About the Program

This webinar will explain the nature of workers’ compensation liens in civil litigation and will provide settlement strategies from the various points of view of the personal injury attorney, subrogation attorney, and defense counsel. As a mediator, our panelist has seen the different tactics taken and will explain the positives as well as the pitfalls.

The major learning objective will be to explain workers’ compensation subrogation in light of a pending personal injury claim and the strategies that can be embarked upon during settlement discussions. This session will discuss theories of third party liability, employer liability and the obstacles that should be avoided during negotiation.
