Today’s issue of WorkCompRecap features CWCI’s announcement that it will conduct its 25th annual California Workers’ Compensation Case Law Update as both an in-person event and as a live, online broadcast on Tuesday, May 23.
The program will examine how recent trends in decisional law are reshaping California workers’ compensation and discuss negotiation and defense strategies for attorneys, claims personnel, and hearing reps. Panelists will provide practical insights from both sides of the courtroom on how to use case law to effectively manage, negotiate, and defend claims, and what to expect from opposing counsel. In addition to providing updates on recent rulings, the speakers will identify issues related to recent statutory and regulatory changes, examine old case law to see what still applies, and offer workers’ compensation professionals a fresh look at the impact of case law.
