Looking for advice even though your claim seems to be going OK?

Your workers' compensation claim may be going fine, but you still have questions. The insurance company sends letters and forms but rarely explains them. At Aldrich & Brunot, LLC, we offer a one-hour meeting with a workers' comp lawyer who will explain what's going on in plain English.

Is This Right for You?

This meeting is for injured Oregon workers whose claim has no dispute right now. It may help if:

• Your claim was accepted and you don't know what happens next
• You got a letter or form from the insurer that you don't understand
• The insurer wants a recorded statement from you
• You have an independent medical exam (IME) coming up
• Your time-loss checks or medical treatment are confusing
• You want a lawyer to look over your file and make sure you're being treated fairly

Was your claim denied or benefits cut off? Are you thinking about settling? These situations imply a need for litigation, so this paid counseling service is not right for you. Please see our Workers’ Compensation FAQ page instead. Deadlines are short, so contact us right away.

How It Works

• Contact us. Request an advice appointment or call (503) 536-1737 to set up a meeting.
• Bring your papers. Bring insurer letters, medical records, work notes and payment records. If you want us to review your whole claim file, you may need to ask your insurer for a copy.
• Meet with a lawyer. The first hour costs $200. We'll answer your questions and explain what comes next.
• Need more time? You can keep working with us at the lawyer's hourly rate, billed in 6-minute increments. We'll tell you the rate before any more work begins.

Why Is There a Fee?

Oregon law strictly controls how lawyers for injured workers get paid. Usually, we're paid only when there's a dispute, either by the insurance company or from a share of your settlement. When your claim is going smoothly, there's no dispute and likely no basis for a settlement, so this flat fee lets you get a lawyer's help anyway.

Things to Know

• This is a “limited scope” representation for advice only. We will not contact the insurance company for you or appear before the Workers' Compensation Board, Division, or any other tribunal on your behalf.
• If we find a real problem, the meeting is free. If your claim turns out to need legal action, we’ll waive the $200 fee.
• Getting documents is up to you. Please bring any records you want us to review. If you want documents reviewed in advance, you must get them to us. We are happy to review a limited number of documents in advance, but not a whole claim file. Be reasonable.

These consultations function under a “limited-scope” retainer, and Aldrich & Brunot, LLC does not represent you beyond this meeting unless we both agree in writing. Every claim is different, and we can't guarantee any result.
