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.
What if my L&I claim was denied?
A denial is not necessarily the end. Washington L&I decisions can be protested to the Department and appealed to the Board of Industrial Insurance Appeals, and the deadlines at each step are strict. A participating law firm can review the denial and explain your options.
