Workers' Compensation Defense
As Workers' Compensation defense specialists, Laughlin,
Falbo, Levy & Moresi LLP traces its roots to the mid-1930s; this area
continues to be the largest part of the firm's practice.
Attorneys in this specialty represent insurance companies, self-insured
employers and public agencies before the California Workers' Compensation
Appeals Board, Courts of Appeal and Supreme Court. In addition, they represent
employers in Serious and Willful Misconduct and Labor Code Section 132a
actions.
They handle disputed workers' compensation claims through advice to clients,
assistance in discovery, representation through all phases of litigation and
negotiation of resolutions. They also assist in developing evidence that has
led to prosecution for insurance fraud.
This field has grown more complex and technical in recent years with
laws/statutes varying the practice from year to year. The firm's Workers Compensation lawyers
conduct educational classes and seminars for clients and professional
organizations. They are pleased to address individual companies on any subject
in the field that may be of interest or about which they believe their staff
should be better informed. These may include seminars on medical issues, as
they relate to disability cases, or on legal issues, such as research and
advocacy. They are also pleased to address recent appellate decisions in the
workers' compensation field or any other topics that will assist our clients
with compliance with their educational requirements.
