Statute of Limitations for Traumatic Brain Injury Cases in Oregon
In Oregon, the Statute of Limitations for traumatic brain injury cases is generally two years from the date of the injury. This means that a lawsuit must be filed within two years of the traumatic brain injury occurring, or you may lose the right to seek compensation for your injury.
Missing the deadline for filing a lawsuit can result in your case being dismissed by the court, and you may be unable to recover any compensation for your brain injury.
