What exactly is workers' compensation defense?
It's the process of defending workers' compensation claims that are a result of a workplace injury. Our clients, both insurance companies and self-insured employers, pay many workers' compensation benefits to take care of their employees. However, when a claim arises that seeks to take unfair advantage of the company, we help protect our clients.
Our firm has been in business more than 90 years, and we've seen plenty of changes happen in workers' compensation over the years. When you needed a trusted partner for workers' compensation defense, count on us.
While this case occurred in Washington, D.C., it's a good example of the details around eligibility and process that often occur in workers' compensation cases.
