Smaller Cases Could Be Resolving by an ORS 20.080 Demand

Under ORS 20.080, a claim can be made for damages for personal injury up to $10,000.  The insurance company must respond within 30 days.  If the insurance company does not pay the full amount and a lawsuit is filed, the insurance company will be responsible for attorney fees and costs if a jury ultimately awards more than the amount offered during that 30 days.

This statute is very helpful in resolving smaller cases.  There are specific steps that must be taken to satisfy the requirements of the statute.  If you have a smaller case that might be resolved through ORS 20.080, please contact us at 541-382-5885 or through email at http://www.brotherslaw.com/.
