Workers\u2019 compensation involves more than just providing medical treatment or writing a check for benefits, from an employer\u2019s perspective. It involves effective claims handling to return injured workers back to productive employment, identifying those problem cases and taking appropriate action to resolve them, and finally, litigating those cases that cannot be resolved in any other manner. Case law, statutes and legislation in California change frequently, and staying on top of these changes is not simple. The application of these changes and the monitoring of the environment in which they will be applied also requires the utmost commitment. Effective handling of these types of claims often demands involvement from an attorney who specializes in workers\u2019 compensation from day one of the claim until its conclusion.<\/p>\n
