Why Hiring an Attorney for Small-Claim Damages in Oregon is Crucial | Best-Rated Oregon injury Attorneys

  Why Hiring an Attorney for Small-Claim Damages in Oregon is Crucial

Oregon has created a law (ORS 20.080) which is intended to level the playing field for injured parties with smaller claims and to promote these injured parties’ ability to get legal counsel. Generally, the law accomplishes this by awarding lawyer fees to a party who successfully uses a lawyer to represent them in recovering their damages (medical costs, property losses, and other expenses including as lost wages). These fees for your lawyer are awarded if you make a demand for payment under $10,000.00, and the defendant (or their insurance company) declines the offer or offers less than you demand. If you subsequently are awarded more, you are also entitled to attorney fees under the law.

  ORS 20.080: The $10,000 Limit That Can Cost You Attorney Fees

When handling small tort claims in Oregon, ORS 20.080 is a powerful tool that enables plaintiffs to recover attorney fees—but only if the claim is managed correctly. One of the most common and costly mistakes lawyers make is pleading for more than $10,000 in damages after making a settlement demand under the statute. This mistake can entirely forfeit your right to attorney fees.
