Companies Sue To Recover Funds From Worker’s Compensation Carriers

PR Newswire Association LLC

BOSTON, Oct. 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

INTRODUCTION

Thornton Law Firm announces it has filed several class action cases on behalf of companies who have been cheated by their own workers compensation insurers. The lawsuits arise from a deceptive practice Thornton Law Firm has been closely monitoring. All too often, after paying on a claim insurers recover money from another source, but then fail to adjust the workers compensation rates that determine the employer's premiums. This is not only against the laws and regulations insurers must follow, but it costs employers in America many millions of dollars every year. Although this practice affects all types of employers, it has a particularly strong impact on small to medium sized businesses.

BACKGROUND

Attorney David J. McMorris, who leads the Thornton Law Firm Insurance Fraud Recovery Group, stated:

“We have found that insurers are very efficient when calculating premium increases after an accident, and equally inefficient when reporting recoveries which should roll back those increases. This creates unnecessary and unfair costs on employers, and often impairs their ability to pursue new business.”

CONTACT

Any business that has experienced workers compensation losses and is interested in lowering their workers compensation premiums can contact Thornton Law Firm. An investigation can be conducted, at no cost to the business, over the phone or via email. We are already pursuing litigation against insurers AIG and CNA. You can contact our Boston insurance fraud lawyers David McMorris[email protected] or Christian Uehlein[email protected] or by calling us at our toll-free number 1-888-491-9726 to learn more about our workers compensation insurance reviews.

Located in Boston, Massachusetts, Thornton Law Firm, LLP was founded in 1978 by Michael P. Thornton. Among its many practice areas, the firm represents plaintiffs, both individuals and businesses, who have been defrauded by corporations, insurers, financial services firms, manufacturers, and other groups. Today Thornton Law Firm is the largest plaintiff law firm in New England. For more information, call 1-888-491-9726 or visit Thornton Law Firm online.
