Experienced Spokane Welding Injury Lawyer
Welding accidents in Spokane can devastate workers and their families, creating lasting physical and financial hardships. A skilled Spokane welding injury lawyer can provide vital support when you suffer injuries due to inadequate welding safety measures or unsafe working conditions, helping you obtain the workers’ compensation benefits you deserve under Washington law.
I, Drew D. Dalton, bring more than 16 years of experience as a dedicated workers’ compensation attorney fighting for the rights of injured welders throughout Spokane. My commitment remains focused on securing the benefits my clients need to recover and support their families.
How Much Is A Welding Injury Claim Worth?
The value of your workplace injury claim depends on several key factors. Based on my experience representing welding injury victims, compensation typically covers the following:
- Medical treatment, including burn care, eye surgeries and respiratory therapy
- Lost wages during your recovery period
- Permanent disability benefits for lasting impairments
- Vocational rehabilitation if you cannot return to welding
- Ongoing care needs for chronic conditions
Each case presents unique circumstances that affect the total injury compensation available. I take time to fully document your injuries and their impact on your life.
Filing Deadlines For Washington Welding Injury Claims
Time limits are critical in welding injury cases. Washington law requires reporting your injury to your employer within 24 hours. You must file your workers’ compensation claim within one year of the injury date. Missing these deadlines can result in losing your right to benefits.
For occupational diseases like respiratory problems or vision damage that develop over time, you have two years from when you first learned of the condition and its connection to your work to file a claim.
