Step-by-Step Guide
What Should You Do After an Accident in Hillsboro?
- 1
Call 911 and Report the Accident
In Oregon, you are legally required to report accidents involving injury, death, or significant property damage. Call 911 from the scene in Hillsboro and request both police and medical assistance.
- 2
Seek Immediate Medical Attention
Go to a hospital or urgent care — even if you feel fine. Many injuries like whiplash, concussions, and internal bleeding don't show symptoms immediately. Nearby hospitals include Kaiser Permanente Westside Medical Center.
- 3
Document Everything at the Scene
Take photos and videos of all vehicles, injuries, road conditions, traffic signals, and skid marks. Get names, phone numbers, and insurance information from all parties and witnesses.
- 4
Do Not Speak to Insurance Adjusters Without an Attorney
Insurance companies will contact you quickly — often within 24 hours. Their goal is to get a recorded statement they can use against you and to offer a lowball settlement before you understand your claim's true value.
- 5
Contact a Personal Injury Attorney Immediately
Oregon's statute of limitations is 2 years (Or. Rev. Stat. § 12.110). However, critical evidence — surveillance footage, witness memories, vehicle data — degrades rapidly. The sooner you call Bond Legal at (866) 423-7724, the stronger your case.
- 6
Keep All Medical Records and Bills
Every doctor visit, prescription, therapy session, and medical bill becomes evidence of your damages. Keep a daily journal documenting your pain levels, limitations, and emotional impact.
Oregon Law
How Does Oregon Personal Injury Law Work?
Modified Comparative Fault (51% Bar)
Source: Or. Rev. Stat. § 31.600
Oregon bars recovery if your fault is 51% or greater. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.
Statute of Limitations: 2 years
Source: Or. Rev. Stat. § 12.110
In Oregon, you generally have 2 years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline typically bars you from recovering any compensation. There are limited exceptions for minors, discovery of latent injuries, and government claims — consult an attorney immediately.
Damage Caps
Non-economic damages capped at approximately $500,000 in most cases (adjusted periodically). Economic damages are uncapped. Oregon courts have struck down caps in certain contexts.
Key Oregon Laws Affecting Your Case
Modified Comparative Fault (51% Bar)
Or. Rev. Stat. § 31.600
Oregon follows modified comparative negligence. If you are 51% or more at fault, you recover nothing. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.
2-Year Statute of Limitations
Or. Rev. Stat. § 12.110
Oregon has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury. Wrongful death claims must be filed within 3 years (Or. Rev. Stat. § 30.020).
Non-Economic Damage Cap
Or. Rev. Stat. § 31.710
Oregon caps non-economic damages at approximately $500,000 (adjusted periodically). However, the Oregon Supreme Court struck down caps in certain contexts as unconstitutional (Horton v. OHSU, 2016), and the legal landscape continues to evolve.
Mandatory Auto Insurance
Or. Rev. Stat. § 806.060
Oregon requires minimum liability coverage of 25/50/20 ($25,000 per person, $50,000 per accident BI, $20,000 PD). UM/UIM coverage is mandatory. PIP ($15,000) is also mandatory.
No Pay, No Play Law
Or. Rev. Stat. § 31.180
Oregon's 'no pay, no play' law limits uninsured drivers' ability to recover non-economic damages if they were uninsured at the time of the crash.
DUII Law
Or. Rev. Stat. § 813.010
Oregon uses DUII (Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants). BAC limit is .08 for adults, .00 for those under 21. Implied consent applies. Oregon's per se standard for drug impairment applies to any measurable amount of controlled substances.
