The Employers Secret to Workers Comp Defense: Attorney Ted Ronca Tribute

July 21, 2016 By //  by Attorney Theodore Ronca Leave a Comment

We recently learned some sad news that one of our long-time contributors to Workers’ Comp Roundup, Attorney Ted Ronca, has passed away due to health complications. Ted was a wealth of knowledge in representing employers in workers’ compensation and a frequently used legal resource for questions and clarification by our primary blog writers, Michael Stack and Rebecca Shafer.

 

We pay a tribute to him with a compilation of some of this extensive writings. Because his library of articles is so large, and the information so valuable, we have broken it into 3 parts. Employers are recommended to use this information as a reference for workers’ compensation defense best practices.

 

Part 3 of 3:

 

Little Used Federal Laws Give Employer Disability Management Control

Employers interact with employee disability through a number of laws. Until now, there has been little attention focused on how to coordinate statutory compliance to achieve better overall results. Workers compensation, in particular, has operated with little or no coordination with other laws.

 

Three Critical Times Employers Should Seek Workers Compensation Advice

Work comp is a real time problem in progress. If you’re an employer, chances are you could use some, or much, advice. But advice often comes with an expiration date and, if not taken, will spoil faster than an open container of milk on July 4th weekend.

 

Employers Can Spot A Claim Months Before It Occurs

A witnessed, sudden, accident presents far fewer problems than a claim without a witness. Yet, many un-witnessed claims are quite real, stemming from long term degenerative conditions. Many of these claims are filed and flagged as highly suspicious.

 

3 Types of Medical Exams Employers Have Not Heard Of

Employers who are willing to make better use of claim tools already in existence around them can achieve precisely what they have been hoping, in vain, that their carriers will do for them. The tools are: Occupational Health and Safety Administration(OSHA) physical exam, Department of Transportation (DOT) medical exam, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) medical exams

 

The Employers Secret to Workers Comp Defense Lies in these Three Quotes

Three quotations are all an employer needs to understand handling difficult comp claims. Two are actual quotes, but the third – and best – was made up and appeared in a 1917 newspaper story.

 

Author: Attorney Theodore Ronca was a lawyer from Aquebogue, NY. He was a frequent writer and speaker, and represented employers in the areas of workers’ compensation, Social Security disability, employee disability plans and subrogation for over 30 years.
