Workers' Compensation, Injury and Social Security Lawyer
Portland, Oregon — Astoria, Oregon — Serving the North Coast Since 1987
Attorney Martin L. Alvey, P.C. has helped injured workers from Oregon's north coast since 1987. We practice across a broad range of personal injury law, including:
- Workers' Compensation Law, including workers injured in construction, health care, sawmill, logging and paper mill accidents and at Georgia Pacific’s Wauna Paper Mill near Clatskanie.
- Denied Claims — Workers' Compensation Law. Oregon law mandates that your employer's workers' compensation insurance pay the attorney's fees for the overturning of denied claims. When fighting a denied claim, you pay no costs to your lawyer including out-of-pocket expenses if you prevail.
- Third-Party Claims. Third-party personal injury claims are an opportunity to obtain payment for pain and suffering after work accidents and are often filed in conjunction with workers' compensation claims.
- Dangerous Workplace Accident Injuries. Also called "Employers' Liability Law" (ELL) claims, ELL requires employers who operate potentially dangerous and ultra-hazardous work environments to use all possible means to protect employees. When employers commit ELL violations, they are liable for injuries and can be sued by employees, including employees receiving workers' compensation benefits.
- Auto Accident Injuries including car, pedestrian, truck, motorcycle, semi, tractor-trailer and 18-wheeler accidents.
- Serious Injuries including dog bites, slip/trip and fall accidents, and injuries in private and commercial property resulting from dangerous surfaces, inadequate lighting, and unsafe hallways, stairwells and stairways
- Social Security Disability Claims. Each year, thousands of valid Social Security claims are denied because the applications do not fully conform to the Social Security Administration's criteria. Attorney Alvey has successfully argued for the reversal of hundreds of denied Social Security claims since 1987.
- Supplemental Security Income. The Supplemental Security Income program offers people who have been unable to work, and therefore unable to contribute to Social Security, the opportunity to receive regular payments from the Social Security Administration.
