A motor vehicle collision on Highway 97, an industrial accident near Eagle Crest, or even a sudden medical condition at St. Charles Redmond can completely disrupt your life. When the unexpected happens, you need a trusted local team that understands your community and knows how to fight for justice.
Shlesinger & deVilleneuve represent people from Central Oregon on what are usually some of the most challenging days of their lives. While dealing with pain, suffering, or monetary loss, our team of lawyers and support staff works with you – by your side, fighting to restore your well-being, stability, and peace of mind.
In most Oregon cases, you have two years from the date of the injury to bring a claim in the form of a personal injury lawsuit. However, exceptions are sure such as when claims are against a government agency, cases involving minors, etc. It is best to talk to a Redmond injury lawyer as soon as possible to retain evidence and meet all deadlines.
Report the injury to your employer as soon as possible, preferably in writing. Tell your doctor you had an injury at work. They will file Form 827 with the insurer. Then call a Redmond workers’ compensation attorney to make sure that your claim will be well handled without any deadline lapsing.
This may include medical coverage, wage-loss (time-loss) benefits, permanent disability payments, and vocational rehabilitation if you are unable to return to your former job. Workers’ comp should cover your medical bills for injuries that have been accepted — including care at clinics such as St. Charles Redmond or other approved providers.
If you have a medically documented condition that disables you from working for at least 12 months, then you may qualify. You also need to consider whether you have earned enough work credits through prior employment. The lawyers can go through your medical records and determine if you fulfill the conditions of the Social Security Administration.
Most first-time SSDI claims are denied due to incomplete paperwork, insufficient medical documentation, or errors in the application. Don’t be discouraged; denials are a common occurrence. Our Redmond team assists clients in appealing decisions, gathering stronger medical evidence, and enhancing their chances of approval.
