Description

The Department of Labor and Industries was designed almost 100 years ago. Over the last century, it's primary purpose has been to protect workers. L&I is responsible for developing laws to keep workplaces safe. It is also responisble for helping workers get back on their feet after an injury. Unfortunately, the Department sometimes fails to live up to this purpose.What can you do about it? If you have received a Department order which you believe is incorrect, it is extremely important for you to act quickly. When the Department makes a decision, it usually issues a "Department Order". If you dissagree with that order, you must protest it within 60 days of the date you receive it. Your rights can be severly limited if you do not act within that 60 day time period.You may want to consider talking to an attorney about your case. Workers' Compensation law can be complicated. To fully protect your rights, you need someone on your side who understands those complexities. It is also quite common, that workers get shortchanged by the Department in terms of the amount of benefits they get. A lawyer can help you determine whether you have received all that you deserve.
