Can you be fired or laid off while receiving L&I benefits? The short answer is yes—but losing your job does not automatically end your workers’ compensation claim or benefits. Washington law also prohibits an employer from retaliating against you for filing an L&I claim. Learn what may happen to your time-loss benefits, medical coverage, and other workers’ compensation benefits if your employment ends while your claim is open.

Every Washington worker injured on the job has the right to file a workers’ compensation claim. During the claim process, you may be required to attend an Independent Medical Examination. This exam is used to help determine whether your condition is related to your workplace injury and how serious the condition is. Before attending an IME, workers should know what to expect - "independent" does not mean "neutral."
