Injured Out of State.
	A Washington worker can file a claim in Washington even if the injury occurs out of state. You may file a claim in both Washington State and in the state or country in which you were injured, but any benefits you receive from another state will be credited against any benefits to which you may be eligible from L&I.
Questions workers have: How do I know if I am a Washington worker? You are considered a worker of whatever state your employer has a place of business, if you regularly work at or from that place of business. If your employer has a place of business in Washington and you regularly work at or from that place of business, you are a Washington worker. If your employer's place of business is in another state other than Washington and you regularly work at or from that place of business, you are considered a worker of the state that place of business is located, and you aren't a Washington worker. What if I don't regularly work in a state my employer has a place of business? If your employer doesn't have a place of business in the state where you work, you are considered a worker of the state you reside, if you work a substantial amount of your time in the state where you reside. If your home is in Washington you work a substantial amount of your time in Washington, you are a Washington worker. If you home is in another state and you work a substantial amount of your time in that state, then you are considered a worker in the state where you reside, and you aren't a Washington worker. What if I don't work either in a state where my employer has a place of business nor in the state I reside, or what if I work outside the United States? If your employer has no business location in the state you work, and you don't live in the state you work, then you will be a Washington worker only if your contract of hire was made in the state of Washington.
