Before you talk strategy, start building a record that a lawyer can actually use. The early weeks after a diagnosis are when documentation is most complete.
Consider doing these right away:
- Collect pathology and imaging reports (and keep the cover pages that identify the facility and ordering physician).
- Write down your talc-product history: approximate years, brands if known, and where the products were purchased.
- Save medical billing and insurance correspondence related to diagnosis and treatment.
- Keep any product packaging or labels—even partial items can help identify the right manufacturer(s).
Because Oregon claims often turn on evidence, not assumptions, the goal is simple: make your medical story easy to verify.
