Washington L&I And Employment Law Resource Center

Our L&I and employment law and resource center has quick links to helpful information. Read below to learn more about how L&I works in Washington State.

What Is L&I?

L&I is short for the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries, which handles workers’ compensation claims for employees who are injured or develop certain illnesses at work.

How Does L&I Work?

When you get hurt, fall ill, or contract certain types of illnesses at work, you’re entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. You can start the L&I claims process by filing a claim online through the L&I website, by calling the L&I office at 877.561.3453, or at their doctor’s office. If all goes as planned, your claim is accepted by L&I and the worker receives various benefits.

Types Of L&I Settlements

L&I settlements are paid out once the claim is closed, though the total settlement amount awarded upon claim closure depends on the size of the settlement. L&I settlement amounts vary widely and typically fall into three categories:

Claim Resolution Settlement Agreement (CRSA)
Disability Pension
Permanent Partial Disability (PPD) Awards

Don’t Let An IME Jeopardize Your Case

Once an L&I claims manager orders an Independent Medical Examination to fight your claim, you should immediately contact a Seattle L&I attorney. They can identify any tests or procedures that aren’t appropriate to the IME counsel, and counsel you on risky or unfavorable subjects you should avoid discussing during the exam.

To learn more about IMEs, read our essential IME tips. The L&I attorneys at Emery | Reddy have over 15 years of experience handling L&I claims, employment law cases, and third-party injury claims. Call us for a free case review and see how we can help you get the workers’ compensation benefits you deserve. Please remember to have your L&I claim number readily available.
