Q: How can I file a complaint over $10,000 in oregon court? is this a personal injury suit?
I was hit in the face by a crazed women and her cell phone, while walking the street in Eugene Oregon. I was not at a business. I have horreible scars on my face that makes it hard to be in public. I suffer from massive migraines.
A: You just draft a complaint and file it, then serve her. However, you might consult with a personal injury attorney first to go over all of your options.
A: Yours is a personal injury claim. Before filing a lawsuit, you should first consider whether you are likely to receive anything from the miscreant who injured you. If she has no money and no property, she is "judgment proof," and pursuing the case may not be worth your time and effort. You typically have two years from the date of the incident to file a lawsuit, so I recommend you contact an attorney to discuss your options.
