Penalty claims are brought by attorneys representing injured workers against employers, TPAs and workers' compensation carriers for alleged non-payment or late payment of benefits to, or on behalf of, the injured worker. If penalty claims are proven, they can drastically increase the liability facing employers/carriers.
Designed to combat escalating penalty claims, Laughlin, Falbo, Levy & Moresi LLP has expanded their professional services of Workers' Compensation defense to include a special department devoted specifically to the defense of penalty claims. Philip Bachrach brings years of experience in successful litigation and negotiation in reducing penalty exposure.
The "Penalty Defense" philosophy, "working to foster a closer relationship between counsel and claims units using pro-active measures and education", can reduce potential liability caused by mistakes in providing benefits and save money.
