Oregon Work-Related Injury Claims Lawyers
Workers' compensation laws are complex. The regulations govern a process that is rife with bureaucracy resulting in valid claims being denied. At Martin L. Alvey, P.C., we combine experience with legal knowledge. Add to that our industry recognition and legislative efforts to protect the rights of an injured worker.
A workers' compensation claim is beyond the filling out of a form and collection of a check. for help with a complicated process, contact our Portland or Astoria office at 503-928-3848 or toll free at 866-509-3516.
What Workers' Compensation Provides You
Workers' comp benefits encompass medical services, temporary disability compensation (time loss), permanent disability compensation and vocational rehabilitation. Strict time limits must be adhered to as they dictate the process. If you receive a denial letter or notice of closure, you have 60 days to reply.
Your Rights to an Appeal of a Denied Workers' Compensation Claim
Why jeopardize your right to compensation by not responding to a notice within the legal time limit? Contact workers' compensation attorney Martin L. Alvey. He will appeal your denied claim through the following:
- Working with your physician who will ultimately determine the amount of time you need off from work and determine whether you are disabled and to what extent.
- Preparing your appeal with a thorough investigation that helps prove the cause and extent of your injuries or disability.
- Attending your hearings and advocating for your rights.
No Out-of-Pocket Expenses if a Denial is Overturned
At Martin L. Alvey, P.C., we have successfully overturned denials of workers' comp, third-party and occupational disease claims and received attorney fees and other out-of-pocket expenses. That Oregon law requiring insurance companies to cover legal and other costs was at least partially the result of Mr. Alvey's lobbying for that important bill in the state legislature.
