If you've been injured on the job, your injury is probably covered by Worker's Compensation. If you've been injured in any other circumstance by the action or negligence of others, call
the Oregon injury lawyers at Peterson Law Offices in Portland, Oregon. Before you speak with anyone, make sure you have good representation on your side. We have the lawyers and experience to give you the edge you need.
Often, in the case of injuries, one of the insurance companies will contact you hoping to give you a quick cash settlement. While this may sound great, it actually releases the insurance company from any further responsibility. This could have a highly detrimental effect on you as time goes by.
For instance, if you've suffered a head injury as the result of a fall on a company's property, their insurance company may try to pay you a certain sum quickly so that you walk away and don't bother them again. However, say that head injury leads to more than the initial headaches. What if those headaches never go away? What if you realize that your memory is not working as well as it usually does? By accepting the settlement, you will have forfeited your rights to be properly compensated by the party at fault.
When you work with
the Oregon injury lawyers at Peterson Law Offices, we don't get paid unless you receive a settlement. The onus is on us as lawyers to represent you well and to work hard to get you the compensation you deserve. Time is of the essence, however, in injury cases. Documentation needs to start immediately. Call us today at 503-280-0888 to learn more.
