The Bollinger Law Firm, P.C. SuperLawyers Profile shares more insight into the law firm’s record.
Insurance adjusters are apt to deny claims on the flimsiest of grounds. It takes a dogged, skilled lawyer to argue a client’s case based on facts and the regulations governing worker’s compensation insurance.
The Bollinger Law Firm, P.C. approaches a case on its merits and whether the claim was initially accepted or denied. Employers often nudge injured employees to get the claim settled through their personal insurance providers. This, too, is not easily accomplished. The services of a law firm that prioritizes a worker’s interests can lead to a quick and fair claims settlement.
The Bollinger Law Firm, P.C. said, “Workers’ compensation has a no-fault legal structure. Someone’s negligence or fault, including that of the injured worker, does not matter in a workers’ compensation case. The exception is if the injured worker is injured due to his intoxication.
If someone is injured by the negligence of an outside party or third party, the injured worker has both a workers’ compensation claim to pursue and a third-party claim against the negligent party. That third-party case would be handled in civil court. Generally speaking, the negligence of someone who causes an injury is a tort.
The workers' compensation insurance carrier has a reimbursement or subrogation lien against the recovery one gets from the third-party tort case against the negligent person or entity. We have experience negotiating a reduction in that reimbursement claim or getting it eliminated in Superior Court. You might get more money from the third-party case than the workers' compensation case, so it is worth pursuing.
In addition, the workers’ compensation lien can be reduced or eliminated under North Carolina law through negotiation or by going to Superior Court and requesting that the lien be reduced or eliminated. These two factors together mean that a third-party case is worth pursuing if you have been injured at work and an outside person or entity negligence was the cause of your injury.”
