Defense attorney expenses were double that of injured worker attorney fees and “the $3.5 billion of [litigation] costs paid in 2017 exceeds the cost of paid indemnity benefits (after excluding [injured workers'] attorney fees which are typically reported in indemnity benefits).” Compared to 2016, attorney fees and expenses increased 4.8% in 2017 and seized a larger portion of total litigation expenses for California's workers' compensation claims.In his message to the workers’ compensation community in April 2019, the President and CEO of the WCIRB, Bill Mudge, stated “[California's] costs for claims handling and [litigation] are the highest across all states’ workers’ compensation systems, are greater today than the annual cost of paid indemnity benefits to injured workers and, in total, are more than double the cost to provide a dollar of benefits compared with the median state workers’ compensation system in the United States.”Contact Us at (800) 541-9275For a Free ConsultationMake an AppointmentCall To Action"Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. Point out to them how the nominal winner is often a real loser — in fees, expenses, and waste of time. As a peacemaker the lawyer has a superior opportunity of being a good man.
