Washington Order Awarding Compensation is an order issued by the Department of Labor and Industries (L&I) to provide monetary compensation to individuals who have suffered a work-related injury or occupational illness in the state of Washington. This order is issued following an investigation by an L&I claims manager and is based on the facts and conclusions of the investigation. There are two types of Washington Order Awarding Compensation: Scheduled Loss Awards and Non-Scheduled Loss Awards. Scheduled Loss Awards are based on a predetermined amount of compensation for a specific injury or illness, and Non-Scheduled Loss Awards are determined by a claims manager based on the facts of the case. Both types of awards can include compensation for lost wages, medical expenses, rehabilitation expenses, and other costs related to the injury or illness.
