Delayed reporting and slow initial action can turn a manageable injury into a costly, contentious workers’ compensation claim. This session will discuss common reasons for delay and the repercussions of those actions/inactions, such as increased medical costs, indemnity exposure, and litigation risk, which complicate and prolong the return-to-work process.

Attendee Takeaways:

  1. Understand the common causes of delay in claims processing and medical treatment
  2. Itemize the costs associated with delayed recovery and return-to-work
  3. Describe watershed moments that can reveal themselves when earlier intervention is required
  4. Identify communication tools and potential workflow adjustments to de-escalate tensions
