Podcast appearances and mentions of Alan S Pierce

Guest Bogdan Savych, a senior policy analyst at the Workers' Compensation Research Institute (WCRI), discusses his new paper, written with David Neumark, entitled “Impact of Attorney Representation on Workers' Compensation Payments.” WCRI studied the impact of attorney representation when it comes to indemnity payments (income replacement benefits) for injured workers in what, on its face, is supposed to be a straightforward Workers' Compensation system. What impact, statistically, does having an attorney represent an injured worker have on payments?  Not surprisingly, Savych's research found that for workers, having an attorney represent them in their claims can result in higher payments, but there is still work to be done. And, as host Alan S. Pierce notes, it's even possible involving an attorney can save the Workers' Comp insurance company money by identifying other parties who are liable for the injury through negligence. But then, what about attorney fees? There are myriad factors to consider, and, as we know, every state is different.  If you're an attorney who represents injured workers in Workers' Compensation claims, or you're otherwise connected to the world of Workers' Comp, consider joining WCRI as a member.   If you have thoughts on Workers' Comp law or an idea for a topic or guest you'd like to hear, contact us at JPierce@ppnlaw.com.  Mentioned in This Episode: “Impact of Attorney Representation on Workers' Compensation Payments,” by Bogdan Savych and David Neumark Free Report: “WCRI Medical Price Index for Workers' Compensation, 16th Edition (MPI-WC)” by Workers' Compensation Research Institute Previously on Workers Comp Matters, “The Attorney's Role in Workers Compensation”

How has this system evolved over time and in what ways might it change in the future? In this episode of Workers Comp Matters, guest host Judson Pierce speaks with Workers Injury Law & Advocacy Group President Alan Pierce about the future of the American workers’ compensation system.

He reflects on the 1911 enactment of state-based workers’ compensation systems and lists the safety-focused goals of the institution. Alan analyzes the federal government's 1970s involvement in the system, mainly through the establishment of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and the national commission report issued in 1972 that broadened and increased benefit coverage. He explains how costs associated with the system eventually increased as benefits expanded and how this led to system reform in many states.
