How federal and Oregon claims work together
A single unwanted call or text can support more than one claim. The federal TCPA addresses how the communication was placed, including autodialed calls, prerecorded and artificial-voice messages, and calls to numbers on the National Do Not Call Registry. Oregon telephone solicitation statutes and the Oregon Unlawful Trade Practices Act address conduct under Oregon law and can add remedies. Federal TCPA statutory damages of $500-$1,500; the UTPA allows statutory damages and possible punitive damages.
