Workers' Compensation Attorney in Seattle

This is a form of insurance that provides medical benefits and wage replacement to employees injured or become ill during their employment. It is a no-fault system, meaning employees can receive benefits regardless of who caused the workplace injury.

 Common workplace injuries covered by workers' compensation include:

• Slips, trips, and falls
• Repetitive strain injuries
• Injuries from lifting or carrying heavy objects
• Burns and other injuries from workplace accidents
• Occupational diseases

The list above is not conclusive, though. If you believe your injuries or illnesses derive from a work-related incident, we’ll gladly review your case for free.

The steps you take can make or break your case. To avoid jeopardizing your chances of recovering damages, here’s what you should do: 

• Seek medical attention immediately.
• Report the injury to your supervisor promptly.
• Document the details of the accident.
• Gather the contact information of anyone who witnessed the incident 
• Keep records of all medical treatment and expenses.

The insurance company might deny your claim for any of the following reasons:

• Failure to report the injury promptly
• Disputes over the cause or nature of the injury
• Lack of medical evidence supporting the claim
• Injuries occurring outside the scope of employment

Note that some denials may be unjustified and a sign that the insurance company is acting out of bad faith, something we might be able to help determine and decide the best course of action.
