Tillamook Personal Injury Frequently Asked Questions (FAQS)
How can I prove negligence?⌄
Proving negligence in a personal injury case in Tillamook will depend on the type of personal injury case you are filing and the specific facts of your case. Generally speaking, however, you will need to prove that the defendant’s behavior was less than the level of care that a reasonable person would expect, and that a reasonable person would consider the defendant’s behavior to be negligent. For example, in a car crash case, negligence can involve any behavior that is unreasonable given the circumstances, whether it is violating a traffic law or driving too fast for conditions during a storm.
What is an ideal timeline for my personal injury case?⌄
Typically, Oregon law requires lawsuits to be filed within two years from the date of the injury.
What type of damages can I seek in a personal injury lawsuit?⌄
Most plaintiffs in personal injury lawsuits can seek compensatory damages, which include both economic and non-economic damages.
