Move Afoot to Limit Injury Suits

The Oregon recreation industry making a big push for a bill that would limit injury lawsuits, such as suits by those injured while using ski resorts, gyms, on rafting trips or in community marathons. Senate Bill 754 would overturn an Oregon Supreme Court ruling in the case of a 2006 accident at the Mt. Bachelor ski resort near Bend. The state’s high court ruled in 2014 that the standard user waivers limiting liability were “unconscionable contracts.”
