Closing the Nightmare Claim: Practical Approaches for Ending the Most Difficult Workers’ Compensation Cases

Richard W. Lenkov

Abstract

This chapter reviews the proverbial “nightmare claim,” that is claims that are problematic because they are old, complex, or perhaps involve difficult claimants, judges or attorneys. Thankfully there are ways in which to successfully manage such cases. Various closing strategies, medical strategies and legal strategies will be presented along with some key investigation steps to take from the first notice of a workers’ compensation claim. The author concludes with methods in which to manage expenses and settlement tactics as well.
