In Oregon, most employees are covered by worker\u2019s compensation insurance<\/a>, except for federal employees and certain maritime workers. This system is designed to provide benefits to workers who suffer injuries or illnesses due to their job. While every worker has the right to file a claim, the process can be complex and difficult to navigate, especially if you\u2019re recovering from an injury. Having a knowledgeable lawyer by your side can be invaluable in ensuring your claim is handled efficiently and effectively.<\/span><\/p>\n

If your employer attempts to pressure you into denying that your injury occurred at work, they are acting illegally. In such cases, it\u2019s crucial to seek help from an attorney or state labor authorities.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Does Worker\u2019s Compensation Cover?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Worker\u2019s compensation insurance provides coverage for both medical expenses and lost wages.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If your injury results in permanent disability, preventing you from returning to your previous job, you may be eligible for additional benefits to help cover the costs of retraining for a new career. Additionally, if a worker is fatally injured on the job, worker\u2019s compensation benefits<\/a> are provided to their surviving spouse and\/or children.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to File a Worker\u2019s Compensation Claim in Oregon<\/b><\/h2>\n

To begin the process of filing a worker\u2019s compensation claim in Oregon, you must first notify your employer about your injury. Once informed, you must fill out an 801 form that you can get from your employer-at-injury.\u00a0The employer is then required to submit that form to their insurance carrier within five days.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why Hiring a Lawyer is Important<\/b><\/h2>\n

Notifying your employer about a work-related injury can be daunting, especially if you\u2019re concerned about how they might respond or if they may mishandle your claim. A skilled attorney can help protect your rights, ensuring that your claim is filed correctly and that you receive the benefits you\u2019re entitled to.<\/span><\/p>\n

An experienced lawyer can also provide crucial support in dealing with your employer, their insurance company, and the state throughout the claim process. If you need to file a worker\u2019s compensation claim, consider reaching out to Shlesinger & deVilleneuve<\/a> for a consultation to safeguard your rights and secure the compensation you deserve.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
