If you want to file a workers’ compensation claim, you need to have a medical professional evaluate your health. Your doctor has a responsibility to submit a claim in your name, but only if you tell them that you got hurt at work.
Once a doctor looks you over, you can write a report telling your employer about your injury. You can also request a Report of Accident (ROA). Your employer may then file a workers’ compensation claim with Washington’s Labor & Industry State Department. That department will determine your right to compensation.
Our workers’ compensation lawyers can help you with every stage of this process, especially if your employer refuses to recognize your losses. We can also help employees of self-insured businesses file Form SIF-2s, which differ from traditional workers’ compensation forms.
If necessary, we can also take your employer to court after persistent refusals to support you.
