Results may vary depending on your particular facts and legal circumstances.
In Oregon, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Filing within this timeframe is crucial; if you miss the deadline, you may lose your right to seek compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and other related expenses. Acting quickly also helps preserve evidence and strengthens your case.
At Senft Injury Advocates, our Oregon truck accident lawyers work on a contingency fee basis meaning there are no hidden fees or out-of-pocket costs—if we don’t win, you don’t pay. Our fee is only a percentage of the settlement or verdict we win for you, typically ranging from 33% to 40%. This ensures you have access to legal representation without financial risk while we fight to secure the best possible outcome for your case.
The compensation from a truck accident claim in Oregon depends on factors such as the severity of your injuries, the clarity of liability, and the circumstances of the crash. Typically, you can recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. In cases of extreme negligence, additional compensation may be awarded to punish the wrongdoer. Oregon does have a cap on pain and suffering set to $500,000. Hiring an attorney is especially crucial in truck accidents as they often involve large corporations with higher insurance limits for compensation.
You could handle your own truck accident claim, much like you could try to fix your car engine—but your chances of success are much higher with an expert. This is especially true for truck accident cases as they are more complex than car accidents. Truck accidents abide by federal and state regulations, commercial insurance policies, and involve multiple parties. An Oregon truck accident lawyer will investigate the accident, determine liability, and negotiate aggressively with insurance companies. If a fair settlement isn’t reached, they are prepared to take your case to trial to fight for the compensation you deserve.

Legal Process
4 Key Steps to Compensation
01
Understanding Your Story
Your case starts with the discovery process. While you get the medical treatment you need, our personal injury law firm will compile evidence from multiple sources. Once we’ve got the facts to back up your case, we’ll file a claim against the at-fault party’s insurance.
02
Filing Your Claim
The next step in the process is the deposition, which involves questioning from the opposing party’s legal team. During this time, the opposing side may try to invalidate your case to diminish the compensation amount. This part can feel intimidating, but you won’t go through it alone. We’ll stand beside you and fight back against any unfair lines of questioning.
03
Finding Fair Ground
The next stage is mediation, where we’ll meet with the other party to attempt to reach an agreement without having to take the matter to court. We’ll negotiate for your best interests and carefully review any offer you receive. If a fair settlement can't be reached, we will take your case to trial and fight for the compensation you deserve.
04
Your Justice, Secured
If the case goes to trial, we’ll continue to represent the justice you deserve. Whether negotiating a pretrial settlement or fighting for you in court, we’ll work tirelessly to help you pursue compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering, so you can focus on moving forward with your life.
