On the job injuries attorneys Coos Bay

Oregon Worker’s Compensation law is meant to provide protection to employees when they’re hurt or injured on the job. If you are dealing with the stress of an on the job injury that has impaired your ability to continue working, your worker’s compensation benefits might cover your medical expenses, along with up to two-thirds of your lost income, until the time that you are well enough to return to work.

Unfortunately, the process of filing for and receiving benefits can be extremely lengthy and complicated. The state of Oregon has some of the strictest time restrictions and process obstacles of any other state. If you are hurt on the job or suspect that there is something in your workplace that is having an ill effect on your health and wellness, it is essential that you enlist the help of an experienced worker’s compensation attorney to help you file a claim for your benefits. Some of the more common workplace injuries include:

Upper body injuries: Arms, back, neck – often caused by overexertion
Lower body injuries: Legs, hips, feet, knees – often caused by overexertion
Head injuries: Neck, ears, head, eyes – typically as a result of falls, or accidents involving the face

Ailments caused by exposure to chemicals – can be caused by exposure to asbestos, herbicides, coal, cleansers
Slips/Falls – falls from ladders or roof, or from flat surfaces
Equipment & Moving vehicles: brought on anytime an element of the human body is caught within pieces of equipment or struck by work-related vehicles
