SAIF Corporation (State Accident Insurance Fund) — Legal / Subpoena Desk — Salem, OR

Serving Records Subpoenas at SAIF Corporation (400 High Street SE, Salem)

Established by the Oregon Legislature under ORS 656.751, SAIF Corporation (State Accident Insurance Fund) insures more than half of all Oregon employers for workers’ compensation coverage. Whenever an injured worker or motorist brings a third-party personal injury, product liability, or construction site negligence lawsuit in an Oregon Circuit Court, both plaintiff and defense counsel routinely subpoena SAIF Corporation for complete prior and concurrent workers’ compensation claim files, Form 801 and Form 827 medical reports, Independent Medical Examination (IME) evaluations, time-loss payment histories, and statutory lien calculations.

SAIF Corporation’s central legal and subpoena intake desk is located at its state headquarters at 400 High Street SE, Salem, OR 97312 in Marion County. Our Salem process servers deliver ORCP 55 subpoenas duces tecum, Workers’ Compensation Board (WCB) subpoenas, and legal notices directly to the authorized SAIF intake desk during regular weekday hours.

ORCP 55 D Pre-Service Notice & 14-Day Compliance Rules for SAIF Claim Files

Because workers’ compensation claim files held by SAIF Corporation contain extensive medical charts and Individually Identifiable Health Information (IIHI), serving a Circuit Court subpoena duces tecum on SAIF triggers the mandatory pre-service notice rules of ORCP 55 D(1).

Unless you attach a signed patient release authorization, the issuing attorney must serve a copy of the proposed subpoena on all other parties to the litigation at least 14 days before the subpoena is served on SAIF at 400 High Street SE, and attach the required ORCP 55 D(1) certificate confirming that no timely objection was made. Additionally, ORCP 55 D(2) requires granting SAIF at least 14 days from the date of service to produce the records.

Serving Lawsuits or Third-Party Election Notices on SAIF

As an independent public corporation created under ORS 656.751, SAIF Corporation is also served with statutory third-party election notices and lien resolution pleadings under ORS 656.576 to 656.596, as well as civil summonses under ORCP 7 D(3).
