L&I Pension Reserves

An L&I disability pension is a special category of pension only awarded to the most severely injured workers. If you are eligible for a disability pension, you will receive a non-taxable payment every month for the rest of your life.

The process involves complicated bureaucratic hurdles and red tape, along with consultations with claims managers, employers, vocational counselors, and independent medical examiners who do not always have your best interests in mind. These parties have blocked many workers before you and will try to stop you from securing an L&I pension. Emery | Reddy, PLLC has a proven track record of avoiding those traps and is your best bet for successfully navigating the system. Some of our successes include:

  • Pension valued at $781,009
  • Pension valued at $713,915
