Important Election News:

2010- Large national insurance companies, including AIG and Liberty Mutual, are mounting a campaign to take over the workers' compensation system in Washington.  They have sponsored Initiative 1082 which would allow these insurance companies to administer claims with almost no oversight.  We urge you to vote no on this initiative which would certainly harm injured workers.  Click here for more information.  

New Case Law:

2010- On August 12, 2010, the Washington Supreme Court ruled in favor of our client, Jim Tobin, in Tobin v. Department of Labor & Industries.  The Supreme Court ruled that the Department was not entitled to assert a lien against the pain and suffering portion of Mr. Tobin's third party (personal injury) recovery.  This case was handled by David Lauman.  Click here to read the decision.

Legislative News:

2009- Thanks in part to the efforts of firm members Kathryn Comfort and David Lauman, the legislature passed and the Governor signed into law SHB 1402. 
This bill protects injured workers by setting limits on contact between treating doctors and the attorneys representing employers and the Department of Labor and Industries once a claim is on appeal.
