Navigating Workers Compensation Insurance Program Disputes

With increasingly regularity, insurance companies seem to be pursuing policyholders to recover retrospective premiums under old workers compensation programs. In some instances, insurance companies have attempted to open long-closed policy years and adjustment periods in an attempt to obtain payment from a policyholder.

Policyholders facing such situations may find themselves looking through their files to find the many documents that make up the insurance program, and then to untangle the maze of dispute resolution, payment, program, side and other agreements that may govern the relationship between the policyholder and insurance company.
