01 · Your filing deadline
What is the deadline in Oregon?
Oregon's personal injury SOL is 2 years (ORS § 12.110). An action for abuse of a vulnerable person must be commenced within 7 years after discovery of the conduct (ORS § 124.130). Oregon does not require pre-suit notice for nursing home negligence claims but does for government-operated facilities (ORS § 30.275). A lawyer can confirm yours.

Deadlines vary; a lawyer can confirm yours. An older diagnosis or a past filing window does not, by itself, establish whether you have a claim.
