Brian Wright | MANAGING ATTORNEY, OWNER - Causey Wright
Brian grew up in the greater Seattle area and worked various jobs in the construction industry until he returned to school, earning degrees in Japanese Studies and Political Science from the University of Washington. He obtained his law degree, cum laude, from Seattle University School of Law, and served on the editorial board of the Seattle University Law Review. Brian is licensed to practice before the Washington State Supreme Court, United States District Court for the Western District of Washington, and the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
Brian represents injured and disabled workers with workers’ compensation claims before the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries and those covered by the federal Longshore and Harbor Workers Compensation Act which includes waterfront workers, overseas defense contractors (Defense Base Act), and domestic non-appropriated fund employees at U.S. military installations (Nonappropriated Fund Instrumentalities Act).
Brian also collaborates with other law firms filing lawsuits in Washington State on behalf of victims of asbestos-related diseases, and he litigates the occasional Jones Act/maritime case.
In addition to his busy litigation practice, Brian is active with several organizations which help preserve the rights of injured workers. He is an Eagle member of the Washington State Association for Justice (WSAJ), and for 2017-2018 he served as the Chair of its Workers’ Compensation Section. Brian is also a member of the Workers’ Injury Law & Advocacy Group (WILG), a national non-profit organization dedicated to representing the interests of injured workers and their families. He has written and filed “friend of the court” briefs in Washington State on behalf of WILG in significant workers’ compensation cases.
Brian has been named to the Super Lawyers list of Rising Stars since 2016. We hope this trend continues until he reaches the age where he is eligible to be rated as a Super Lawyer. Brian was also recognized as a Rising Star by WILG in 2014.
Outside the office Brian enjoys spending time with his daughter. He can often be found working on his house, cycling, hiking, fly fishing, or playing the drums.

I cannot recommend Brian highly enough – he is the attorney every client dreams of having in their corner during a high-stakes workers’ comp battle. After my work injury sidelined me in October 2023, the opposing counsel threw everything at me, including baseless accusations of fraud that could have ...

Brian and Arlene are a dynamic, experienced attorney/paralegal team. For the first year of my L&I claim I managed my case on my own but provided them access to monitor my case which I appreciated. When the claim manager began denying my treatment, conditions I found myself disputing issues while L&I ...

Brian is absolutely the best for workers compensation knowledge, skilled litigation and excellent guidance throughout the process. A few months after a high tech workplace injury, I hired the firm because my workers compensation was not approved. Brian persisted over 5 years though hearing, appea...

Brian took my case when several other firms said no. He also has won the Rising Star Award. He explained how my case would go through the different steps and how the process works. To the point I completely understood in layman's terms. I got hurt on the job at Boeing and Sedgwick kept denying surger...
