Defending Employers Podcast: Episode 309

The Concept of “Extra-Comp” Exposure and How to Fight It

The employee files a workers’ compensation claim and, assuming they prove their case, we pay medical and/or indemnity. Seems straightforward enough. Recently, however, demands for various types of “reimbursement” under workers’ compensation policies have been increasing. Providers are suing employers/carriers in civil court as assignee of the claimant. No-fault insurers are demanding reimbursement of amounts they believe the workers’ compensation carrier should have paid. Health insurers are serving non-HIMP compliant reimbursement demands.

In this episode, “The Concept of “Extra-Comp” Exposure and How to Fight It,” we dive into how we can avoid significant “back-end” exposure for workers’ compensation benefits outside of the workers’ compensation claim itself.

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.
