- Workers CompensationTypical on the job injuries are caused from another person’s negligence or misconduct. If you’ve been involved in an on the job injury in Portland Oregon, than contact us immediately because you may be able to file a claim for workers compensation benefits. A third party lawsuit may also be filed from individuals other than the employers. A third party on the job injury claim is not the same as filing a claim thorough your employer’s insurance. It’s important to determine who is to blame for your accident.
- Personal InjuryOne of the larger problems has been a complete lack of regulation of all of the gig economic activities. In Oregon, the governor just signed HB 2393 into law so that drivers (and more importantly their cars) will have PIP benefits. What that means is if there is a motor vehicle accident involving an Uber or Lyft car and their passenger is injured there will be personal injury protection which will pay a certain amount of medical costs and will pay wage loss. Both the driver and any passengers will be covered.
- Social Security DisabilityTwo types of Social Security disability benefits are available to disabled Americans: Social Security Disability insurance benefits and Supplemental Security Income.
