Workers Compensation Attorney in Seattle, Washington

Since it's in society's best interest for people to be productive in their work, it's also in society's best interest for all workers to have a safe workplace. For that reason, anyone who was injured on the job is entitled to receive workers' compensation benefits – even if the accident was the worker's fault.

But how much benefits are needed? If your injury causes you to become disabled, then your settlement may need to support you for a long time. A lawyer can help you make sure you are awarded enough to cover your expenses.

At the Law Office of Daniel R. Whitmore, we provide dedicated, reputable service you can trust. To ask questions about how our firm can help you, call 206-792-7823 or contact us online today for a free consultation.

You Can Receive Benefits for Many Aspects of Your Claim

Workers' compensation benefits are meant to cover many aspects of your injury. This can include:

  • Medical expenses
  • Lost wages
  • Job retraining and vocational rehabilitation (but not in all cases)
  • Cash awards for permanent partial disabilities
  • Long-term disability benefits (if your are permanently impaired)

However, there are government-imposed limits on how much you can receive in workers' compensation. You can't recover benefits for things like pain and suffering, lost enjoyment of life or modifications to your home that may be necessary if your injury caused a disability.

On the other hand, if you were injured by someone who doesn't work for the same company as you do (like another contractor in a construction worksite or a reckless driver if you were in a motor vehicle accident on the job), then you can file a normal personal injury lawsuit against that person or company. This is called "third party litigation."
