What's local about an injury claim in Beaverton

Your case would likely be heard in Hillsboro

Beaverton is in Washington County, according to Washington County Elections. Most injury cases start with an insurance claim. If a lawsuit is needed, Oregon law says it is filed in the county where the crash happened or where a person being sued lives or, for a business, regularly does business (ORS 14.080(1)–(2)). For a crash in Beaverton, that often means Washington County Circuit Court. The main courthouse is at 145 NE 2nd Avenue in Hillsboro, according to the Oregon Judicial Department.

If the other driver lives in Multnomah County, or a business you are suing regularly does business there, the case could be filed there instead, under the same statute (ORS 14.080(1)–(2)). Where to file is a choice your lawyer makes with you.

Getting to court is easier than many people expect. The Oregon Judicial Department says the Hatfield Government Center MAX station, at the west end of the MAX line, is within one block of the courthouse. It also says free two-hour parking is available nearby.

Getting your Beaverton police report

If Beaverton Police responded to your crash, you can ask for a copy of the report. The Beaverton Police Department says requests go through the City's online Police Records Request Portal. You can also call, mail or visit the department at 6125 SW Hall Blvd. in Beaverton. The department says approval can take 10 to 15 business days, and a fee may apply. Having the case number ready helps.

The police report is not the same as the report you may have to file yourself with the Oregon DMV. Our guide on what to do after a car accident in Oregon explains the DMV report.

Crashes involving TriMet or a city vehicle

Many Beaverton residents ride TriMet. The Beaverton Transit Center, at 4050 SW Lombard, is served by the MAX Blue and Red Lines, the WES commuter train and many bus lines, according to TriMet.

TriMet, the City of Beaverton, Washington County and the State are public bodies under the Oregon Tort Claims Act (ORS 30.260(4)). If one of them, or one of their drivers, may be at fault for your injury, you generally must give notice of your claim within 180 days of the injury, or within one year for a claim based on a death, before you can sue (ORS 30.275(1)–(2)). The law allows notice in a few ways, but formal written notice is the safest course (ORS 30.275(3)). The deadline to file a lawsuit against a public body is generally two years (ORS 30.275(9); ORS 12.110(1)). For a death claim, that is shorter than the three years that generally applies against a private party (ORS 30.020(1)). If another driver hit the bus or car you were in, you may also have a separate claim against that driver with its own deadline.

There is also a cap on what you can recover from a public body. See Oregon's current tort claim limits.

The roads where Beaverton crashes happen

Beaverton sits where several busy roads meet. Oregon Route 217 runs south from U.S. 26 (the Sunset Highway) through Beaverton toward Tigard. TriMet notes that its Sunset Transit Center sits inside the cloverleaf where highways 26 and 217 meet. The Oregon Department of Transportation says OR 217 had "10 interchanges in just over seven miles." It says that spacing, with heavy traffic, "led to high crash rates and travel delays."

Local streets carry heavy traffic too. TriMet runs bus lines named for Canyon Road, Tualatin Valley (TV) Highway and Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway, all of which reach the Beaverton Transit Center. A crash on a state highway, a county road or a city street can change which agencies hold records, so it helps to write down exactly where your crash happened.

What to do right now if you were hurt in Beaverton

• Get medical care and follow your treatment plan.
• Call your own insurer and ask about Personal Injury Protection (PIP), the part of every Oregon auto policy that pays early medical bills no matter who caused the crash.
• Check whether you must file a DMV crash report within 72 hours. See what to do after a car accident in Oregon.
• Request the police report through the Beaverton Police records portal if officers responded.
• Write down the exact location, including the road, nearest cross street, and whether TriMet or a public vehicle was involved.
• Mark two dates: 180 days for notice to a public body, or one year for a death claim (ORS 30.275(2)), and two years for most injury lawsuits (ORS 12.110(1)).
• Partly at fault? You may still have a claim. Ask us about it.

Not every injury needs a lawyer. If your car was damaged but no one was hurt, you can often handle it with the insurers on your own. If you are hurt, fault is disputed, a public body is involved, or an insurer has denied your claim, a free consultation can help you decide. Call (971) 545-8622 or contact us. Consultations are available in Arabic.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where would my Beaverton injury lawsuit be filed?

Under ORS 14.080(1)–(2), an Oregon injury lawsuit is filed in the county where the crash happened or where a person being sued lives or, for a business, regularly does business. Beaverton is in Washington County, so a Beaverton crash case is often filed in Washington County Circuit Court, whose main courthouse is at 145 NE 2nd Avenue in Hillsboro. If the other driver lives in another county, filing there may also be allowed.

How do I get a Beaverton police report for my crash?

The Beaverton Police Department says you can request a copy through the City of Beaverton's online Police Records Request Portal, or by calling, mailing or visiting the department at 6125 SW Hall Blvd. in Beaverton. The department says approval can take 10 to 15 business days, and a fee may apply. Have your case number, date and location ready.

Is there a different deadline if a TriMet bus hit me in Beaverton?

Usually, yes. If TriMet or its operator may be at fault, Oregon law generally requires notice of a claim against a public body within 180 days of the injury, or within one year for a claim based on a death (ORS 30.275(1)–(2)). The lawsuit itself generally must be filed within two years (ORS 30.275(9)). If another driver caused the crash, a separate claim against that driver has its own deadline.
