The Board of Industrial Insurance Appeals' electronic filing system is designed to simplify and speed the process of filing an appeal. A claimant has the right to file an appeal with the BIIA from decisions of the Department of Labor and Industries regarding a crime victim's claim. See RCW 7.68.110. Generally, you must file an appeal with the BIIA within 90 DAYS of receiving L&I's decision. Please refer to the L&I decision for specific deadlines and additional information.
If you wish to appeal an L&I decision, complete the form below. We will send you a filing confirmation to the email address you provide. It is not necessary to send a paper copy of the appeal.
Public disclosure: Please note that information provided in an appeal may be subject to public disclosure under RCW 42.56.070(1).
Customary office hours: Documents received after 5 p.m. will be deemed filed the next business day.
