You expect your equipment to function as intended without fear of anything catastrophic. Unfortunately, workers in Oregon get injured on the job every day. You may feel shocked and unsure what to do when you get hurt. It is essential to know your rights when injured at work.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>File Workers\u2019 Compensation<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>You must file workers\u2019 compensation at your earliest opportunity. Your employer legally cannot refuse to let you file this claim, and you have 90 days to file the claim. If your claim is denied, you will have 60 days to appeal the decision. This process is known for being cryptic and highly detailed, which is why a lawyer well-versed in Oregon worker\u2019s compensation laws can help.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Gather All Relevant Documents<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Any documentation you have related to your incident should be submitted along with your claim. Any medical records, x-rays, and witness testimonies can be included, as these will help strengthen your case and garner you the compensation you deserve.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Hire Legal Representation<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Having an attorney from day one ensures all timelines are met, evidence is secured, and appropriate rules are followed. If you attempt to defend yourself, you may overlook certain details that could benefit your case. An experienced lawyer would know precisely how to defend you, as they are responsible for evaluating your entire situation and creating a strong case. You may believe it is more cost-efficient to pursue the claim yourself, but you need to be prepared to deal with a very astute and contentious adversary. Worker compensation carriers are not in the business of paying on claims. They fight. But so do we.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Speak With Us Immediately<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Shlesinger &amp; de Villeneuve Attorneys, P.C. has helped many individuals secure workers\u2019 compensation after sustaining an injury on the job.
