Client Reviews & Testimonials

"I was referred to Gary Norris by a friend and I’m so blessed I was. I was attacked by a dog and went to have a consultation with Gary. He clearly explained my options, stated procedures, costs and charges to pursue my case with the insurance company. Had I not hired Gary Norris as my attorney I would have been railroaded by the insurance company. Gary watched out for my interest, explained every step to me and handled everything with professionalism. My trust in Gary’s ability to handle my case was like I was hiring family. I would highly recommend Gary Norris"

Fall Injuries

Gary G. Norris August 6, 2022

If you have slipped, tripped or fallen at a business or residence it is extremely important that the conditions that caused your fall be documented immediately. Many stores have video surveillance that might have recorded your injury. However, that video will likely be destroyed after a short time. The Law Office of Gary G. Norris is very familiar with the law relating to slip-and-falls in Oregon, and the building code requirements that set the safety standards for businesses and retail establishments.

Those injured on the job by someone else’s fault may be able to recover damages in addition to worker’s compensation benefits.

Gary G. Norris March 8, 2022

If you are injured on the job by the fault of another person who is not a fellow employee, you may have an independent legal claim for your injuries against that at-fault person, in addition to your worker’s compensation. This is called a “Third-Party Claim.” For example, if you are on the job driving a company vehicle, and are involved in an accident caused by the other driver’s fault, you can make a personal injury claim against the at-fault driver and his/her insurance company, in addition to whatever worker’s compensation benefits are paid to you. You must file an “election” with the employer’s workers compensation carrier to pursue that third-party claim yourself. There are time limitations that apply to when you must file that election. The worker’s compensation carrier has a right to be reimbursed its benefit payments out of the recovery in the third-party claim. However, settlements of “third-party” claims most often result in additional recovery for the injured person, above and beyond the amount of worker’s compensation benefits.
