How We Do It
Through proactive risk management advice, we help our clients develop and implement cost-effective safety measures and strategies to reduce the likelihood of workplace injuries and prevent future claims. Our hands-on approach includes managing all stages of the claims process from initial evaluation of an occupational-related injury through case resolution.
Working directly with claims examiners, we vigorously attack each individual claim – not just defending against liability, but also disputing medical and disability findings. We also partner with clients to resolve cases prior to formal proceedings before state-run commissions. This collaboration leads to expedient case resolutions and superior results for our clients.
