‑5, tripped on a dangerous property in Portland, or suffered a traumatic brain injury in Bend, our lawyers are here to help.
Below, attorney Jed from Strong Law explains key things to know about Oregon accident claims. He covers reporting requirements, how comparative fault works, important timelines, dealing with insurance adjusters, and when to call a lawyer. Watch the video and read the summary below.
Our firm represents clients in a wide variety of accident and injury cases. No case is too large or too small. Common claims include:
To win a personal injury case in Oregon, you must show that the defendant was negligent—that is, they failed to exercise reasonable care and caused your injuries. Oregon follows a modified comparative fault system set forth in ORS 31.600. Under this law, you can recover damages even if you were partly at fault, as long as your fault does not exceed the combined fault of all defendants. Your award is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are 30 percent responsible for a crash and your damages total $100,000, you can recover $70,000.
Insurance companies often try to blame injury victims to reduce payouts. A skilled attorney can gather evidence, interview witnesses, and work with experts to counter these tactics and minimize any comparative fault assigned to you.
Every state imposes deadlines for filing legal claims. In Oregon, you generally have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit. Wrongful death claims must be filed within three years, and property damage lawsuits within six years. These time limits come from ORS 12.110, which governs personal injury actions. Some cases, such as claims against a government entity, have shorter notice requirements. Do not wait to seek legal advice—missing a deadline will bar your claim forever.
"Just wanted to say thank you to Jed and his team at Strong Law. Not only was I happy with the outcome, but the entire process as a whole. I would definitely recommend this firm to anyone. Thanks again."
"I had a claim involving my own insurance company. I tried to negotiate with them, and they completely denied my claim – two times. I then hired Strong Law, and the change was instant. The insurance company immediately began negotiating, and Jed was able to secure an unbelievably good settlement. I will never again attempt to take-on an insurance company without Strong Law in my corner. Thank you!"
"I hired Strong Law after my car accident. Jed and his team worked hard on my case. They were professional and compassionate through my surgery and as I recovered, and they were awesome on communication. I got justice and awesome compensation. I would recommend Strong Law to anyone in my situation."

After any accident, your actions can significantly affect your ability to pursue compensation. Follow these steps to protect your health and legal rights:
Compensatory damages in Oregon fall into two categories: economic and non‑economic. Economic damages reimburse objective financial losses, while non‑economic damages address the human impact of an injury.

You may have a valid claim if someone else’s negligence or wrongful act caused your injury. An attorney can review the facts, assess liability, and explain your legal options.
Most personal injury lawsuits must be filed within two years. Wrongful death claims generally have a three‑year deadline, and property damage claims have a six‑year deadline. These time limits come from Oregon’s statute of limitations at ORS 12.110.
Yes. Oregon’s comparative negligence law allows you to recover damages as long as you were not more at fault than the defendant(s). Your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
Even seemingly small injuries can lead to significant costs and complications. A free consultation can help you understand your rights and the value of your claim.
Strong Law works on a contingency fee basis. You pay no attorney fees unless we recover money for you, and initial consultations are free.
Gather evidence, interview witnesses, and assess the circumstances surrounding the accident to establish facts and liability.
Determine the extent of damages, including medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Before founding Strong Law, attorney Jed worked as in-house counsel for GEICO, defending the very insurance companies we fight today. That experience gives us an edge when negotiating — and a strategy when litigation is necessary.
You owe us nothing unless we recover compensation for you. There’s no obligation to hire us after your consultation — and no hidden fees along the way.
Our team doesn’t just handle your case — we’re here to answer your questions, explain your options, and guide you through every step of the process with care and clarity.
We’ll review your case at no cost and explain your options clearly. Our goal is to help you recover physically and financially — and pursue the full compensation you deserve.
