Our workers’ compensation clients include a broad spectrum of self-insured employers, insurance carriers and third party claim administrators throughout the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

* Appellate practice, including research and incorporation of national trends and decisions, brief writing and oral arguments before the Kentucky Court of Appeals and Supreme Court of Kentucky (resulting in multiple published opinions);

* Handling of subrogation claims, including complex, multi-party civil litigation, settlement negotiations, coordination and apportionment of benefits and jury trial experience in both state and federal court;

* Having served as special advisor and consultant to the Department of Workers’ Claims and assisting with the drafting of legislative and administrative regulations;

* Acting as special and general counsel handling governmental and administrative relations, including the coordination of lobbying activities before the Kentucky General Assembly and the Labor and Industry Committee;

In an effort to keep ourselves and our clients current with changes and to remain in the forefront of future developments, we regularly serve as seminar moderators and speakers, lecturing locally and nationally. We have researched and published numerous texts and articles; provide legislative and case law “updates” to our clients; and teach a course in Kentucky Workers’ Compensation Law. We are committed to keeping abreast of the workers’ compensation law and trends, both locally and nationally. We believe this is vital, given the ever-changing workers’ compensation law and rising costs associated therewith.
