If you are injured on the job, or suffer a disease because of your work exposure over time, you may be required to file a workers' compensation claim with your employer. The Oregon Workers' Compensation Act, codified in Chapter 656 of the Oregon Revised Statutes, provides a system of benefits for injured workers. These benefits may include medical services, time loss (i.e., wage loss), permanent partial or permanent total disability, and vocational retraining. In many cases, claims are accepted and benefits processed. However, in also many instances, workers face difficulties or have their claims denied. If you were hurt on the job, have a denied claim, or if your employer didn't file a claim on your behalf, it is important to understand your rights; and we can help. Even where your claim has been accepted, we can usually help. There is never a cost to you in terms of attorney fees, as attorneys are paid only if one or more of the following events occur: a percentage of settlement, if you claim settles; prevailing against a wrongful denial; or obtaining an increase on an award of permanent partial disability. We have been representing Oregon injured workers since 1974. Our attorneys have over 100 years' collective experience in workers' compensation practice. We love what we do. Please contact us if we may help you.
