A: An Oregon attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for four weeks. Nationwide, jurisdictions do toll statutes of limitations under certain circumstances, but it looks like twenty-nine years have elapsed here. That's a long time under the most liberal of civil procedure allowances. Only a local attorney could advise because each state is different in handling tolling of SOLs. You could reach out to local attorneys regarding your question of whether a lawsuit was filed. It looks like that's what you're asking. Back then, courts were just starting to get digitalized, so it's possible that index no. filings might not be online. It would need to be investigated. If your family has any information about any such a lawsuit and whether a local attorney was involved, that would be the best route. It would save you lots of time and money in figuring out where the matter stands. If not, you could consider reaching out to local attorneys. Good luck
