Talk to us about these and other L&I Benefits

The Statute of Limitations

You have one year from the date of injury to file a workers’ compensation claim. Statute of Limitations. Report the injury to your employer, file the claim, and get your benefits approved. The actual time it will take for your case to resolve varies widely depending on several factors, including the nature and extent of the injury, the amount of medical care you need, whether the L&I denies your case, and whether it needs to go to trial. Some cases move quickly. Some cases require years of medical evaluations and treatments to accurately determine the consequences on the injured person’s ability to work. Your case is unique. Contact us for unique advice.

How Does L&I Work?

It has been said many times that L&I doesn’t work. Many injured workers will experience delays and confusion, and you may wonder what is going on.

L&I was designed as a no-fault system. However, sometimes, claims managers treat you like it’s your fault.

L&I is insurance that you paid for. When you get an injury, that is the time to use your L&I or lose it. You should file a claim and get your benefits if you are hurt on the job. Benefits include medical caretime lossvocational trainingpermanent partial disability settlements, and pensions.

L&I is big and busy. L&I will want to push you through their system unless you stand up for yourself and make them treat you right.

L&I Knows What They Are Doing. Don’t Let Them Do It to You and Ruin Your Claim

Workers compensation claims managers often deny claims outright or deny necessary medical treatment. Many also insist that the injured worker consults a doctor chosen by L&I, not by the worker – a doctor who L&I pays. The attorneys representing L&I will argue that the worker’s injuries are not so bad.

Another tactic employed by L&I and the self-insured companies and their lawyers is to offer the injured worker a quick and inadequate settlement and then close the claim. When a worker is injured and unable to earn a paycheck, taking a quick lump sum payment can seem attractive, even though the injured worker may very well regret taking the payment in the future as medical expenses pile up and wages are lost due to an inability to return to work.

Don’t settle cheap. Get advice and get a good result.

Managing the L&I Claim

From claim filing to final settlement there is an art and science to effective claims management. File your claim, see your doctor, get well, get back to work or get job training, and settle your claim for a good result. Stand up for your rights. Insist on the best for yourself.  Contact us if we can help. We’re here for you.
