“Extra-Comp” Exposure: How to Combat No-Fault and HIMP Claims

Keeping the exposure down during a workers’ compensation claim is difficult enough. With the deck perpetually stacked against the carrier in New York, enforcing limits on indemnity and medical benefits can be a daunting task. What happens, however, when claims that impact your workers’ compensation reserves arise outside of the Workers’ Compensation Board? Increasingly, we are seeing no-fault insurance carriers and medical providers commencing civil actions against the workers’ compensation carrier for reimbursement of alleged no-fault benefits. We are also seeing our clients receive hundreds, if not thousands, of HIMP-1 demands from the claimant health insurers each year. Some of these demands can be for tens of thousands of dollars! In this episode, “Extra-Comp” Exposure: How to Combat No-Fault and HIMP Claims, we break down how you can see these claims coming, and how to fight back when you get one!

New York Workers’ Compensation Defense at Lois Law Firm

We represent insurance carriers, self-insured employers, third party claim administrators, and employers before the New York State Workers' Compensation Board. We handle cases from cradle-to-grave. We want to be by your side, moving cases aggressively to closure from the start of litigation all the way through to settlement.

We only assign one attorney and one paralegal to each case. This means that your team members always have one contact to go to for any questions. We do not have 'hearing attorney' or a 'negotiation attorney' or 'appeal department' or anything else! All of our attorneys handle all of those roles – meaning cases are not 'passed around' as they move through the litigation process. Your risk professional or adjuster always knows who is assigned – because the attorney does not change.
