Third party complaint in Tort Claims Act action alleging only that third-party defendant was sole and proximate cause of plaintiff’s damages and not alleging any relationship between third party plaintiff and third party defendant or their relative duties, faults or liabilities was insufficient.

Dowers Farms v. Lake County, 288 Or 669, 607 P2d 1361 (1980)

Where Oregon State Police towed plaintiff’s car but denied responsibility for towing, 180-day notice period began to run when plaintiff discovered, upon return of vehicle, that Oregon State Police were in fact responsible for injury. Adams v. Oregon State Police, 289 Or 233, 611 P2d 1153 (1980)

Where notice of claim presented on December 22, 1977 alleged that plaintiff’s injury or loss resulting from county’s failure to maintain its roads occurred from “time to time” beginning in 1974 and thereafter and action was brought in January of 1978, continuing tort was alleged and both notice and commencement of action were timely. Holdner v. Columbia County, 51 Or App 605, 627 P2d 4 (1981)

Notice of claim alleging that damage to plaintiff’s property arose from negligent maintenance of county’s roads, was sufficient to advise county of its negligent maintenance of adjacent ditches. Holdner v. Columbia County, 51 Or App 605, 627 P2d 4 (1981)

Under former version of this section, presentation by third party defendant of its notice of claim against state agency for contribution and indemnity could not be used by plaintiff to satisfy notice of claim requirements.

Under former version of this section, notice of claim provisions did not apply to public employes sued in their individual capacity. Bradford v. Davis, 290 Or 855, 626 P2d 1376 (1981)

Where plaintiff brought suit against state employees as private individuals but did not join state as defendant, plaintiff was not required to present notice of claim to state. Smith v. Pernoll, 291 Or 67, 628 P2d 729 (1981); Krieger v. Just, 319 Or 328, 876 P2d 754 (1994)

Letter informing defendant that investigation was underway and requesting medical reports setting forth physician’s findings, diagnosis, prognosis and causation of plaintiff’s resulting condition failed to identify any claim or intent to make claim by plaintiff against defendant and therefore failed to fulfill notice requirements of this section. Robinson v. Shipley, 64 Or App 794, 669 P2d 1169 (1983), Sup Ct review denied

Under version of this statute in effect at time plaintiff’s cause of action arose in January, 1979, and procedural rules then in effect but since repealed, plaintiff’s notice of intent to file claim under this section was deemed to be made on day deposited in post office and complied with 180-day time limitation. Shervey v. Clackamas County, 66 Or App 886, 675 P2d 1124 (1984)

Requirement that claimant “shall cause [notice] to be presented to public body within 180 days” requires that public body receive notice within 180 days. McDonald v. CSD, 71 Or App 751, 694 P2d 569 (1984), Sup Ct review denied

Plaintiffs did not waive right to replead and allege diligence in trying to discover cause of injury where trial court judgment was based solely on ground that notice of claim had not been timely rather than that plaintiffs had failed to plead diligence. Siegfried v. Pete Wilson Realty, 79 Or App 670, 720 P2d 392 (1986)

Dismissal of civil rights action for wrongful arrest was proper where both general tort statute and Oregon Tort Claims Act statute provide for two-year limitations period, though limitation of general tort statute should have been applied. Davis v. Harvey, 789 F2d 1332 (1986)

Where minor child, allegedly injured by negligence of public body, had not yet filed negligence claim but sought declaratory relief to determine whether potential tort claim was time-barred or whether minor’s disability pursuant to ORS 12.160 suspended Statute of Limitations, complaint seeking declaratory relief did not present justiciable controversy. Lawson v. Coos Co. Sch. Dist. No. 13, 81 Or App 358, 724 P2d 943 (1986)

Filing of claim in Tax Court is not “commencement of an action on the claim” within meaning of this section. Sanok v. Grimes, 88 Or App 536, 746 P2d 725 (1987), aff’d on other grounds, 306 Or 259, 760 P2d 228 (1988)

Accrual, under this section, of action on negligence theory for damage to plaintiffs’ crops caused by failure of timely water delivery by defendant irrigation district occurred with knowledge by plaintiffs of facts giving rise to claim and did not await awareness by plaintiffs of negligence on part of defendant.

