Spring cleaning isn’t just for closets.
For many of our clients, it’s also the perfect time to take a fresh look at open workers’ compensation files and see if any can be closed. As everyone on the Employer and Carrier side knows, the best workers’ compensation file is a closed one! One strategy that we have been successfully implementing for our clients for decades that is especially effective for a spring cleanout is scheduling mass mediation or settlement days.
We have helped carriers and self-insured employers close a meaningful number of cases in a single, focused session. This is especially effective in reducing exposure, tightening reserves, and clearing space for what’s next.
If you have a group of files that could benefit from a coordinated push toward resolution, a settlement day might be worth adding to your spring checklist.
We would be happy to meet with you to discuss what cases are best suited for this approach. Reach out to Lisa Lane if you are interested in cleaning up your claims desk.
