A Collaborative Approach To
Workers’ Compensation Defense

“You are amazing…I hope I am not annoying you with all of the claims I send your way. I am totally in favor of aggressive defense counsel handling and that’s what I get with you. At the file review the account was happy to hear that I had an aggressive DC on the files…They loved the plans we had and hopefully everything will turn out in our favor.”

“…You guys are amazing and probably one of the few attorney firms that actually think outside the box. Our whole relationship started because another firm that shall go nameless did not recommend an appeal and I thought it needed an appeal and I sent it over to your office and your office appealed it and we prevailed and so started our 4+ years working together…”

“Melissa is directing [local] counsel at our request, since she knows more than they do. You may quote me…in fact, no other firm we have used even approaches what you guys are able to do with these cases. I hope you all make millions and buy your own skyscraper to accommodate growth.”

I just have to tell you that, while I enjoy working with all of the attorneys in your office and I have very high opinions of them all, I LOVE working with Brian! You might recall the file in metro NY that I asked if you would take over from the other firm. Brian’s Memorandum of Law is beautiful! I will not be at all surprised if the Judge chooses to award this claimant a 0% SLU. In my humble opinion, if I had left this file in the hands of the prior firm, I believe that the claimant would have been awarded a 30% SLU which would have been a split between the treating provider and our IME. I wanted to make sure that you are aware of what an amazing job he does!

I want to let you know that Melanie Daly did a great job on this file in her prep for today’s hearing. This is an OD claim for bilateral hearing loss which we controverted based on the medical evidence, and timely filing. The case transferred to me rather recently and I saw that depos were underway, with an upcoming hearing scheduled. Based on the outcome of the depositions our Section 28 defense was done and it appears that the only thing left would be determining SLU. Melanie Daly called me yesterday afternoon and stated that she say the employer had additional coverage and a possible wrap up policy at the location the claimant last worked. I immediately contacted the employer and he confirmed that there was a wrap up at that location. I also contacted our underwriter and sure enough, we have an exclusion at that location. I forwarded her all the documents and she intends on raising the issue of coverage today. Without her thorough review in preparation of this file, this would not have been caught. We may have lost our right to raise the issue now but it certainly warrants recognition that she put forth the effort to find this.
