Claim Against Law Enforcement

Summary

Filing a compensation claim in Oregon involves submitting a notice of claim within 180 days of the incident, typically starting from the date of the incident or when you became aware of the harm. The statute of limitations for filing a civil lawsuit is generally 2 years from the incident. You may have claims for improper conduct by law enforcement and wrongful billing by the insurance company. Consider disputing the negative credit report entry and requesting the return of personal items from the county agency. Consulting a local attorney can provide specific guidance on these matters.
