Workers’ Compensation and Longshore Claims If you have suffered a work-related injury or an occupational disease while employed in the state of Washington, you may be entitled to recover certain benefits under Washington’s Industrial Insurance Act or the Federal Longshore and Harbor Workers Act. The injury may be caused by a single event or it may be progressive, occurring over a period of time. These benefits are paid regardless of fault. You may be entitled to… Medical Treatment Rehabilitation and Therapy Temporary Total Disability Payments (Time Loss) Vocational Retraining Permanent Partial Disability Lifetime Pension Unfortunately, the Department of Labor and Industries and Self-Insured Employers do not always look out for your best interests. They may often hire the best attorneys they can to work against you. You should hire only the best, most experienced attorneys to represent you. Many attorneys advertise that they handle workers’ compensation cases. However, few handle more than several cases each year. When you suffer an on-the-job injury, you need experienced attorneys who handle claims for injured workers on a regular basis. The attorneys at Small, Snell, Weiss, & Comfort, P.S. have years of experience and over those years the firm has been engaged to represent thousands of injured workers. There is no fee for your initial office consultation, and we will only charge a fee if our representation leads to the successful recovery of benefits for you. You are responsible for the costs of pursuing your claim. [Home] [Workers' Comp] [Personal Injury] [Soc. Security] [Our Firm] 4002 Tacoma Mall Blvd Suite 200 Tacoma, WA 98409 253-472-2400
