Providing Representation for Self-Insured Employers

Gallivan White Boyd has developed extensive experience and skills in the handling of all matters in all phases of workers’ compensation litigation for self-insured employers. Workers’ compensation claims handled in-house by employers or through third-party administrators can provide significant economic and logistical benefits. Self-insuring or self-funding employers have the ability to control the defense of a workers’ compensation claim, safeguard against negative organization culture impacts, and meet financial goals.

We work with the client to map out a strategy for each matter at hand. The first step in that process is understanding how the client’s business functions. It is critical to identify the current needs of the business as well as its future business goals. Then, we determine how each individual claim and its possible solutions will affect the client’s overall business. The team works diligently to systematically and strategically offer self-insured employers the most cost-effective approach in handling claims.
