Workers’ Recovery is a Return to Life!

After an injury, getting the injured worker back to work should be a primary goal of everyone involved in the system. Some have taken that responsibility seriously and have made genuine efforts to create the paradigm shift that is required to achieve that goal. Adjusters are being called “Recovery Specialists” in some instances; the workers’ compensation claim department is called the “Recovery Department” in others. That decision to reimagine the primary focus of the claims process in workers’ compensation claims is making a real difference.

This illustrious panel is comprised of a return-to-work specialist, an employer, a doctor, and a claimant’s attorney. Collectively they will address the challenges of focusing on return to work, successes they have encountered, industries where the greatest success has been achieved, tools for streamlining the focus, and ongoing challenges of providing options for the very seriously disabled.

Panel:
Natalie Torres, Moderator, Senior Director of Client Solutions, WorkFinders USA
David Gandy, MD, Orthopedic Surgeon, Medical Legal Consulting, LLC
Lori Graham, JD, Director of Claims, Ergon, Inc.
Christopher Neyland, JD, Attorney, Morgan and Morgan
