Questions
What should I do immediately after a workplace injury?
Report the injury to your employer, seek medical attention, and document all details. Contact our firm to ensure your workers' compensation claim is properly filed and defended against insurer denials.
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Oregon?
Oregon’s statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the injury date. Delaying could bar your case, so consult an attorney promptly to preserve evidence and meet deadlines.
Can I work while receiving Social Security Disability benefits?
SSD requires total disability preventing substantial gainful activity. Earning above a monthly threshold may disqualify you. Our team helps navigate work attempts and appeals if benefits are denied.
What constitutes a wrongful death claim in Oregon?
A wrongful death claim arises when negligence or intentional harm causes a fatality. Eligible survivors must prove fault and damages, such as lost income or companionship, through evidence like accident reports or expert testimony.
How are attorney fees handled in workers' compensation cases?
Oregon law mandates that fees are paid from recovered benefits, approved by the Workers’ Compensation Board. Our firm works on contingency, ensuring no upfront costs and aligning our success with your recovery.
What if my Social Security Disability claim was denied?
Appeal within 60 days of denial. Our firm assists with reconsideration, hearings, and appeals, focusing on strengthening medical evidence and addressing the initial decision’s flaws to improve approval chances.
