In conjunction with the labor and employment relations aspects of our practice, we administer, manage and defend workers' compensation claims on behalf of our clients. To aid our clients in achieving positive economic results, our legal and paralegal staff provide an effective risk management program which consists of claims administration and an aggressive defense program.

Each of our clients is assigned an attorney and a paralegal to service the account directly. The attorney and paralegal become intimately involved in the Company's claims history and its day-to-day workers' compensation protocol and activities. By focusing and limiting their practice to workers' compensation matters, our attorneys and paralegals have developed highly effective levels of expertise. In addition, they have established a working rapport with those who administer the claims at both the Bureau of Workers' Compensation and Industrial Commission.

Our practice includes representation of both state-funded and self-insured employers. We also conduct workers' compensation audits to determine how our clients can minimize injury-related costs and liabilities.

Further, we have specifically developed a niche in organizing and representing clients through Group Rating Programs, which allow substantially similar employers to "pool" together to achieve lower premium rates than they could otherwise acquire as individual employers.
