Workers’ Compensation

Although a distinct practice area, the Workers’ Compensation group of Wegman, Hessler & Vanderburg is managed as part of our Labor and Employment group. By maintaining a core staff of attorneys and staff committed to the effective handling of Workers’ Compensation matters, we are able to provide high quality and cost effective Workers’ Compensation representation.

The firm’s attorneys regularly handle Workers’ Compensation matters at all administrative levels as well as before trial courts, and if necessary, at the appellate level. The firm’s attorneys also advise and represent clients on Workers’ Compensation reform, insurance related concerns and overall administration of their Workers’ Compensation programs, including regulatory compliance, safety and loss avoidance.

The Workers’ Compensation group’s close cooperation with our Labor and Employment Group provides our clients with a distinct advantage given the substantial interplay between Workers’ Compensation claims and a variety of employment regulations. For example, the termination of an employee subsequent to a Workers’ Compensation claim may result in a retaliatory discharge claim or other unwanted consequences if the issues are not properly analyzed and appropriate advice rendered.

The firm’s Workers’ Compensation clients are a diverse group. They represent a broad geographical area and many sections of the economy, including manufacturing, transportation, distribution, retail sales and services.
