About this Episode

In this episode, “The Carrier’s Rights Under Kelly, Burns, and Bissell,” Christopher Major explores the carrier’s right to reimbursement and subrogation under Section 29 of the New York workers’ compensation law.

Major discusses the following:

  • There’s no such thing as 1/3rd, 1/3rd, 1/3rd in New York!
  • How Kelly apportionment works with examples.
  • How the Burns decision impacts recovery for Loss of Wage Earning Capacity awards.
  • Understanding how the share of litigation expense impacts recovery.
  • What the Matter of Stenson means for lien waiver.
  • The Bissell decision and speculative medial expenses.

This audio is from a live webinar provided to clients on August 9, 2021.
