What is the statute of limitations for filing a medical malpractice suit in oregon?

In general, 2 years from discovery or when it SHOULD have been discovered. Most frequently this corresponds to the date of treatment.

"Professional Malpractice: Medical malpractice actions must be commenced within two years from the date of the wrongful act or omission, or within two years of the date the injury was or reasonably should have been discovered. No medical malpractice action may be filed more than five years from the date of the act or omission giving rise to the injury, regardless of when the injury is discovered.

I am not a lawyer only licensed lawyers can give legal advise.

First, you need to get a lawyer. Second...you generally have two years AFTER you were either treated OR after you became ill/died, etc., after treatment. Also...you probably will have an extra 6 months leeway due to the NOTICE OF INTENT which is mandatory to file prior to any lawsuit...it extends the Statute of Limitations by about six months. Good luck.
