Claim Denied

If your workers’ compensation claim has been denied, DO NOT GIVE UP. Contact me right away at 503 620.3171 or at slgabin@pacifier.com for a free in-person consultation. After listening to your situation, I will tell you whether you have a valid claim to pursue and I will help you understand all of your options and how best to proceed. I have years of experience helping injured Oregon workers win their claims. I will not stop working for you until after I have gone as far as I can to get you the result you deserve.

If your claim has been denied, you have 60 days from the mailing date of the denial notice to appeal the denial. Good claims have been lost just because an injured worker waited too longer to appeal. Do not let this happen to you. Get legal advice as soon as you receive a notice denying your workers’ compensation claim.

Hearings

If you hire me, I will request a hearing, order all records, and, typically, will speak with your treating doctor about the cause of injury, for these cases typically turn on the strength of treating doctor opinion as to the cause of your current disabling condition.

These cases are always challenging, even when the evidence is good. So preparing early and diligently is the best strategy.

Fees

Attorney fees in Oregon Workers’ Compensation claims are strictly contingent. That means I receive a fee ONLY if you receive benefits. That means you do not owe me a fee UNLESS you receive benefits. If I am successful overturning a denied claim, the employer/workers’ compensation insurer will pay my fee according to the amount set by an Administrative Law Judge.
