Workers' compensation law is complex, different in every state, and hard to find; and then difficult to understand when you do find it.

Relevant law comes from many places, including but not limited to Statutes, WAC's, Policies, and Court decisions. There is a lot more law out there which affects your situation, than we could ever include here.

The agencies that may be involved in the resolution of your workers' compensation case include: L&I, Self Insured employers, Board of Industrial Insurance of Appeals, Superior Court, Appellate Courts, and possibly others.

Portions of the workers' compensation law interact with state and federal laws especially regarding social security cases, personal injury claims, and employment discrimination.
