You certainly can get a money settlement if you are thrown from the open bed of a pickup truck in Oregon and Washington. You can get money for pain and medical bills even if you are not wearing a seat belt. Current Oregon law dings you 5% on an injury claim if you are not belted in as required by Oregon law.

The 5% ding penalty for not wearing a seat belt won’t apply if there was not a seat belt available for you to wear. Serious injury like a head injury, broken leg and/or broken arm can occur if you as a passenger are thrown from a pickup or truck bed in Oregon or Washington.
