Legal Question in Personal Injury in Oregon

7/4/10 I had an accident with my wife on a county road while riding my Classic 1985 Honda Goldwing. We want to sue "Lane County" in Eugene, Oregon. Statutes limit recovery at $3 million. No warning signs of danger, paved county road suddenly ended, locked logging gate ahead on gravel. Gate camouflaged with rock dust, no warning signs. Gate shows evidence of being hit many times. People must have died. This is GROSS NEGLIGENCE not ordinary negligence. Took hundreds of photos and video of route. Brain damage and multiple injuries. US Dept of Forestry, and Weyerhauser Corp. also at fault. Prefer to sue in Federal court.

This is an unpaid question. Need tort lawyer, bike rider preferred. I read ORS. 30.271 Limitations on liability of state for personal injury and death. This is a free question. jeff_sr @ ya hoo dot com. 7/31/10.

I do not handle cases like this, but the law firm of Kafoury McDougal in Portland does. You can reach them at 503-224-2647 or [email protected]. They provide an initial consultation visit for you at no charge, and they usually take cases on a "contingency" basis, which means that you do not have to pay them, unless they succeed in obtaining money for you from the entity that harmed you.
