Gain insights on identifying eligible claimants, navigating legal complexities, and minimizing risks.
This presentation is perfect for any professional who may be involved in employee safety or the workers' compensation claims process. Attendees of this presentation will gain a basic understanding of those individuals who may be entitled to workers' compensation benefits, and what to watch out for when hiring individuals, you think are independent contractors, but may still be covered under workers' compensation laws. Next, we will discuss the types of injuries that may be reported and how to investigate them, outlining best practices to ensure a claim that should be denied, is denied. The course will also discuss what benefits are available to injured workers and how to mitigate your risk to some of those benefits. Finally, the course will discuss working with legal counsel and how to successfully manage a claim that is in litigation from both the employer and insurer's perspective.
