Pre Post Offer Damages Split in Oregon

Under Oregon law, the division of damages between a pre-offer and post-offer period is governed by ORS § 17.065, which sets a statutory threshold of $10,000 for determining how costs and interest are allocated. The rule applies when a plaintiff makes an offer of judgment that the defendant does not accept, and the plaintiff later recovers a judgment exceeding that $10,000 figure. In such cases, the statute directs a specific method for splitting recoverable costs and prejudgment interest between amounts accruing before and after the offer. The exact factors and calculation steps are detailed in the official source. The worked example below illustrates the process.
