Workers’ Compensation is the practice of law to help those who have been injured on the job receive basic benefits and remedies. As a worker you are almost always entitled to these benefits regardless of your citizenship, being paid under the table or if your employer has failed to pay into the system. In exchange, you must always tell the truth, and cooperate with everyone involved in your claim.

However, your claim is constantly being monitored by a claims manager, decisions resulting in deadlines are being made. If these deadlines are not addressed in a timely manner, your benefits can be lost forever. Neither time nor the Department of Labor and Industries are on your side. Injured Washington workers are vastly underserved in Washington State. Too often we have to give the sad news of “You should have called us a lot sooner” to someone with no remedies available to them.

If you are a worker who was injured on the job you should call our Seattle, Tacoma, Everett and Bremerton Workers’ Compensation attorneys and see what rights are available to you under the Industrial Insurance Act. We are here to help you.
