Gresham/Clackamas Workers' Compensation Lawyers

• Has a work-related accident at Mt. Hood Community College left you unable to work?
• Did you strain your back while manufacturing window parts and a door frame?
• Has your prior medical condition become aggravated while working at the Legacy Mount Hood Medical Center?

If you have endured a work-related injury, obtain experienced legal help. The federal workers' compensation system makes it clear that employers are obligated to cover on-the-job injuries. Yet, employers and their workers' compensation insurance carriers are known to push back against legitimate work injury claims.

Pursuing Benefits to Cover Your Lost Wages and Medical Care

Workers' compensation benefits are designed to cover your lost wages while your work-related injury prevents you from working. Your employer is also responsible to pick up the tab for any medical treatment related to the accident at work. Our legal team will help you maximize your recovery for any medical-related expenses, including:

• Emergency room bills
• Ongoing treatment
• Surgical expenses
• Physical therapy or chiropractic care

If your work-related injury has limited your ability to continue working in the plant, at the medical center or in another capacity, we will help protect your rights. Our legal team is prepared to hold your employer accountable to provide vocational retraining up to 18 months. This would include an evaluation by a vocational expert to determine the level of work you can perform and biweekly disability payments while you are in the program.

Unlike a personal injury claim, workers' compensation benefits do not cover additional damages for pain and suffering or a diminished quality of life. Our law firm is committed to helping injured workers maximize their level of recovery. When you enlist our law firm, we are available to determine if another party beyond your employer can be held liable. We will not hesitate to pursue additional compensation through a personal injury claim against a vendor, subcontractor or another third party that possibly caused your work-related accident.
