Workers' Compensation
Andrews and Beard represents only employers, their insurance carriers and third party administrators in Workers' Compensation defense. We take an aggressive, thorough approach to handling workers' compensation claims. Our expertise includes all aspects of Workers' Compensation defense from prevention of Workers' Compensation claims to the successful termination of ongoing compensation benefits. Our Workers' Compensation practice includes the defense of Workers' Compensation claims, insurance coverage questions, and representation at Administrative and Judicial levels.
The prevention of unwarranted claims is a priority for us and our clients, and we use a variety of methods to accomplish this goal. Once an employee receives Workers' Compensation benefits, we work closely with the employer to return the individual back to the work force as quickly as possible. If fraud is suspected, we can coordinate surveillance efforts.
We have defended Workers' Compensation claims throughout Pennsylvania. We know the Workers' Compensation judges and can often identify expert witnesses and physicians to present for a greater likelihood of success with each judge. We represent insurance companies, self-insured employers, and third-party administrators throughout the state.
