Florida Workers’ Comp Defense Lawyers for Self-Insured Companies

Ft. Lauderdale, Miami, Hollywood, Boca Raton, West Palm Beach, Orlando and Tampa

For employers who do not carry workers’ compensation insurance, the process of defending against an employee claim can be significantly more complex and costly. That’s where we come in.

Self-insured companies often have a different set of worker’s compensation issues
Because we place great focus on the representation of self-insured employers, we are especially adept at the protection of the legal rights of these clients. We work directly with company representatives and claims department personnel, enabling us to aggressively defend our clients' interests, regardless of the company’s litigation guidelines, goals and bottom-line. Further, we file all of the necessary paperwork so that the client can focus on their day-to-day business.

Third Party Administrators
We also have extensive experience working closely with third party administrators (TPAs). We understand that TPAs have many objectives, including keeping their clients happy and involved in the process. We work closely with TPAs and are flexible in meeting their goals. We communicate regularly and do everything possible to protect the reputation of the TPA and self-insured employer.

How we are different
For over 30 years, we have defended self-insureds, working directly with the self-insured company or the TPA. We understand that the goals of a self-insured employer or third party administrator are different than those of a company who has a workers’ comp insurance carrier.

We also understand self-insureds want to protect their employees who are actually injured on the job. However, if the injury is not a result of their work, the company should not have to pay the price. We will investigate the accident and negotiate an appropriate settlement or aggressively defend our client in court.
