Serving Insurance Companies and Employers Nationwide
When an employee suffers a job injury, workers' compensation should pay the work-related medical claim. Unfortunately, too often health care plans end up paying the claims because employees either fail to file for workers' compensation coverage or are not experiences and interested enough to comply with the many specific requirements and time frames required to pursue a workers compensation claim.
In conjunction with Other Party Liability Inc. (OPL), Laffey & Associates P.C. pursues workers' compensation subrogation claims for insurance companies and self-insured employers. While not all subrogation vendors are qualified subrogation attorneys, OPL is composed of highly skilled lawyers with broad litigation experience. While many self-funded employers are not as concerned with which pocket pays the claims, a complete Workers compensation identification process will also discover the many dependents and spouses whose claims should be covered by their employer.
Holding Worker's Compensation Financially Responsible
It is important that workers' compensation takes financial responsibility for any qualified claims. Many times, workplace injuries are not lost time injuries. When employees seek medical treatment for these injuries, health care insurance ends up paying the claims. However, workers' compensation should be paying for these, as well as any lost time injuries incurred in the scope of employment.
OPL represents insurance companies and self-insured employers in subrogation claims against workers' compensation carriers. The organization aggressively investigates, initiates and pursues payment, striving to hold workers' compensation accountable.
Understanding Each State's Workers' Compensation Statute
Every state has a different workers' compensation statute. For efficient and effective subrogation representation, a vendor must be knowledgeable about each state's subrogation regulations, including any applicable statute of limitations.
The law governing workers' compensation subrogation is complex. To recover, a vendor must possess in-depth knowledge of the law and an understanding of its practical applications. OPL is a qualified subrogation administration vendor. Composed of highly skilled attorneys, OPL strives to resolve cases outside the courtroom. When a case is best served by going to trial, however, the organization calls on its extensive litigation experience in the state and federal courts.
