The results of each case depend on the facts, the experience of the personal injury lawyer, insurance policy limits, and other factors. Most personal injury and wrongful death law firms, like ours, provide a free consultation to prospective clients.

Depending on the facts of an Oregon truck accident, a lawsuit may be filed in state or federal court. The facts will also determine if the suit should be filed in Oregon or another state. These are critical decisions that should be made by an experienced attorney.

Oregon state trial courts are called circuit courts. Each of Oregon's 36 counties has a circuit court. Oregon is divided into 27 judicial districts, each of which has one or more counties. Because some Oregon counties have relatively small populations and caseloads, the legislature has combined them into multicounty judicial districts.

The federal trial court in Oregon is the United States District Court for the District of Oregon. The District covers the State of Oregon, with courthouses in Portland, Eugene, Medford, and Pendleton.
