On-the-Job Injury and Third-Party Claims Attorney
Portland, Oregon — Astoria, Oregon
Workers' compensation benefits involve a trade-off. In exchange for the comparatively easy access to income and medical expense payments that workers' compensation provides, workers are barred from suing their employers.
In many instances, however, injured employees have another option to pursue the compensation they deserve for their injuries. Often, a third party is liable for injuries and does not enjoy the legal protection of workers' compensation. Third-party personal injury claims are an additional opportunity to get compensation for pain and suffering, diminished earning ability and reduced income.
If you have been injured at work, the personal injury law firm of Martin L. Alvey, P.C. can help. We have handled injury claims, including third-party liability claims and workers' compensation claims for over 20 years.

Have you been hurt at a construction site or other work location? Has scaffolding, a ladder or a falling object injured you? Are you out of work with a disability or in pain due to an unsafe work environment or an on-the-job car crash? Did an OSHA, building code or architectural code violation cause your injury?
Lawyer Martin Alvey can explain your legal options, identify liable parties and sue for maximum compensation. Third-party claims often involve contractors and subcontractors on private property. For instance, if you trip over an object on the job, you cannot sue your employer, but may be entitled to sue the owner of the property or the contractor who negligently placed the object.