Limitation of actions for professional malpractice under ORS 12.110 did not bar action. O’Brien v. State of Oregon, 104 Or App 1, 799 P2d 171 (1990)

Where differential treatment is inherent in any statutory scheme which continues partial sovereign immunity and Oregon Constitution permits sovereign immunity, challenged statutory scheme which extends three-year statute of limitations to most wrongful death actions but only provides two-year statute of limitations when wrongful death was government-inflicted does not violate Article I, Section 20 of the Oregon Constitution. Van Wormer v. City of Salem, 309 Or 404, 788 P2d 443 (1990)

Where there was genuine issue of material fact as to when plaintiff discovered injury that resulted in daughter’s death, summary judgment on ground that plaintiff had failed to give timely notice of tort claim was improper because one-year notice period begins to run from date of discovery of injury rather than from date of death. Stephens v. Bohlman, 107 Or App 533, 813 P2d 43 (1991), aff’d 314 Or 344, 838 P2d 600 (1992)

Notice of claim against public body must actually be received within stated period to be timely. Tyree v. Tyree, 116 Or App 317, 840 P2d 1378 (1992), Sup Ct review denied

Notice period commenced when plaintiff was able to deduce false report must have been made by individual connected with defendant hospital since on that date plaintiff had all facts necessary to commence action against hospital. Perez v. Bay Area Hospital, 315 Or 474, 846 P2d 405 (1993)

Where action is filed under federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act, state’s one-year notice requirement is not preempted. Draper v. Chiapuzio, 9 F3d 1391 (9th Cir. 1993)

Notice communicating time, place and circumstances giving rise to claim does not need to specify nature or theory of claim. Flug v. University of Oregon, 335 Or 540, 73 P3d 917 (2003)

ORS 12.020, providing that action commences upon filing if summons is served within 60 days following, applies to claims under Oregon Tort Claims Act. Baker v. City of Lakeside, 343 Or 70, 164 P3d 259 (2007)

For purposes of discovery rule, circumstances presenting mere possibility that inquiry would uncover tortious conduct of third party do not create duty to inquire. Johnson v. Multnomah County Department of Community Justice, 344 Or 111, 178 P3d 210 (2008)

Notice period for claim by minor child against public body is tolled for as long as minor is under 18 years of age. Funez v. Guzman, 687 F. Supp. 2d 1214 (D. Or. 2009)

Notice of claim by minor must be given within 270 days of discovery of alleged injuries, and ORS 12.160 does not toll this notice period. Catt v. Dept. of Human Services, 251 Or App 488, 284 P3d 532 (2012)

For purpose of determining whether notice is satisfied, “[p]ayment of all or any part of the claim” includes payment of all or part of specific claim or claims ultimately asserted against public body. Hughes v. City of Portland, 255 Or App 271, 296 P3d 642 (2013)

To determine limitation on commencement of action for battery, “injury” occurs when plaintiff knows or should have known of existence of three elements: (1) harm; (2) causation; and (3) tortious conduct. Doe v. Lake Oswego School District, 353 Or 321, 297 P3d 1287 (2013)

Plaintiff, who filed complaint but did not serve summons on defendants within 180 days of alleged injury, but served summons within 60 days after filing, commenced action on date of filing. Cannon v. Dept. of Justice, 261 Or App 680, 322 P3d 601 (2014), Sup Ct review denied

Plaintiff’s claims against Department of Human Services for failure to protect plaintiff against abuse while in foster care may proceed despite defendant’s claim that statute of ultimate repose, ORS 12.115, and two-year statute of limitations, ORS 30.265, barred plaintiff’s claims; because ORS 12.117, which specifies different limitation period for claims related to child abuse, is exception to statute of ultimate repose, and because this section does not nullify ORS 12.117, ORS 30.265 does not provide immunity from liability for child abuse claims. Sherman v. Dept. of Human Services, 368 Or 403, 492 P3d 31 (2021)
