The Lawyer that can will against all odds

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 ...derailed my entire case and left me with nothing and stopped all compensation payments for a year. Brian dismantled their claims with surgical precision, uncovering evidence and building an airtight argument that not only cleared my name but secured a six figures settlement far beyond my expectations. What sets Brian apart is his masterful command of the law, relentless advocacy, and genuine care for his clients. He navigated complex Defense Base Act nuances, outmaneuvered delays and turned a drawn-out ordeal into a resounding victory – all while keeping me informed and confident every step of the way. His strategic brilliance shone when he countered the fraud allegations head-on, exposing their weaknesses in depositions and filings that left the opposition scrambling. If you’re facing a tough injury claim, corporate stonewalling, or false claims designed to intimidate, hire Brian immediately. He delivered more than outstanding results; he restored my future and proved why he’s the go-to expert for life-changing wins. Thank you, Brian – you’ve earned a client for life and deserve the flood of new cases heading your way!

Industrial Strength

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 ...threw their AG’s against me. I had an excellent medical team in the meantime. My orthopedic doctor explained how terrible the process is and suggested I hire a law firm, based on his experience. Once Brian was on record as my attorney, my claim took a turn for the better. Suddenly all six damages were allowed. The team worked closely with my medical team and after denying a surgery for four years, even though my doctor suggested it immediately after the fall, I received approval for this necessary fusion. The delay had made my condition worse to the point I was unable to work for 1.5 years until surgery was approved. They helped me ensure L&I paid all loss wages in the meantime which was even a great effort. They secured my permanent partial disability ratings by shepherding the communication between doctors and claim manager. I have no doubt that when L&I claim managers see Brian and Arlene representing, they take claims more serious. I witnessed this. It was a great relief to retain Brian so I didn’t have to communicate with claim managers so I could focus on my injuries. I highly recommend Brian Wright.

Absolutely the best workers compensation attorney

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...l and ultimately winning my case. At times I was ready to give up; but huge thanks to Brian’s persistence and his teams excellent responsive support, I made it to the end of a complex process with a successful outcome. I highly recommend Brian and his firm and give Brian a strong endorsement."

Number one in my book.

Purely professional and went the extra mile for 2 years on my claim/case. Brian is a upstanding, by the book, honest and hard working lawyer. His legal team is above all the in my experience and Causey Wright is hands down number one in my opinion. He got me a great settlement after many setbacks. I ...highly recommend Brian and his team. Thank you so much.

Took Sedgwick down and made them pay, all by himself (Boeing's workers comp ins.)

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...y. I had two surgeries on my left shoulder and paid for them with my private ins. Just so I could get use of my shoulder and get back to work. Thank god for attorneys like Brian, who protected my rights, and let Sedgwick know that they can't get away this. These big ins. Company's will walk all over you. Brian and I went to a hearing, so I could testify. He practiced with me in his office. The hearing went well we thought. But the Judge ruled in favor for Sedgwick. Brian got the transcript and went through it and found mistakes. Then filled an appeal with the court, it came back in favor. Since then Brian has negotiated a settlement and I should be getting my first check at the end of January. The Causey/Wright law firm employees are very friendly and helpful.
