Future Offset Rights in NY/NJ: Who Pays for What, and When?

This video is from a live webinar that took place on: Monday, May 9, 2022 at 3:00 pm EST

In this LIVE webinar, we address the often-misunderstood issue of future credit and offset rights under Section 40 in New Jersey (NJSA 34:15-40) and Section 29 in New York (WCL Section 29) when the petitioner/claimant settles their third-party case. We will examine in detail what the statutes require, what the law dictates, and how you can maximize the application of your future credit/offset rights in your claims.

We discuss the following:

What Section 40 and Section 29 say about future offset rights following a third-party settlement.
How these statutory rights have been applied by the courts.
When and how to start taking and tracking your credit/offset.
Pro tips for practitioners, subrogation specialists, and claims professionals.
