George J. Wall, attorney at law, has been assisting injured workers and Social Security claimants in Oregon and SW Washington since 1996.
- I focus my practice on helping injured workers and people seeking Social Security disability benefits.
- There is no charge for your initial consultation.
- You will never pay an attorney fee unless I am successful in obtaining benefits for you.
- If you are confused or uncertain about your legal matter, or feeling pressured by anyone involved in your case, you may benefit from speaking with an experienced attorney who specializes in your area of concern.
Whether you were just injured on the job, or are suffering from a lifetime of accumulated work-related injury, navigating the complexities of the Oregon workers' compensation system can be daunting.
All too frequently, claims are denied or prematurely closed, or
benefits are discontinued. These issues usually have a strict time limit
to appeal -- if your claim has been denied, closed, or benefits
discontinued, you should seek legal advice as soon as possible so that
you do not lose any potential benefits. These are issues where an
experienced workers' compensation attorney can assist in making sure you
obtain the benefits you are entitled to.
Shipyard workers are frequently covered under the U.S.
Longshore and
Harbor Workers Act, before the U.S. Dept. of Labor's Office of Workers
Compensation Claims. This is a specialized (administrative law) area,
and an attorney specializing in this area can greatly benefit an injured
worker in obtaining the benefits they have earned through their
employment.
Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
Often, the process of obtaining benefits under either SSD or SSI is confusing, with conflicting instructions, unclear deadlines, and a seemingly never-ending process that often results in the denial of benefits to clearly disabled individuals. An experienced social security disability attorney can reduce the stress involved in obtaining benefits.
