Worker's Compensation Claims

Today’s workplaces are safer than they’ve ever been, due to advances in technology and awareness of workplace safety. Even so, hundreds of thousands of people are injured on the job every year. In Washington for the most part, workplace injuries are handled by the State’s Department of Labor & Industries. Some larger companies self-insure, meaning they choose not to participate in the State’s worker’s compensation system.

Though relatively simple to initiate, worker’s compensation claims can become complex matters to administer. Labor & Industries often cut worker’s off before they have completely healed from the injuries or refuses to pay for necessary treatment. Having an attorney represent you during your Worker’s Compensation claim can ensure you receive the proper treatment and that the claim is closed when you are ready.
