Oregon Workers' Compensation
People get hurt on the job every day. When an injury requires medical treatment or keeps you from working, it can become a workers' compensation claim — and that's often where the trouble starts. Claims get denied outright, requiring an appeal to a judge. Accepted claims run into their own problems: lost wages paid late or incorrectly, treatment denied, or a claim closed before you've actually recovered.
If you or a loved one has been hurt on the job, get medical attention first, then file a claim. Oregon's workers' compensation system is complex, and it's easy to end up shortchanged. If you've already filed and feel like you're not getting what you're owed, contact our office.
We Are Here to Help
- Denied or disputed workers' compensation claims
- Late or incorrect time-loss checks
- Refused medical treatment
- Closed Claims
- Employers who won't honor medical work restrictions
- Settlement negotiations
You deserve fully paid medical treatment, lost wages, permanent disability benefits, and vocational retraining — and you need someone who knows how to fight the insurer to get it.
Personal Injury
A motor vehicle collision or other personal injury is stressful on every front — you're hurt and trying to get treatment, your car may be undrivable, and often two or more insurance companies are pressing you for information at once. Talking to a lawyer early can level the playing field.
Our goal is to handle the insurance companies so you can focus on healing.
We help with:
- Keeping insurance companies from pressuring you directly
- Making sure your medical treatment goes smoothly while you heal
- Evaluating whether settlement or litigation is the right path once you've recovered
Social Security Disability
The Social Security system offers two main benefits: Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Qualifying for either typically depends on getting a medical provider to confirm, in writing, that your verifiable medical condition is preventing you from getting or keeping a job.
If your claim has already been denied, time matters — denials must be challenged promptly. Call our office to find out whether we can help.
We help with:
- Determining whether SSDI, SSI, or both apply to your situation
- Gathering the medical documentation your claim needs
- Challenging a denial within the required deadline
Construction Accidents
Construction is one of the most dangerous lines of work. If you were hurt on a job site, workers’ compensation can cover your medical care and part of your lost wages if your claim is accepted, and another company on the site may also owe you compensation.
We help with:
- Workers’ compensation claims after a construction injury
- Claims against general contractors, subcontractors, equipment makers and property owners
- Coordinating both claims, including any repayment the workers’ comp insurer claims
