Maritime Injury FAQ

Common questions

Is this a law firm?

No. WA Legal Help is a legal advertising website. It is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Your inquiry may be shared with a participating Washington law firm for review.

What does a case review cost?

Requesting a case review through this website is free. A participating law firm will explain any fees during your consultation.

How long do I have to file an L&I claim in Washington?

A workers' compensation (L&I) claim for an injury generally must be filed within one year of the injury — and occupational disease claims within two years of written notice from a doctor that the condition is work-related. This is general information, not legal advice. A participating law firm can explain the deadlines that apply to you.

Do maritime workers file L&I claims?

Often not — seamen generally fall under the federal Jones Act and general maritime law, and longshore workers under the federal LHWCA, rather than Washington L&I. Which system applies depends on your work and where the injury happened, and it changes the benefits and deadlines. A participating law firm can review which applies to you. This is general information, not legal advice.
