Oregon Slip and Fall Settlement Calculator
Estimate a slip and fall settlement under Oregon law. The calculator applies this jurisdiction's own comparative fault rule and damages ceilings, and every figure below is the one our verified data holds, with the statute behind it and the date we checked it.
What Oregon law does to your claim
Four things in state law shape a slip and fall claim: how long you have to file, how soon a government must be told when it owns the property, what happens if you were partly at fault, and whether the state puts a ceiling on what a jury can award. Here is what we hold for this one.
Oregon bars recovery if plaintiff is 51% or more at fault.
Or. Rev. Stat. § 31.600·Source retrieved 2026-07-27
Oregon states a limit on non-economic damages in Or. Rev. Stat. § 31.710 and we hold that figure. Whether it can be enforced against a particular claim is unsettled: the Oregon Supreme Court's remedy-clause decisions call for a case-by-case analysis, and our own research recorded the section as not uniformly enforceable in every application. Settling a constitutional question from a one-line research note is not something we will do by putting a number on a page. The amount and its citation are on the source record, and this is an open research question for us rather than a missing URL. Ask an Oregon attorney whether the limit applies to a claim like yours.
No action arising from an act or omission of a public body or its officer, employee or agent may be maintained unless notice of claim is given within 180 days after the loss or injury, or within one year for wrongful death, not counting up to 90 days during which the injured person cannot give notice because of the injury or another incapacity. ORS 30.275(1), (2) reads: “(1) No action arising from any act or omission of a public body or an officer, employee or agent of a public body within the scope of ORS 30.260 to 30.300 shall be maintained unless notice of claim is given as required by this section. (2) Notice of claim shall be given within the following applicable period of time, not including the period, not exceeding 90 days, during which the person injured is unable to give the notice because of the injury or because of minority, incompetency or other incapacity: (a) For wrongful death, within one year after the alleged loss or injury. (b) For all other claims, within 180 days after the alleged loss or injury.” We read this section only, so it is not a complete account of suing a government in Oregon.

None on record means our verified data holds no figure of this kind for this state. It is not a finding that no limit could apply to your claim.
Held, not published means our research established a limit for this state and we are not putting a figure on it here. The note under each one says which statute it is and what stops us. The amount and its source are on our record.
What partial fault costs you in Oregon
The same claim, fracture with surgery, several months of recovery, run through the calculator above four times, with nothing changed but the share of fault assigned to the claimant. The numbers are the engine's output, not an editorial claim about what these cases are worth.
One case, run through the calculator above four times with only the claimant's share of fault changed, under Oregon law. No coverage ceiling is applied, because we would be inventing the at-fault party's policy. These shares illustrate the rule; they are not an estimate of your own fault.
Every Oregon deadline we hold
A claim can be more than one kind of case, and the clock is different for each. These are the Oregon periods in our verified data, with the statute behind each one. A deadline is the outside limit, never a target, and other rules can shorten it.

Every count below is read from our state-law data across all 51 jurisdictions, so it moves when the data does. What you will not find here is an average settlement figure: the only one we could compute is a model, and a model presented as a measurement is not a fact.
- 24 of the 51 jurisdictions we track apply modified comparative negligence with a 51% bar, and Oregon is one of them.
- Its 2 years to file is the same as the most common deadline in the country, which 25 jurisdictions use. Across the 51 jurisdictions the deadline for this case type runs from 1 year to 6 years.
- We have read the official text of 30 jurisdictions' rules on the notice or claim a government must receive before an injury suit, and Oregon is one of them: 180 days, under ORS 30.275(1), (2).
- 7 of the 51 jurisdictions limit non-economic damages (pain and suffering) in our data and Oregon is not among them, so an estimate here is not held down by a ceiling we hold.
Comparisons are drawn from the legal levers that actually move a case value, not from closed-case data, which we do not hold. See the full methodology
