Is anyone familiar with Tribal WC Rules and Laws in Oregon and how they work??? I have been looking for legal representation finally found atty in Salem and he has informed me he is no longer doing tribal law with no referral. Everyone I have talk to only does tribal gov. work for tribes. Nothing for employees of tribal corporations injured at work. They are insured and are pay medical what I want is help with is time lost and legal advise regarding settlement. I have spoken to WC Attys and as soon as I mention the words "tribal casino" they say "I can't help you, you need a Tribal Law Atty".

Each tribe is an independent nation.
There is no one set of work injury rules.
You may have to get a copy of their work injury benefit plan from the tribal council.
It's possible they may have filed it with the state.

start with the gaming commission

and then maybe the department of insurance.
their insurance carrier might also be a resource or as in my prior post check with the tribal council.
