Making threats to dissuade workers from filing claims about on the job injuries is prohibited under the law. Taking adverse actions against workers because the workers file L&I claims is also prohibited.

If a covered employer refuses to file the necessary reports, the employee can file the report. L&I claims can be filed at http://www.lni.wa.gov/ . Filing a report directly with L&I is free.

You can also review your specific facts with your attorney to see what legal options you have.
