Oregon Brain Injury Lawyer

Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) alter lives in seconds. If another person’s negligence put you in this position, you need a lawyer who understands the medicine, the statutes and the courtroom. Johnson Law, P.C. has recovered millions for Oregonians with brain injuries. Your consultation is free: 971‑205‑3266.

Why Traumatic Brain Injuries Demand Specialized Legal Representation

  • TBIs often involve invisible damage—insurance adjusters downplay what they can’t see.
  • Lifelong care is expensive (neurology, neuro‑psych, vocational rehab). Settlements must cover future costs, not today’s bills.
  • Defense teams use junk science and “mild concussion” rhetoric. We use board‑certified experts and objective testing to prove the full impact.

Oregon‑Specific Brain Injury Laws & Statistics

According to the CDC, Oregon reports roughly 5,000 TBI‑related hospitalizations each year. Oregon law limits the time you have to act:

Statute of Limitations for TBI Claims in Oregon

  • Personal Injury: 2 years from the date of injury (ORS 12.110).
  • Wrongful Death: 3 years from the date of the fatal injury (ORS 30.020).

Miss the deadline and the court will bar your claim—no exceptions.

Comparative Negligence Explained

Oregon follows a modified comparative negligence rule (ORS 31.600). You can recover damages if you are 49 percent or less at fault; your award is reduced by your fault percentage.

Symptoms, Diagnosis & Long‑Term Effects of TBI

Not every brain injury presents like Hollywood trauma. Common post‑accident signs include:

  • Headache, dizziness, blurred vision
  • Memory gaps, slowed processing, difficulty concentrating
  • Mood swings, depression, anxiety, sleep disruption
  • Seizures (especially within first week)

Diagnosis: CT or MRI within 24 hours catches hemorrhage, hematoma or edema. Later imaging—DTI, fMRI—highlights micro‑structural damage. A neurologist may also use neuro‑psych testing and the Glasgow Coma Scale.

Long‑Term Effects: Cognitive fatigue, executive function loss, chronic migraines, seizure disorders, PTSD. These drive lifetime costs that exceed $3 million for a severe TBI.

Oregon Brain Injury FAQ

What is the average settlement for a TBI in Oregon?

Anywhere from $100,000 for a concussion with six months of treatment to multi‑million‑dollar verdicts for severe cognitive impairment. Three variables drive value: injury severity, insurance coverage and fault allocation.

Can I have a TBI and not know it?

Yes. Symptoms can hide beneath pain meds, stress and other injuries. If you notice headaches, fog or memory gaps, demand imaging.

Is a concussion a traumatic brain injury?

Yes. Concussion is the medical term for mild TBI. Even “mild” means brain cells died.

How long do I have to file a claim?

Two years for personal injury, three for wrongful death. Don’t wait—evidence degrades.

How do lawyers get paid?

Contingency fee. We advance all costs and only collect if we recover money for you.
