Greetings everyone As you all know Workers compensation and politics go hand in hand in Oregon just look at the destruction these two issues have caused honest and hard working Oregonians in the last ten years. There are alot of issues surrounding Workers compensation in Oregon this year, with the upcoming Terry Smothers ruling. The fight over Measure 81 and the Major contributing cause study due out this fall with all of these issues surrounding us it is easy to forget why this message forum was created in the first place, To inform educate and help other injured workers in Oregon understand what lies ahead of them should they suffer a serious on the job injury, I would like all contributers to post revelant information about Workers compensation issues and news and not get caught up in the issues of politics. Although we appreciate everyone's contributions to this forum I don't want to see it get away from the real issue Workers compensation. |

Posted At 15:19:38 04/28/2000 I am speaking on behalf on myself since Workplace Injured and Injured Workers' Alliance, as organizations, DO NOT recommend any specific attorneys. I have heard good things about Doug Swanson, out of Portland. He sponsors a U.S West yellow pages info line which is duplicated in the WI Web site Legal Links page here. You may also want to use the Main WI Search engine (in the main page navigation link section) or the "1st WI Message Board" search engine and type keywords such as "Attorney", "Lawyer", etc. There have many things written about how best to choose an attorney, etc. Take care, Del |
