Workers' Compensation Overview

Seattle Workers' Compensation Lawyers

The Walthew Law Firm in Seattle, Washington is one of the largest and oldest Workers' Compensation law firms in the state. Since the 1930s, we have advocated for people injured while on the job and have helped them obtain the compensation they are entitled to by law.

Our clients' Workers' Compensation cases include industrial injuries, occupational disease claims, rejected claims and pursuit of acceptance of conditions related to the original industrial injury or occupational disease. We review the details of each case to make certain that all monetary benefits are being paid correctly. We also address all other issues related to a claim, which might include termination of time loss compensation, payment of loss-of-earning-power benefits, payment of permanent partial disability awards, aggravation or worsening of related conditions, and total permanent disability (pension) benefits. At The Walthew Law Firm, we will handle your Workers' Compensation case in a team-oriented setting and with great attention to detail. Our extensive knowledge of the Workers' Compensation laws enables us to review every detail of your case. In work injury cases, timing is crucial, and this includes your decision to retain an attorney.

During your initial free consultation via telephone or at our office, we will review with you the pertinent background information about your claim, preliminarily identify the problems on your claim, advise you of your rights under the Industrial Insurance laws, and then make a recommendation about representation now about or at some point in the future. Our goal is to make certain that your rights are protected and that you timely receive all of your benefits under the Workers' Compensation laws of the state of Washington.

We know what to do if a claim is rejected by the Department of Labor & Industries or Self-Insured Employer. We have the experience to review claim files, including medical and vocational reports, and pursue benefits for our clients. In many cases, a disabled worker is not aware that they may be entitled to additional benefits or that another claim could be filed. Our attorneys have the knowledge and experience to handle a Third Party personal injury claim arising from an industrial injury, and to advise and assist our clients in pursuing Social Security Disability benefits. Throughout the process of one case or multiple cases, we will keep in close contact with you, answer your questions, and adhere to every deadline.
