How They Can Help

Madel and Smith helps injured clients navigate both the Washington State workers compensation system and personal injury claims. For workers comp cases, this includes filing claims with the Department of Labor and Industries, disputing claim denials, appealing decisions, and negotiating with insurers over the extent of a worker's injuries and benefits. For personal injury clients, the firm works to establish liability, document damages, and pursue fair settlements or verdicts. The firm's experience in both areas is useful when an on-the-job injury also involves a third-party claim, such as when faulty equipment or a negligent contractor contributed to the accident.

What to Expect

When you reach out to Madel and Smith at their Spokane office, the attorneys will want to learn the details of your injury, how it happened, what treatment you have received, and what response you have gotten from an employer or insurance company so far. From there, they can advise you on whether to pursue a workers comp claim, a personal injury claim, or both. The firm handles the communication and legal filings while you focus on recovery. Workers comp and personal injury cases are typically handled on a contingency basis, so you generally do not pay attorney fees unless your case resolves in your favor.

Service Area

Madel and Smith serves injured clients throughout Spokane and the surrounding communities of eastern Washington, including areas throughout Spokane County and nearby regions of the Inland Northwest.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a workers compensation claim and a personal injury claim?

My workers comp claim was denied in Washington. What can I do?
Washington's Department of Labor and Industries allows workers to appeal denied claims through a formal protest and, if needed, an appeal to the Board of Industrial Insurance Appeals. Madel and Smith can review the denial and help you build the case for an appeal.
