Workers' Compensation

From compliance issues and insurance rates to compensation for injury or illness, employers carry the great burden of maintaining a safe workplace and properly handling employee claims. Considering costs involved with employee injury and illness, it is in employers' best interests to make workers' compensation compliance and claims handling a priority.

Littler's Workers' Compensation Group specializes in this complicated area of the employment law, and understands the complex relationships between employers, insurance carriers, claims administrators, and employees. We work with employers to ensure workplace safety in the following ways:

• proactively maintaining proper plans and documents, such as injury and illness prevention plans and workers' compensation insurance, and training employees to properly implement those plans;
• preventing or dealing with workplace compliance issues and workers' compensation discrimination;
• conducting workplace site assessments and evaluations to ensure safety regulation compliance; and
• in the event of an injury, providing counsel and working with employers to develop and implement effective claims handling and monitoring procedures.

By providing employers with proactive advice and recommendations, Littler can help employers reduce the chances for workplace injuries and be well-positioned in the event of litigation. As the nation's largest employment and labor law firm, Littler is uniquely prepared to handle workers' compensation claims and cases that involve other employment laws including discrimination, disability, or unemployment, with equal ease.

Because workers' compensation litigation can greatly affect other aspects of an employer's business, Littler attorneys work closely with the employer during litigation to achieve the most beneficial solution.
