Matthew Necci and Claudia Heyman, partners in the Workers’ Compensation practice group, recently presented at the ALFA International 2018 Workers’ Compensation Seminar in Paradise Valley, Arizona.
Matt was a panelist in the Breakout Session, How to Facilitate and Improve Communications Between Self-Insured Employers, Third-Party Administrators and Defense Counsel. The panel discussed the importance of open communication between all parties involved in claims handling, both before and during litigation, in order to obtain the best outcome. It also provided strategies on how the parties can collaborate in their efforts for successful communication.
Claudia served as a moderator for the Roundtable Discussion, Strategies for Dealing with Catastrophic Claims. The discussion focused on how to handle catastrophic workers’ compensation injuries with compassion, while at the same time keeping costs under control. The key: act quickly and get ahead of the claim before it gets ahead of you.
