Episode 322: Getting Creative With Global Settlements: Lien Waivers, Litigation Costs, and Clever Consent Agreements
Both New York and New Jersey require the workers’ compensation carrier to contribute its equitable share of litigation costs on the petitioner/claimant’s third-party recovery. One of the best ways to cut down exposure and resolve a workers’ compensation claim months (sometimes years!) earlier than it otherwise would have is a “global settlement.” In this episode, “Getting Creative With Global Settlements: Lien Waivers, Litigation Costs, and Clever Consent Agreements (https://loisllc.com/webinar/getting-creative-with-global-settlements-lien-waivers-litigation-costs-and-clever-consent-agreements/),” Christopher Major discusses when a case is in a position for a “global settlement,” how the numbers work in both States, best practices, and how the carrier can avail itself of a clever consent agreement to settle on its terms.

Episode 316: What Happens When the Employer is Sued Civilly?
Jan 16 2024
Episode 316: What Happens When the Employer is Sued Civilly?
While the workers’ compensation employer and carrier are generally immune from suit for work-related injuries in both New York (Sections 11 and 29(6)) and New Jersey (NJSA 34:15-8), sometimes the insured will be named a defendant in the claimant’s civil action. This could be for any number of reasons (discovery purposes only, an alleged intentional wrong, New York’s Scaffold Law, impleader for indemnification/contribution, etc.), but the insured’s involvement in the civil action has a direct impact on the reimbursement and subrogation potential of the claim! In this episode, “What Happens When the Employer is Sued Civilly? (https://loisllc.com/webinar/what-happens-when-the-employer-is-sued-civilly-exclusivity-coverage-intentional-wrongs-and-the-impact-on-subrogation-rights/),” Christopher Major explores the types of situations where the insured ends up in civil litigation for a work-related accident, and what the best practices are when that happens.

Episode 309: The Concept of “Extra-Comp” Exposure and How to Fight It
The employee files a workers’ compensation claim and, assuming they prove their case, we pay medical and/or indemnity. Seems straightforward enough. Recently, however, demands for various types of “reimbursement” under workers’ compensation policies have been increasing. Providers are suing employers/carriers in civil court as assignee of the claimant. No-fault insurers are demanding reimbursement of amounts they believe the workers’ compensation carrier should have paid. Health insurers are serving non-HIMP compliant reimbursement demands. In this episode, "The Concept of “Extra-Comp” Exposure and How to Fight It (https://loisllc.com/webinar/the-concept-of-extra-comp-exposure-and-how-to-fight-it/)," Christopher Major dives into how we can avoid significant “back-end” exposure for workers’ compensation benefits outside of the workers’ compensation claim itself.
