Workers’ Compensation Defense
Prepared to pursue a targeted litigation/resolution strategy for each claim
At our core, we resolve workers’ compensation claims. Our team works closely with clients to craft a targeted litigation/resolution strategy for each claim, and we do everything in our power to pursue that resolution with gusto.
We recognize the most efficient resolution will vary from claim to claim. We do not provide a cookie-cutter defense where we treat every claim the same, and we do not perform endless discovery and engage in endless litigation with no effort towards resolution. Instead, our approach is to resolve workers’ compensation claims in the most efficient manner possible to help achieve your desired result.
Whether your claim requires extensive discovery and litigation, needs to be settled with minimal legal expense, or needs to be appealed, our workers’ compensation attorneys will formulate a strategy unique to your needs.
What to Expect
From WJCB’s Workers’ Compensation Defense Team
Proactiveness
Our workers’ compensation defense attorneys never wait to be told what to do. We aggressively pursue resolution and are highly proactive regarding discovery, litigation, and settlement. We provide the necessary information and reporting even before our clients need it and always strive to exceed client expectations.
Responsiveness
We provide responsive representation to all of our clients, and we take pride in the close working relationships we have developed over time. We understand all clients must appropriately plan and reserve for outstanding claims, and we provide timely information to ensure our clients meet those obligations.
Partnership
We are business partners with our clients. Many of our clients have been with the firm for nearly two decades. These long-standing business relationships exist because we understand the economic realities faced by our clients. As a result, we work hard to resolve claims successfully and quickly, at the lowest possible cost but with the highest level of professional representation.
Commitment to Education
We believe in the importance of education. The more a client understands about its claim and the workers’ compensation claim process, the more empowered it is to succeed. We offer training and continuing education to all clients through on-site seminars, webinars, updates on changes in the law, and telephone consultations.
