Episode 322: Getting Creative With Global Settlements: Lien Waivers, Litigation Costs, and Clever Consent Agreements

Lois Law Firm — Mon, 18 Mar 2024 17:00:00 -0400

Both New York and New Jersey require the workers’ compensation carrier to contribute its equitable share of litigation costs on the petitioner/claimant’s third-party recovery. One of the best ways to cut down exposure and resolve a workers’ compensation claim months (sometimes years!) earlier than it otherwise would have is a “global settlement.”

In this episode, “Getting Creative With Global Settlements: Lien Waivers, Litigation Costs, and Clever Consent Agreements,” we discuss when a case is in a position for a “global settlement,” how the numbers work in both States, best practices, and how the carrier can avail itself of a clever consent agreement to settle on its terms.

Lois Law Firm — Tue, 20 Feb 2024 16:15:00 -0500

In both New York and New Jersey, workers’ compensation is deemed primary to no-fault benefits, such that the carrier is expected to pay for medical treatment and indemnity in a work-related motor vehicle accident.

Episode 316: What Happens When the Employer is Sued Civilly?

Lois Law Firm — Tue, 16 Jan 2024 16:15:00 -0500

While the workers’ compensation employer and carrier are generally immune from suit for work-related injuries in both New York (Sections 11 and 29(6)) and New Jersey (NJSA 34:15-8), sometimes the insured will be named a defendant in the claimant’s civil action. This could be for any number of reasons (discovery purposes only, an alleged intentional wrong, New York’s Scaffold Law, impleader for indemnification/contribution, etc.), but the insured’s involvement in the civil action has a direct impact on the reimbursement and subrogation potential of the claim!

In this episode, “What Happens When the Employer is Sued Civilly?,” we explore the types of situations where the insured ends up in civil litigation for a work-related accident, and what the best practices are when that happens.

Episode 309: The Concept of “Extra-Comp” Exposure and How to Fight It

Lois Law Firm — Mon, 13 Nov 2023 16:30:00 -0500

The employee files a workers’ compensation claim and, assuming they prove their case, we pay medical and/or indemnity. Seems straightforward enough. Recently, however, demands for various types of “reimbursement” under workers’ compensation policies have been increasing. Providers are suing employers/carriers in civil court as assignee of the claimant. No-fault insurers are demanding reimbursement of amounts they believe the workers’ compensation carrier should have paid. Health insurers are serving non-HIMP compliant reimbursement demands.

In this episode, "The Concept of “Extra-Comp” Exposure and How to Fight It," we dive into how we can avoid significant “back-end” exposure for workers’ compensation benefits outside of the workers’ compensation claim itself.
