Portland Burn Injury Attorney
Fighting For Burn Injury Accident Victims in Oregon
Burn victims must endure some of the greatest challenges of those who are injured from various accidents, including car accidents and truck accidents. Not only does the injury cause harm to the outside of your body, but it can also severely damage tissue. If the injury is a second or third-degree burn, the skin becomes irreparably damaged.
Burn injuries often require skin grafting and other surgical procedures. In some cases, cosmetic and corrective procedures are also necessary because of the permanent scarring. If your injury was caused by a negligent individual, our firm can step in to hold him or her responsible for the resulting damages!

What is the Statute of Limitations for Burn Injury Claims in Oregon?
When dealing with burn injury claims in Oregon, it is critical to understand the statute of limitations. The statute of limitations helps set a legal timeframe for a victim to file a lawsuit. In Oregon, the statute of limitations for burn injury claims is generally two years from the date of the injury. However, exceptions may apply depending on the circumstances of the case. If the burn injury was not immediately apparent or the victim could not have reasonably discovered it, the statute of limitations may be extended. This rule applies when the injury's cause is not immediately evident, such as in cases of delayed complications.
