On The Job Injuries Attorneys Roseburg

Have you been injured at your job? Has your health been severely compromised because of conditions where you work? Oregon’s Worker’s Compensation law is intended to protect employees when they are injured on the job. Worker’s Compensation insurance should cover all of your medical bills, as well as two-thirds of your salary until you are able to return to work, whenever that may be. Unfortunately, filing a “workers’ comp” claim can be extremely difficult to accomplish in Oregon. At Shlesinger & deVilleneuve, our skilled attorneys have years of experience in the field of worker’s compensation law; we successfully handled almost 1000 Worker’s Compensation claims last year alone!

IMPORTANT! Worker’s Compensation Insurance has very strict requirements in place, it is vital that you file your workers compensation claim as soon as possible; there are time limits for filing for on-the-job injury claims. In addition, If you are denied, you must file an appeal within 60 days, or lose your benefits entirely! The benefits you receive will depend on the nature of the injuries you have. The most common on-the-job injuries include:

Injuries to Upper body: (neck, back, arms, hands) often caused by overexertion – lifting, pushing, repetitive motion, hand pinching, gripping, vibration, etc.
Injuries to Lower Body: (hips, legs, knees, feet) often caused by overexertion, kneeling, squatting, repetitive motion, lifting, awkward posture, etc.
Head Injuries: (head, neck, eyes, ears) often caused by falls, eyesight injuries, hearing loss, etc.

Illnesses From Substances, Toxins and/or Chemicals: often caused by coal, asbestos, PCB’s, pesticides, chemical cleaners, etc.
Falls: slips, trips, and falls on flat surface, or falls from ladders, roofs or other elevated areas
Machinery & Moving Vehicles: caused when part of the body is caught in/under/between pieces of machinery, and/or work-related auto/truck accidents, accidents while operating lifting machinery, cherry-pickers, etc.
