We recognize the value to our clients of maximizing all avenues of subrogation. Our attorneys are trained in identifying subrogation potential throughout the handling of all matters and are required to review the claim with regard to potential subrogation opportunities to ensure that our clients can take advantage of those opportunities.
Our Subrogation Services
Our firm offers subrogation services pursuant to Section 29 of the New York State Workers’ Compensation Law with regard to the resolution of workers’ compensation liens in conjunction with the settlement of third-party cause of action. We analyze and identify the subrogation potentials, taking into account the statutory reductions required pursuant to Section 29 of the Workers’ Compensation Law, and analyzing the applicability of additional reductions required by the applicable case law, including the Court of Appeals Decisions in Kelly, Burns, and Bissell.
In addition to third-party subrogation, our office also handles Personal Injury Protection (PIP) Subrogation pursuant to section 5105 of the New York State Insurance Law (loss transfer).
