Central Point, OR One-bite rule state

Oregon follows the common-law one-bite rule, so you typically must show the owner knew or should have known the dog was dangerous — making the dog’s history important evidence in your claim.

Dog attack injury claims are usually paid through the owner’s homeowner’s or renter’s insurance, and attorneys work on contingency — about a third (33.3%) of the recovery — so you pay nothing unless you win. Oregon's liability rule mainly affects how hard the case is to prove.
