Workplace Injuries

Washington State Labor and Industry Claim Attorney Workplace Injury Lawyer

An injury in the workplace can be devastating to you physically and financially. How do you support yourself and provide for your family when you are physically unable to work?

For in-depth information on filing for Workers' Compensation, please visit our Workers' Compensation site.

We can help in a variety of ways.

Workers' Comp Benefits

Our workers' compensation attorneys can help you file a claim with the Washington State Department of Labor and Industry (L&I) or your self-insured employer. to help you get compensation for your medical treatment, lost work time, and vocational rehabilitation. Workers' Comp law is complex and confusing. A simple error or omission on a form can cause your application to be denied, leaving you injured, unable to work, and unable to pay your mortgage or rent and medical bills.

We have nearly 20 years of experience helping injured workers receive workers' comp benefits. We can help you through the process quickly and efficiently. Contact our workers' compensation attorneys for a free consultation if you have suffered any type of workplace injury, from back strain to carpal tunnel syndrome to an occupational disease caused by exposure to hazardous materials, like asbestos.

Third Party Personal Injury Claim

If your workplace injury was caused by the negligence of another person or organization, we may be able to file a personal injury claim to recover financial compensation for your injury, lost work time, medical bills, and pain and suffering. (L&I benefits do not cover pain and suffering.)

If you were driving a vehicle as part of your job duties and were involved in a car accident, we may be able to file an injury claim against the other driver. If your workplace injury was caused by defective machinery, we would file a products liability claim against the manufacturer of the machine.

Construction Site Accidents

If you were injured while working on a construction site, we may be able to recover compensation from the general contractor, the landowner, the manufacturer of defective construction equipment, or the professionals who designed the project. We will determine whether the job site was in violation of OSHA and other job safety regulations. Construction site injuries can be caused by:

• Falls from scaffolding
• Being hit by falling scaffolding
• Repetitive stress
• Electrocution
• Moving, falling, or defective machinery
• Exposure to hazardous chemicals or materials, such as asbestos
• Failure to meet job safety standards
