Construction Injury cases in Gresham
Construction crews build Gresham year-round — homes, campuses, and infrastructure across Multnomah County, often on rain-slick scaffolds and muddy sites. Falls from height, trench collapses, electrocutions, and struck-by incidents make construction one of Oregon's most dangerous trades.
A Gresham construction injury usually means a comp claim — and when another subcontractor, a driver, or an equipment maker caused the harm, a third-party lawsuit can apply on top of it, with Oregon's Employer Liability Law adding duties on dangerous work. A participating Oregon law firm may review every path.

Gresham cases: the evidence that decides work injury claims
- Your own copy of the written injury report — the notice you gave your employer, with its date.
- Medical records from the first visit onward — the earliest record ties the injury to the job.
- Coworker witnesses — names and numbers, before shifts change and people move on.
- Photos of the hazard or equipment — taken before it gets fixed, replaced, or cleaned up.
- Wage records — benefit rates are calculated from earnings, so pay stubs matter.
- A restrictions log — missed days, light-duty limits, and what the injury stops you from doing.
How a participating law firm may review your situation
After you submit a free case review, your request is delivered to a participating Oregon law firm — participating firms are paid advertisers, and each firm independently determines whether it can assist you. The firm may contact you to learn more and explain how Oregon claims generally work. There is no cost to request a review, and submitting the form does not create an attorney-client relationship.
What information to prepare
- The date and location of what happened
- Any report or exchange of information, if you have it
- Photos of the scene, vehicles or equipment, and any injuries
- Names and contact info for any witnesses
- Records of medical treatment you have received
- Insurance or employer information, as applicable
Why quick action matters in Oregon
Oregon requires notice of a work injury to your employer within 90 days, and the claim itself is filed on Form 801 — and if a claim is denied, the window to request a Workers' Compensation Board hearing is strict. Acting quickly protects your claim and your benefits. This is general information, not legal advice; a participating law firm can explain the deadlines that apply to you.

Gresham Construction Injury FAQ
Common questions
Is this a law firm?
No. OR Legal Help is a legal advertising website. It is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Your inquiry may be shared with a participating Oregon law firm for review.
I was paid 1099 as a 'contractor' — am I out of luck?
Not necessarily. Misclassification is common in construction, and your real status depends on how the work actually ran — not the label. A participating law firm can review your arrangement and explain what claims may apply.
How much is a construction injury claim worth in Gresham?
It depends on your injury, medical treatment, wages, and any permanent impairment findings. A participating Oregon law firm can review your Gresham claim and explain what benefits may apply. No outcome is guaranteed.
Will my Gresham work injury claim end in a settlement?
Many Oregon comp disputes resolve by agreement — such as a disputed claim settlement or a claim disposition agreement — while accepted claims pay benefits over time. Settling can close important rights, and approvals are required. A participating law firm can explain the trade-offs before you sign anything.
Can I sue my employer for a work injury in Gresham?
Usually not — Oregon comp is generally the exclusive remedy against your employer, with narrow exceptions. But third-party claims exist, and Oregon's Employer Liability Law can reach companies beyond your direct employer on inherently dangerous work. A participating Oregon law firm can review which applies to your Gresham injury.
How do I find a construction injury lawyer near me in Gresham?
OR Legal Help is not a law firm, but you can request a free case review online and a participating Oregon law firm serving Gresham may review your situation — often the fastest way to find out where you stand.

What does a case review cost?
