Astoria and Portland, Oregon, Workers' Compensation Lawyer
The worker's compensation system was initiated to ensure that injured workers readily receive payment for medical expenses and lost income resulting from on-the-job injuries. If you have been injured at work and were denied workers’ compensation benefits, the personal injury and workers' compensation law firm of Martin L. Alvey, P.C. can help you pursue fair payment for the financial loss resulting from your injury.

Attorney Martin Alvey has helped injured workers obtain workers' compensation benefits for over 20 years. If your claim has been denied, we can handle your appeal, prepare you for your workers' compensation hearing and present your case before a workers' compensation administrative law judge.
We represent workers across Oregon in our state's full range of industries, including construction, health care, sawmills, logging and paper mills, including Georgia Pacific’s Wauna Paper Mill near Clatskanie. We represent union and non-union workers and employees — anyone from office workers and nurses to plumbers, pipe fitters and industrial workers.
Workers' compensation benefits cover injuries ranging from "invisible," hard-to-detect injuries like a torn rotator cuff or lower back problems to more overt and serious injuries like dismemberment, crushed bones and paralysis. Benefits also cover hearing loss that often results from industrial noise. If you have difficulty hearing in restaurants and other places with ambient noise, or you have difficulty hearing sounds in specific ranges, like high-pitched voices, you may be eligible for compensation.
In addition to 20 years of experience, Mr. Alvey won the prestigious Douglas W. Daughtry Award of Merit from the Oregon State Bar Association in 2007. This award recognizes Mr. Alvey's high standards of professionalism and outstanding contributions to workers' compensation law and the hearings process.
