I tried to get worker's compensation in Washington state but couldn't find a lawyer anywhere in my area willing to take my case. One actually agreed to meet in person but told me his payoff is based only on the payoff I get. I am not legally allowed to pay him outside of what he would win for me. My payoff would have been lots of physical therapy, doctor visits, and the like. What's 20% of physical therapy? I never heard from him again and ended up just giving up on the case. This was despite or because of I had already had a case in NJ which I couldn't continue due to lack of any doctors willing to take it. It's a great system for the state when you have zero chance of winning. I wonder what Washington state does with all the money it collects and refuses to pay to the people that need it. Other than paying doctors to review cases for ten minutes, violate their Hippocratic oath, and say they don't think the injury is work related when it obviously is.
