Tort Claim Notice in OregonFor most Oregon claims against a governmental agency you must give proper Tort Claim notice under
ORS 30.275 within 180 days. If you have a wrongful death claim against a governmental agency in the state of Oregon you have 1 year to file tort claim notice. The time period to give tort claim notice may be extended if an injured person is unable to give tort claim notice due to injury caused by the government or a governmental agent or because of minority, incompetency or other incapacity. Tort claim notice preserves your Oregon State law claims. If you fail to provide proper tort claim notice, you will lose your Oregon state law claims and lose rights of recovery.
