Oregon's Fault System
Oregon uses a modified comparative negligence system with a 50% bar. Injured parties can recover damages only if they are less than 50% at fault. Compensation is reduced in proportion to the percentage of fault. Detailed documentation, including medical records and witness statements, is essential to establish liability and maximize recovery.
