Seattle is a bustling city in the Pacific Northwest known for its technology industry, coffee culture, and stunning natural beauty. But despite the advantages of living and working in Seattle, workers are not immune to injury. Some of the most common occupations in Seattle include freight, stock, and material movers, maintenance and repair laborers, servers, nurses, wholesale and manufacturing workers, carpenters, and heavy truck drivers—all of which come with a high potential for injury.
In Seattle’s highly competitive and fast-paced work environment, having a knowledgeable and experienced L&I attorney in Seattle like Emery | Reddy, PLLC can make all the difference for workers who have been injured on the job.

Seattle workers can file a claim for workers’ compensation through the L&I for a work-related illness or injury. Washington State requires employers to provide workers’ compensation coverage for employees either through L&I or self-insurance. L&I provides medical benefits and time-loss for injured workers who qualify. Each year, L&I processes tens of thousands of claims in the Seattle area, resulting in hundreds of millions worth of benefits for employees hurt on the job.
If you’d like to file a claim and want the process to be as smooth as possible, you need to report your injury as soon as possible and get medical treatment. You should also obtain a qualified Seattle L&I attorney who can help you maximize your benefits and navigate the complexities of the claims process.
In addition to L&I benefits, you may also be able to apply for additional benefits through the Seattle Paid Sick and Safe Time (PSST) Ordinance. An Emery | Reddy Seattle L&I lawyer can help you explore each avenue available to you and advise you on the best strategies for maximizing your compensation.
L&I can be confusing and long for injured workers. If you don’t take the steps to stand up for yourself, they will rush you through their system and downplay your injuries to avoid paying out.

We’ve achieved life-changing results for our Seattle clients time and time again, and we’re ready to help you file a claim with L&I so you can get your life back.
