Workers' compensation is a specialized practice area and requires attorneys who are both knowledgeable and experienced in the evaluation and defense of this type of claim. Whiteford, Taylor & Preston represents the interests of insurers and their insureds in the handling of both state and federal workers' compensation claims as well as federal longshore harbor workers' compensation claims. Because many claims can be prevented or reduced through the education of employers, we often assist in providing seminars or workshops to insurers, insureds and self-insured entities to address the proper and efficient handling of employees' workers' compensation claims.
