Who is eligible to pursue a securities arbitration claim?

In Oregon, anyone who has been harmed financially by their broker or a securities firm in some way can pursue a claim in securities arbitration, a process that is often cheaper and faster than a lawsuit. In most cases, an investor’s claim must be over $25,000 before they can file an arbitration claim, but this amount can vary depending on the state. There is no upper limit on the amount of money that can be recovered in a securities arbitration claim. Generally, investors are allowed to pursue claims against their broker or the firm for any losses they have incurred as a result of deficient services, misrepresentation, or negligence. Essentially, anyone who invested in securities through a broker or firm in Oregon and lost money as a result is eligible to pursue a securities arbitration claim. This includes individuals, entities such as corporations, and public entities. In addition, those who have a contractual right to file a claim, such as business partners, may also be eligible. In order to pursue an arbitration claim in Oregon, a claim form must be filed with the Financial Regulatory Authority (FINRA) or the state agency responsible for securities arbitration. Additionally, the claimant must pay an award or registration fee as well as other filing and hearing fees in order to begin the process. Once these steps are taken, the claimant can then proceed with the securities arbitration process.
