If you’re injured in a slip and fall accident, compensation may be sought from the liable party. Compensation includes medical expenses, such as hospital bills and rehabilitation costs, as well as lost wages if your injuries prevent you from working or returning to work. Pain and suffering may also be awarded for the physical pain and emotional distress caused by the accident. In cases of extreme negligence, a court may award additional compensation to prevent future offenses.
Yes, Oregon's premise liability laws require property owners to maintain safe premises for visitors. If a hazardous condition—such as a wet floor, uneven surface, or poor lighting—causes an injury, the property owner may be held liable. To pursue compensation, it must be proven that the owner knew, or should have known, about the danger and failed to address it or provide adequate warning.
Our Oregon slip and fall accident lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay nothing upfront. Our lawyer’s fee is a percentage of the settlement awarded, ranging from 33% to 40%. This fee structure ensures you can focus on your recovery and pursue compensation without worrying about upfront costs. You only pay if we win your case.
In Oregon, you generally have two years from the date of the slip and fall accident to file a personal injury claim. However, exceptions may apply. For example, if the injuries were not immediately apparent, the two-year clock may start when the injury is discovered. Additionally, if the injured party is a minor, the time limit begins when they turn 18. For those who are legally incapacitated, the filing period may be extended, but only up to five years.
Hiring an Oregon slip and fall accident lawyer is important because determining fault can be complex. Property owners may deny responsibility and remove vital evidence like spills, after the accident. A lawyer can investigate the scene, gather evidence, and demonstrate that the property owner knew—or should have known—about the hazard but failed to address it. They also handle negotiations with insurance companies, who often try to minimize payouts by shifting blame onto the injured person. Having a lawyer on your side gives you the best chance to secure fair compensation while you focus on recovery. This is especially true if the case is taken to trial.
