You can still have a claim.\u00a0 If your employer does not\u00a0carry workers\u2019 compensation<\/strong>
\ninsurance they may be considered a\u00a0\u201cnon-complying\u201d\u00a0employer and you may have access to funds to help you with your injury. \u00a0\u201cNon-complying\u201d means that the employer is not following the legal requirement set out for every employer in Oregon to provide their employees workers\u2019 compensation coverage.\u00a0\u00a0Every employer must
\npurchase workers\u2019 compensation insurance in Oregon, the law is simple and clear on this requirement. However, not every worker is considered a\u00a0\u201csubject worker\u201d.\u00a0 This means that not every job, employment or position requires the employer to purchase workers\u2019 compensation insurance under Oregon laws.\u00a0 Newspaper carriers, landscape maintenance workers and house cleaners are examples of workers who\u00a0may not be considered subject workers.\u00a0(All of these may still be covered if they are employed with a company rather than working each job under separate contract).\u00a0 Where the employment is casual or of a very limited duration the employee might not be considered a \u201csubject worker\u201d.\u00a0 Determining the status of the employee in this environment is not always obvious and often will require analysis of circumstances.\u00a0 You will only know for sure if you are a subject employee by consulting with an attorney familiar with Oregon Workers\u2019 Compensation laws.<\/p>\n

When you file your claim\u00a0it will\u00a0set in motion\u00a0a series of events.\u00a0 The primary act will be an investigation\u00a0by the Workers\u2019 Compensation Division.\u00a0 The Division will ultimately decide if your employer is a non-complying employer and whether you are a subject worker.\u00a0 It is important to note the Division\u2019s decision is\u00a0not final, it can be appealed to the Workers\u2019 Compensation Board for a ruling from a judge.<\/p>\n

If after its investigation is concluded and\u00a0the workers’ compensation\u00a0division decides that your claim must be covered then you will be compensated.\u00a0 The claim will be paid out of the\u00a0Workers\u2019 Benefit Fund\u00a0and administered on behalf of the State by a company called Sedgwick.\u00a0 Keep in mind that most Oregonians have personally paid into the Workers\u2019 Benefit Fund with each paycheck earned in Oregon.<\/p>\n

The Workers\u2019 Compensation Division\u00a0wields powerful tools\u00a0to protect the Workers\u2019 Benefit Fund.\u00a0 If your claim is paid out of the fund they will attempt to recover all of the money from the employer.\u00a0 This is not a freebie for the Employer.\u00a0The non-complying employer doesn\u2019t gain\u00a0immunity from personal injury lawsuits\u00a0for their negligent actions.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the non-complying employer loses traditional defenses to a lawsuit for negligence such as the defense that the injured workers\u2019 negligence contributed to the accident.\u00a0\u00a0Oregon law establishes serious consequences for employers who do not protect their employees by purchasing Workers\u2019 Comp insurance.<\/p>\n
