Legal Landscape in Oregon
What PI attorneys need to know about OR tort law.
Tort System
Oregon follows the traditional at-fault (tort) system for auto accidents. Injured drivers can pursue a claim directly against the at-fault driver or their insurance company. There is no personal injury protection (PIP) threshold to meet before filing a lawsuit. This means every accident with injuries is potentially recoverable through a third-party claim, making Oregon an active market for MVA lead generation.
Comparative Negligence
Oregon follows modified comparative negligence with a 51% bar. A plaintiff who is 51% or more at fault cannot recover damages.
Damage Caps
Non-economic damages capped at $500,000 in personal injury cases. Punitive damages are not capped by statute but must bear a reasonable relationship to compensatory damages.
MVA Lead Pricing in Oregon

Oregon's MVA lead pricing falls in the mid-range nationally. The Portland, Salem, and Eugene metro areas command the highest CPLs within the state due to attorney density and advertising competition. Exclusive leads are recommended for firms seeking the highest conversion rates.
Why Firms Buy MVA Leads in Oregon
What makes OR a strategic market for personal injury firms.
Oregon's modified 51% bar comparative negligence and at-fault tort system create standard PI case structure. No caps on non-economic damages keep case values competitive. With 587 fatalities in 2023 and a fatality rate of 13.9 per 100,000, Oregon produces solid crash volume. The fatality rate per VMT (1.59 per 100 million miles) is notably above the national average.
I-5 and US-26 are the primary crash corridors. Portland, Salem, and Eugene are the top markets. Oregon's diverse geography (urban Portland traffic, coastal Highway 101, mountain pass driving on I-84) creates varied crash profiles. Heavy rainfall and fog in the Willamette Valley, winter conditions in mountain passes, and growing metro area congestion all contribute to crash frequency. The state's 10-year statute of limitations for property damage (separate from the 2-year PI limit) and mandatory UM coverage create additional case dynamics.

Common questions about buying MVA leads in OR.
Oregon uses a modified comparative negligence system with a 51% bar. A plaintiff can recover damages as long as their fault does not reach 51%. If the plaintiff is 51% or more at fault, they are barred from recovery. Damages are reduced by the plaintiff's percentage of fault. This is the most common negligence system in the United States.
In Oregon, you have 2 years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline typically bars you from recovering any compensation. For wrongful death claims, a separate statute may apply. It is important to engage an attorney quickly after an accident to preserve evidence and meet filing deadlines.
Oregon requires drivers to carry minimum liability coverage of $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident for bodily injury, plus $20,000 for property damage (25/50/20). Oregon also requires personal injury protection (PIP) coverage of at least $15,000. Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage is also required at $25,000 per person. These minimums often fall short of covering serious accident injuries, which is why many MVA cases involve underinsured claims.
Exclusive MVA leads in Oregon typically range from $240 to $310 per lead, depending on case type, geographic targeting, and lead quality requirements. Live transfer leads range from $528 to $775. Pricing is influenced by the concentration of personal injury firms in the Portland, Salem, and Eugene metro areas and overall demand for cases in the state.
