Workers’ Compensation & Employers’ Liability

Workers’ compensation is a form of insurance that provides wages and medical support to employees injured on the job in exchange for that employee’s relinquishment of his or her right to sue the employer for tort negligence. Employers’ liability refers to employers being held liable for accidents that occur on the job or arise as a result of the employment.

Areas of Service

  • Defense and litigation of claims
    • Delaware, DC, Maryland and Virginia
  • Longshore cases in the Federal system
  • Development of light duty programs
  • Compliance with federal employment laws

Firm Qualifications

Franklin & Prokopik’s workers’ compensation practice group is a leader in the effective defense and litigation of claims. We believe in a multi-faceted approach which utilizes the employer, insurer and adjuster to ensure a positive outcome. Our practice group regularly works with self-insureds, high-retention employers as well as first-dollar insurers and we understand the importance of communication to provide cost-effective services. Our staffed satellite offices allow us to serve our clients efficiently and without unnecessary litigation expenses.
