What if workers’ compensation claims could be resolved faster, at a lower cost and with better outcomes for everyone involved?
The use of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is increasing as employers and carriers look for more efficient ways to resolve workers’ compensation disputes outside traditional litigation. At Jones Jones, we’ve seen completed ADR projects come in roughly 50% below carriers’ projected costs under the traditional workers’ comp process.
In a new article for Claims Journal, Managing Partner Sarah Thomas explores the growing role of ADR in workers’ compensation, common mistakes that can undermine its benefits and what carriers should look for in experienced ADR counsel.
As employers and insurers increasingly adopt AI, its role in workers’ compensation is expanding beyond claims management to include workplace safety, injury prevention and even new considerations around employee well-being.
In a new article for Insurance Thought Leadership, Jones Jones Managing Partner Sarah Thomas examines these emerging trends and shares insights on how employers, insurers and legal professionals can navigate the changing landscape while keeping human judgment at the center of their strategies.
We’re excited to share that Jones Jones LLC partner Stacee Vaikness will be speaking at the New York State Bar Association’s inaugural Workers’ Compensation Seminar, Nov. 4-5 in Albany, NY.
Stacee will discuss key considerations in workers’ compensation settlements, including Medicare set-asides, annuities, reversionary clauses, resignations and claim valuation, offering perspectives from both sides of the table.
We look forward to a great event and meaningful discussions with fellow workers’ compensation professionals!
