Where can you go wrong legally? As employers, you are facing an unprecedented crisis that has shaken everything we know about Human Resources and Workers’ Compensation. While we may be shaken, we must also be mindful of the shifts occurring in the delivery of Workers’ Compensation benefits to injured employees.
This webinar harnesses the view from both the Defense and Plaintiff Workers’ Compensation and HR Bar. We are honored to join with the College of Workers’ Compensation Law to bring you five top attorneys on both sides of the aisle to discuss the legal ramification on Workers’ Compensation during and post-COVID19. We also added Gina Jacobs, Esq. with Cole Scott Kissane, to give us the view from Florida.
We will discuss everything from compensability, causation, work-related COVID19 injuries, the continuation of legal filings, Legal pitfalls, HR, and state-specific rules.
Our key questions:
• As employers, are you waiting to be sued? Are you making decisions about compensability or denying claims that will affect your long-term legal exposure?
• What is the intersection between HR and workers’ compensation during COVID19?
• How are COVID19 cases handled in different states?
• What should you know about your state laws that you may not know today?
• What is compensable? What do you do to address causation? What should be investigated? What happens to HIPPA? What is discoverable?
