Serving the Subrogation Needs of Employers and Insurers
Subrogation is a legal process by which employers and insurance companies recover funds for valid claims paid to their clients which were the responsibility of another. When a legitimate claim results in a health claim being paid under the general liability health policy, the insurer or employer who paid the claim is entitled to assert a claim against the responsible individuals or entities in order to recover from them or their specific loss insurers claims paid for which the defendant must be held liable.
In conjunction with Other Party Liability Inc. (OPL), Laffey & Associates P.C. offers a systematic program of subrogation outsourcing for employers and insurance companies, primarily health care plans. Although the firm's office is located in Carnegie, just outside Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, its attorneys represent clients throughout the country and have worked with individuals and companies in all 50 states.
Subrogation Administration by Lawyers
Most vendors who do subrogation work for employers and insurance companies are not attorneys. At OPL, highly skilled lawyers represent the interests of employers and insurers seeking to recover funds they paid on legitimate claims.
Because the organization is run by attorneys, it is able to handle subrogation claims both in and out of court. When possible, OPL will strive to resolve cases without litigation. However, if a matter is best served by going to court, OPL is prepared to use its extensive litigation experience.
