Statutory Tort Compensation & Wrongful Conviction Compensation

 The Office of the State Court Administrator (OSCA) has calculated the annual adjustment to the limitations on liability of state and local public bodies for personal injury, death, and property damage or destruction. Based on these calculations, the limitations are adjusted as shown in this table:

Public Body	Claimant(s)	Claim	Adjusted Limit
state	single	injury or death	$ 2,490,600
state	multiple	injury or death	$ 4,981,300
local	single	injury or death	$ 830,300
local	multiple	injury or death	$ 1,660,400
state or local	single	property damage or destruction	$ 136,200
state or local	multiple	property damage or destruction	$ 680,900

In 2022, the Oregon Legislative Assembly passed Senate Bill (SB) 1584 (Oregon Laws 2022, chapter 105). The measure allows a wrongfully convicted person to file a petition seeking compensation in the Marion County Circuit Court or in the circuit court for the county of conviction, and directs the Office of the State Court Administrator (OSCA) to adjust these compensation amounts annually according to the methodology described in the measure. The adjusted amounts are listed below:

For petitions filed	Compensation for Wrongful Conviction
on or after 07/01/2023 and before 07/01/2024	$67,000 for each year of imprisonment $25,800 for each additional year served on parole or post-prison supervision or was required to register as a sex offender, whichever is greater
