Workers’ compensation and civil litigation overlap more than most attorneys realize, and the crossover can be costly. This program breaks down the hidden risks practitioners on both sides need to know. Topics include how workers’ comp deposition strategies can create unintended exposure in civil proceedings and how civil defendants leverage workers’ comp discovery and awards to challenge civil claims, particularly on disability. The program also addresses how large employers slip civil releases into workers’ comp settlements that comp counsel may not catch. Don’t risk your case by missing the crossover risks hiding in plain sight.
