A Major Mondays Webinar

“Subrogation” as a Term of Art: The Difference Between Lien, Subrogation, and Offset Rights

Both Section 29 and Section 40 give rise to three distinct rights: lien reimbursement, subrogation, and a future credit/offset against additional workers’ compensation benefits. In this webinar, Christopher Major, Civil Practice Team Leader at Lois Law Firm, will explain the differences between these statutory rights, their meaning, and how/when they apply. He will cover benefits that are “lienable,” third-party recoveries subject to a lien, what is needed for formal subrogation, and practical examples of how credit/offset rights apply.
