L&I Workers Compensation
Our L&I attorneys specialize in navigating Washington state's complex workers' compensation system. We help injured workers secure medical benefits, time-loss compensation, and vocational rehabilitation while challenging improper claim denials. Our team's unique dual expertise in employment law ensures comprehensive protection against workplace retaliation. With decades of experience handling Independent Medical Exams and disability pension applications, we maximize recoveries for permanent partial disabilities and catastrophic injuries.
Employment Law
We represent workers facing wrongful termination, wage theft, and discrimination under Washington's Silenced No More Act and federal protections. Our attorneys challenge non-compete agreements, disability discrimination, and workplace retaliation while pursuing class action remedies. With rare dual expertise in L&I claims, we uniquely address cases where workers' compensation intersects with employment rights violations, ensuring full compensation for lost wages and benefits.
Personal Injury Law
Our personal injury attorneys handle cases arising from auto accidents, construction site injuries, and third-party workplace incidents. We pursue maximum compensation for catastrophic injuries, chronic pain, and wrongful death while coordinating with L&I claims. With former insurance defense experience, we anticipate opposition tactics to build strong cases involving medical malpractice, product liability, and premises liability across Washington state.
Class Action Lawsuits
We represent workers in class action litigation against systemic wage violations, misclassification, and employment law breaches. Our team has successfully challenged corporate policies affecting thousands of employees, recovering millions in unpaid wages and benefits. With experience against Fortune 500 companies, we combine individual case strength with collective action strategies to achieve industry-wide reforms and ensure fair workplace practices.
PPD Awards
We specialize in maximizing permanent partial disability awards through strategic claim evaluation and expert medical testimony. Our attorneys challenge lowball settlement offers while navigating the complex rating system for injury severity. With experience securing disability pensions for totally incapacitated workers, we ensure accurate valuation of long-term impacts including vocational limitations and future medical needs through comprehensive case documentation.

Questions
Do I need both L&I and employment law representation?
Yes, when workplace injuries intersect with employment issues like retaliation or wrongful termination. Our dual expertise ensures full compensation for both medical benefits and employment-related damages.
How are PPD award amounts determined?
Permanent partial disability ratings consider injury severity, medical evidence, and future impact. Our attorneys challenge low ratings using independent medical experts to maximize compensation.
Can I record my IME examination?
Yes, with seven days' notice. We advise recording IMEs to protect against biased evaluations while preparing counter-expert testimony when needed.
What constitutes wage theft?
Wage violations include unpaid overtime, misclassification as independent contractors, and denied meal/rest breaks. Our class action team has recovered millions in stolen wages from major corporations.
How long do I have to file an L&I claim?
Report workplace injuries within one year, or two years for occupational diseases. Timely filing preserves your right to medical benefits and wage replacement through the L&I process.
