WORKERS' COMPENSATION SUBROGATION

NLdH’s Workers’ Compensation Subrogation group is made up of attorneys who practice exclusively in the area of Workers’ Compensation Subrogation. NLdH clients have come to rely on the specialized knowledge of this group, relating not only to a carrier’s right to Workers’ Compensation Subrogation across the 50 States, but also relating to the department’s specialized knowledge in worksite safety and safety engineering. This specialized knowledge has allowed our clients to significantly increase their workers’ compensation recoveries. 

The firm's attorneys proactively get involved immediately after significant workplace accidents. NLdH investigates the occurrence with an eye to recovery immediately after the loss, arranging for the retention of specialized experts and conducting on-site investigations where appropriate to ensure that the evidence necessary to secure recovery is properly preserved. These quick response efforts have resulted in significant gains for clients that would otherwise have been lost or unidentified.
