Can I Sue for a Workplace Injury in Oregon?

Construction sites can be dangerous places to work at or visit.

If you have been harmed in a construction accident in Oregon, the first step is always to seek proper medical attention.

Laws Regarding Construction Accidents in Eugene Oregon

There are 2 basic types of construction accidents in Eugene.

The first category of construction accidents are those in which persons not employed at the construction site are injured. Usually, these are visitors, or people who simply happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. These can normally be handled through a standard personal injury lawsuit.

The second category of Construction Accidents encompasses all accidents sustained by employees on the construction site. Most of the time, these workers are compensated through workman's compensation. In particular situations, however, like when a co-employee is the cause of the accident, the injured party may be able to recover a larger amount.

Life in Eugene

Eugene, Oregon is the second-largest city in the state of Oregon. It is also the seat of Lane County, in the south end of the Willamette Valley. Its population is about 157,000 people.

Eugene, Oregon is named after its founder, Eugene Franklin Skinner, who started the first recorded permanent settlement in the area. The first major educational institution in the area was Columbia College, which was founded a few years before the University of Oregon (still Oregon's flagship public university).

Modernly, Eugene is known as a progressive, and somewhat quirky, community with a streak of political radicalism thrown in for good measure. A small but highly-visible community of anarchists established itself in Eugene in the 1990s, and is still present there today. While they are not generally criminally-inclined, some of their protests have led to arrests. Many activist attorneys in Eugene, Oregon have taken it upon themselves to represent clients with radical political views, sometimes on a pro bono or reduced fee basis.

Of course, most Eugene, Oregon lawyers have more "standard" careers, and represent average citizens and small businesses, helping them with the legal issues that they're most likely to face. If you live in or around Eugene, Oregon, and have a legal issue that needs immediate attention, you should not hesitate to contact an Eugene, Oregon attorney as soon as possible.
