Experiencing unsafe working conditions? - Carlisle + Byers

Chris Carlisle08 Mar, 2024Legal

In 1911, Washington State enacted laws that were intended to be a compromise between employers and employees. Back then, employers weren’t required to meet workplace safety standards, resulting in gross negligence and cost-cutting practices. Soaring injury rates led to businesses’ inability to keep up with the constant string of lawsuits. To address the issues, Washington passed the Industrial Insurance Act, which aimed to set standards for workplace safety and create a no-fault coverage system for workers injured on the job.
