What do I need to do to preserve evidence in my Oregon Product Liability case?

PRESERVE ALL EVIDENCE and SEEK NEEDED DENTAL/MEDICAL ATTENTION:  

  • Keep all receipts or other purchase records.
  • Take photos
  • Carefully preserve any evidence and document the location of evidence at all times.
  • Call us at (503) 238-1010 to draft a letter requesting the at-fault party to preserve all evidence in the at-fault party’s possession.
