Clarifying Future Medical Exposure & Strengthening Settlement Outcomes In Workers’ Compensation Cases
The Problem: Future Medical Costs Are Often The Biggest Settlement Obstacle
- Incomplete, overstated our out-of-context medical projections derail negotiations
- Medicare compliance risk continues to increase
- Carrier and Injured Worker projections rarely align
- An MSA protects Medicare but is not designed to consider all medical benefits that may apply
- Attorneys understand the legal issues, but are forced to negotiate medical exposure without fully defensible numbers
The result: lost leverage, delayed resolution, and unnecessary risk
