Filing Deadline in Oregon
Oregon has a 2-year statute of limitations for product liability claims, with the discovery rule for latent diseases.
⚠️ Important: Many workers don't connect their lung disease to engineered stone until years after exposure. Under the discovery rule, your deadline may start from when you discovered the connection. Don't assume you've missed your window — consult an attorney.
Workers' Compensation & Your Lawsuit Rights in Oregon
