[WSBARP] Small Construction Contractor Needs Defense Against Negligence Claim

[Rob Bartlett]

I'd be interested in speaking with the PC.  In the interim has this been tendered to the PC's insurer?  Also, I am hired regularly by L&I to pursue 3rd party actions on its behalf when the injured worker fails to pursue claims.  I don't think there's a conflict here, but I am conversant on the L&I angle.

Best, and thank you in advance.

Hello, Listmates.

I'm throwing the net wide on this question, so apologies if it shows up on more than one list-serv. I don't do negligence/personal injury work, so I have a potential client for somebody. Spanish-speaking is a plus, as client has limited English. But he's a citizen and is used to working with interpreters when necessary.

His company sub-contracted with a large company on building some homes, a worker was injured (unclear to me what role L & I is playing in the situation), but in any case the injured worker has sued the Contractor, who in turn is pointing the finger in a Third-Party Complaint at this gentleman, the subcontractor, as being responsible for safety. The sub-contractor, a mix of diligent and unsophisticated, has taken action in response to getting papers from court...just not the right action, which is to get a lawyer who handles this type of case. So the case has advanced, and some early stages of Discovery has taken place.

Any referrals or self-referrals?


Best Regards,

Dave Culbertson
