Common Workplace Injuries in Portland & Clackamas

Whether you work in a dangerous field like construction or sit at a desk typing all day, your workplace could be rife with safety hazards. While the scale of these hazards can range, everyone deserves to be safe and comfortable in their workplace. This is why the state of Oregon requires employers to carry valid workers’ compensation insurance, and cover most on-the-job injuries.

Some of the most common on-the-job injuries we’ve seen include:

• Slip and falls
• Back injuries
• Accidents with work vehicles or in parking lots
• Toxic chemical exposure
• Falling objects
• Loud noise exposure
• Muscle strain and overexertion
• Repetitive motion injuries
• Assault

Let Us Negotiate with Insurers For You

Of course, even when your injuries should be fully covered, your employer and their workers’ compensation insurance provider may attempt to deny your claim. In fact, most claims are denied the first time around, usually because the claimant did not follow all the rules and procedures required.

When you’ve sustained a workplace injury, it’s important to review your case with a qualified attorney. Because we can negotiate with difficult insurers and present a unified front to your employer, it may be easier to secure your benefits without the stress and hassle of filing on your own. Our Clackamas workers’ comp team can help you quickly gather documentation, file the appropriate forms, and even take the claim to trial if it becomes necessary.
