Few areas of law change so quickly or affect employers and insurers as much as workers’ compensation. With the rising cost of doing business, it is imperative that our clients have years of experience on their side. Pollart Miller LLC’s attorneys have extensive experience representing employers and insurers in all facets of the workers’ compensation system.
Effective defense of workers’ compensation claims requires a commitment to being up to date on this frequently shifting area of law. We review the latest changes affecting our clients, and we are experts both in and out of the courtroom. Our attorneys include a former judge and attorneys who have authored workers’ compensation legislation and whose published opinions have shaped the law. We have decades of experience representing a broad spectrum of clients, including those in the airline, grocery, retail, manufacturing, transportation, health care, and entertainment industries.
We stress an aggressive approach to defending claims and to claim prevention. We partner with our clients to establish protocols that necessarily reduce the prospect of claims occurring and that reduce expenses if the claim becomes subject to litigation. The experts in our workers’ compensation department provide comprehensive services to our clients.
