About Walthew Law Firm

When the Department of Labor & Industries or self-insured employer determines an injured worker’s medical condition is “fixed and stable,” meaning no treatment will improve that workers’ medical condition, claim closure is usually next. If the worker returns to work, then a doctor rates permanent partial disability (PPD) (hyperlink) and the claim is closed based on the PPD rating. Written protest to claim closure and proof of a higher rating of PPD must be submitted to the Department of Labor & Industries within 60 days of receipt of the closure order. The attorneys at Walthew Law Firm have extensive experience in how to rate PPD and protests or appeals to claim closure.
