In most civil actions there are strict statute of limitations which must be adhered to before a claim can be pursued.\u00a0 Think of a statute of limitation as an expiration date on your claim.\u00a0 But unlike the expiration date on your oil change sticker or gallon of milk, these expiration dates close your window of opportunity to pursue a claim.<\/p>\n

Below are statute limitations that generally apply to claims in Oregon:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. One-Year:\u00a0 Landlord -tenant claims are governed by a one-year statute of limitations for habitability claims.\u00a0 While there may be shorter time limits for other claims associated with the tenancy, generally you must bring a claim under the Oregon Residential Landlord and Tenant Act within one year.\u00a0 Also a claim for defamation (libel or slander).<\/li>\n
  2. Two-Years: Fraud, personal injury (e.g. car accidents, bike\/pedestrian accidents, trip and falls), assault and battery, false imprisonment, legal malpractice, medical malpractice and product liability.<\/li>\n
  3. Three-Years: Wrongful death.<\/li>\n
  4. Six-Years: Contract disputes, trespass, property damage.<\/li>\n
  5. Ten-Years: Enforcing court judgments.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The above are the statute of limitations applicable to civil claims.\u00a0 Criminal charges have a different set of statute of limitations.\u00a0 Also, it is important to understand that often times there are a variety of exceptions and contingencies applicable to these time limitations.\u00a0 For example, minors or incapacitated persons usually will have their statute of limitations tolled (extended) under most circumstanced.\u00a0 This means that a two-year-old victim of a car accident will have a longer statute of limitations than an adult.\u00a0 In Oregon, the two-year-old will have an additional 5 years added to his\/her limitation for a total to 7 years.\u00a0 But that will not apply in cases against public agencies which have their own notice and time requirements.\u00a0 There are also exceptions having to do with the discovery or a wrongful act.\u00a0 This is known as the discovery rule.\u00a0 It may, depending on the circumstances increase the time limits in cases such as malpractice.<\/p>\n

    The bottom line is not to wait.\u00a0 If you have been wrongly injured, you must act quickly to ascertain the applicable statute of limitation so you don\u2019t miss your opportunity to pursue your claim.\u00a0 Best course of action is to consult with an attorney who can evaluate your particular situation and advise you accordingly.\u00a0 This is something that we do at no charge here at Shlesinger & deVillenuve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
