Insurance Company Claims
Our workers’ compensation attorneys get results
Workers’ compensation claims are covered by insurance policies purchased by employers. However, claims can be complicated and claimants may seek benefits beyond those they are eligible to receive. That’s why it’s important to have experienced legal representation to limit liability and protect your organization.
The experienced workers’ compensation defense attorneys at Eller Tonnsen Bach, LLC defend insurance carriers of employers throughout North Carolina and South Carolina. We understand the potential financial impact of a workers’ compensation claim and can design a legal strategy to help you reach a favorable outcome.
Committed to achieving measurable results
Our attorneys carefully examine the claim for benefits and thoroughly review all options for reaching a cost-effective resolution. Every case is different, but generally our legal team can:
- Assess the claim for benefits to determine if it is valid. Our team checks to verify if proper procedures were followed, the correct forms were submitted and that reporting deadlines were met.
- Investigate accident sites, gather evidence and review accident reports.
- Conduct depositions of witnesses to the accident.
- Conduct depositions of medical experts who can provide information on the nature of the injury and expectations for recovery.
- Calculate the appropriate amount of weekly benefits.
- Carefully monitor the injured employee’s recovery and advise clients when termination of benefits is justified.
- Handle subrogation liens.
- Represent clients at mediation hearings.
- Represent clients at hearings before the South Carolina Workers’ Compensation Commission or North Carolina Industrial Commission.
- File appeals of unfavorable rulings and defend against claimant appeals.
- Negotiate a favorable settlement with claimant’s counsel.
- Represent clients in court challenges as needed.
