If you've sustained an injury at work or developed a health issue due to prolonged exposure in your job, it's crucial to know that you may need to submit a workers' compensation claim through your employer. The Oregon Workers' Compensation Act, outlined in Chapter 656 of the Oregon Revised Statutes, establishes essential benefits for those injured on the job. These can encompass medical care, wage loss reimbursement during recovery (also referred to as time loss), permanent partial or total disability support, and vocational rehabilitation opportunities. While many claims are approved smoothly and benefits dispensed accordingly, numerous workers encounter challenges or face denials of their claims. If you’ve been hurt while working, had your claim unjustly denied, or if there was no claim filed by your employer on your behalf—understanding your rights is vital; we are here to assist you with that process too. Even if you've received initial approval for benefits but seek further assistance—we're ready and equipped to help out where needed! Our services come at no upfront cost; attorney fees only apply when certain conditions are met: achieving a settlement percentage upon resolution of claims; winning against wrongful denials; or securing increased awards for permanent partial disabilities. Since 1974 we've fought diligently on behalf of injured workers across Oregon with our collective experience exceeding 100 years in this field—it’s our passion! Reach out today if you'd like us by your side during this challenging time.
