Expunge One Oregon Conviction
- Q. How long do I have to file a personal injury claim?
- A: You did not state what city the injury happened. In Portland, the homeowner or business is responsible for maintaining the sidewalk in front of their home or business. They should have either business or homeowners insurance. Be sure to get some photos of the sidewalk that you tripped on. Hopefully, you had a witness who helped you obtain prompt medical attention.
- Q. My wife was hit while driving her car, after the other driver failed to yield right of way at his stop sign.
- A: If you settle with the at-fault party for the contested vehicle amount and sign a release, you will most likely preclude any settlement or award for the injury settlement. You can accept the uncontested amount offered provided you do not have to sign a release. If you think you are being lowballed on the amount, you can hire an expert to give you an appraisal of your vehicle. The difference between the amount they give and the amount the expert states your vehicle is worth will need to be resolved when the injury portion of the case is resolved after treatment is completed. If you are in Oregon, you have a two-year statute of limitations.
- Q. I sold my disabled (cerebral palsy) grandchilds puppy (no paperwork) and she wants back. Lady said no. Help
- A: Once you sell the dog, the dog is theirs. You could offer to buy it back for a higher price. Or you could buy a replacement dog. That is about all you can do. I feel sorry for both the dog and the kid as neither of them had anything to do with the transaction and they are the ones that suffer.
