Legal Services
Morrow & Morrow’s objective is to provide legal representation to fully protect
the economic and legal interests of employers with respect to injury claims filed
under the workers’ compensation laws of California. To meet this objective, Morrow
& Morrow provides the following legal services:
- We defend all aspects of workers’
compensation claims at all Workers’ Compensation Appeals Boards throughout California.
We either proceed to trial without delay or effectuate a comprehensive settlement
structure, with corresponding settlement documents as permitted by California law,
to resolve and terminate all issues of potential employer liability. We also attend
claim review meetings to assist the employer in bringing cases to a complete conclusion
and/or assist in proper case conclusion efforts.
Ancillary issues that may arise in connection with a California work-related injury
claim include: potential liability under the Medicare Secondary Payer Act, wrongful
termination claims, ADA/FEHA claims and employee benefits.
- Based upon California case law under
Labor Code §3755, many California workers’ compensation firms take the position
that there is no attorney-client relationship between the insured employer and the
insurer-appointed attorney. 109 Cal. App. 4th 1219 (2003). For the purpose of protecting
the attorney-client privilege status, particularly in those situations where there
is potential employer liability outside exclusive workers’ compensation jurisdiction,
we acknowledge the existence of an attorney-client relationship with the employer.
- Upon request, Thomas Morrow conducts seminars and training for
employers wishing to better understand the current workers’ compensation climate,
including the potential impact of new or proposed legislation and case law.
