Your L&I Claim Has Benefits. Learn About L&I Benefits Here.

This website is a guide to L&I Benefits in the Washington State Workers’ Compensation system. Nobody teaches classes on how to survive the effects of a serious job injury in a complex workers’ compensation system. You need to learn these things, and you need to learn them now.  This website will help.

  1. Medical Care

    You may choose your doctor from the medical provider network and have the medical bills related to your job injury or occupational disease paid for, so long as the treatment you receive is found to be necessary and proper. See Medical Care for more information.

  2. L&I Time Loss Compensation Benefit

    Off work with no money coming in? You may receive L&I time loss money every two weeks while you are certified by your doctor as unable to work. This is a partial wage replacement. Learn how to start and keep L&I time loss. See How Do I Get a Fair Time Loss Rate?

  3. L&I Permanent Partial Disability Settlement (PPD)

    Injured workers have a right to receive a permanent partial disability (PPD) settlement from L&I. The settlement money is for impairment existing at claim closure. Information about workers’ compensation money and settlement amounts can be found here:  How to Get a Fair Permanent Partial Disability (PPD) Settlement.

  4. L&I Vocational Training

    Limited vocational assistance may be available if your injury continues to totally restrict your ability to work. Job training is a discretionary Washington workers’ compensation benefit. See L&I Vocational Training.

  5. L&I Pension Payments

    If you can prove that your injury is so serious that you cannot return to gainful employment, you may be eligible to receive pension payments for life. It doesn’t matter that your employer does not have a pension plan. This is an L&I injury pension, and you may qualify if you cannot return to work. See L&I Pension for detailed information.

  6. L&I Death Benefits

    Pension – If you were to die from a job-related injury or occupational disease, your surviving spouse and dependent children have a right to receive a monthly pension. See L&I Pension.
    Death on the Job – Overcome the effects of a tragic death and get L&I death benefits. See: Death on the Job – L&I Fatality Washington State
    Suicide – L&I looks unfavorably on job-related premeditated suicide. Learn what you can do to help yourself in this time of need. See: L&I and Suicide

  7. L&I Travel Reimbursement

    If pre-authorized, reimbursement for travel mileage, parking, tolls, food, lodging, and lost wages will be paid in connection with medical treatment, vocational training, and IME attendance. Travel Reimbursement Form

  8. L&I Loss of Earning Power Benefits (LEP)

    While your claim is open, if you perform part-time or light-duty work for less pay than you made at the job you were injured on, it may be to your advantage to collect LEP benefits. These are money benefits that, in part, make up the difference between the pay rates of your current and previous jobs. More Information on LEP.

  9. Your Right to File an L&I Claim.

    You have a right to file an L&I claim for a job injury or occupational disease. Opening an L&I claim starts with a visit to your doctor, where you will file your claim. Review our L&I Claims- A Beginners’ Complete Guide

  10. Claim Suppression is Against the Law

    You have a right to file an L&I claim if you have suffered a job injury or incurred an occupational disease. Some employers will violate your rights and use HR, safety manager, and co-worker pressure to keep you from filing a claim. Read about claim suppression and what you can do about it.

  11. Reopening Your L&I Claim

    After your claim is closed by final order, you may apply to Reopen Your Claim if your medical condition worsens and requires additional medical attention. Once reopened for medical treatment, it is reopened for all purposes and benefits.

  12. Third-Party Claim Rights

    A third-party claim is created if your L&I injury was caused by someone other than a co-employee or your employer. You can have both a third-party claim and an L&I claim. Some third-party claims can be worth a lot of money. Find out if you have a third-party claim. Get information at Third-Party Claims in Washington State L&I.
