Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Oregon

If another employee files a false claim about me ( her supervisor) and I have a pending Labor investigation against the employer for a different situation, however they demote me based on her aligations. Can a file a small claim against the co-worker for Slander-punitive damages?
