Workers Compensation Training on Open Claims A Different Viewpoint

July 7, 2009 By //  by Attorney Theodore Ronca Leave a Comment

It’s been discovered of all services seen involving modifying behavior to process workers’ compensation claims efficiently, thus reducing costs, take place weeks, months and years AFTER the claim is under way as well as when an attorney is in the picture.

 

Without a doubt, this method is the most expensive and carries a low probability of actually achieving real change.

 

What is needed (and, surprise, currently under development) is a short-term, low cost service designed to train personnel of mid-sized employers on locating and reporting information of use to workers compensation, UI and discrimination claims. That is, train and support people on the spot to see to it the claim is immediately put on the right path, with the flexibility to add, subtract and modify as needed.

 

An Analogy:

 

If a person has the risk of falling off a pier into water you can:

 

  1. Train themto tread water and swim to the ladder in two minutes, OR
    2. Arrange for a rescue helicopter based 20 miles away to receive an alert from someone, assemble a team of rescue swimmers and paramedics and fly a medical rescue mission to the area. (workersxzcompxzkit)

 

Which is more effective? Which costs less? Which actually results in the swimmer being saved?
