L&I in King County: What's New

Fraud and abuse reduction strategies

L&I is improving how we respond to complaints about businesses, workers, health care providers and contractors abusing the industrial insurance system so we can better protect the people and companies of our state that play by the rules. In King County, we have a new computer tracking system to coordinate information between internal staff and external sources to be more efficient in the resolution of complaints.

If you would like more information on reporting fraud complaints to L&I, call Geoff Schmid at 206-835-1148 or e-mail him at KingCoReferrals@lni.wa.gov.
