The legal team at Slade Neighbors is dedicated to representing employers, insurers, self-insureds and third-party administrators in all aspects of workers’ compensation claims from the simplest matter to complex cases involving multiple parties with structured settlements. The firm devotes 100% of its practice to the defense of these claims and we have extensive experience in trying these cases before all District Offices of the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board throughout the State of California. Our attorneys are also proficient in pursuing and defending appeals before Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board Commissioners, the Courts of Appeal and Supreme Court. We are routinely requested to negotiate the final terms of and draft settlement stipulations. In the event a settlement is reached with an employee prior to assignment, we can assist with drafting a settlement stipulation and ensuring that it is given Board approval. In addition to representing our clients in the litigation stage of any claim, we also work with our clients to ensure effective mediations and appeals when necessary. Our attorneys are also skilled at managing workers’ compensation claims. We ensure that claims are regularly reevaluated. We also recognize that effective supervision of claims – including the monetary costs associated with the defense of claims – is just as important as a strong defense. Whether it is a quick claim closure, aggressive fraud intervention, claim reviews or special handling you are looking for, we are here to satisfy your needs. Our commitment, knowledge, experience and service is what has made us one of the top Workers' Compensation defense law firms in California. |
