Workers Compensation Defense
Our attorney aggressively litigates injury claims through all aspects of workers' compensation defense. We represent employers, third party claims administrators and their insurance companies.
I have several years of experience in defending all types of injuries through every stage of litigation. Our attorney has extensive experience dealing with all types of issues including but not limited to AOE/COE disputes, nature and extent of injury, MPN issues, and medical treatment disputes.
We have also have experience litigating California Labor Code 132a claims and Serious and Willful Misconduct issues under Labor Code 4553.
Post-Termination Claims
Claims that are filed subsequent to the proper and good faith termination of an employee by the employer are among the most frustrating claims for clients because they are often filed in retaliation against legitimate personnel action. The laws are often interpreted to apply various exceptions to the rule barring claims filed after termination, especially when the claimed injury is a cumulative trauma injury. Our attorney has a comprehensive understanding of post-termination claims and we really know how to deal with these exceptions on a case-by-case basis.
California Insurance Guarantee Association (CIGA)
Courts have interpreted Insurance Code Section 1063.1(c) to allow CIGA to avoid assuming responsibility where there is any other solvent insurance available. Cases dealing with CIGA can be extremely frustrating for insurance carriers and involve very complex issues. Our attorney has experience litigating complex general-special employer, successive injuries involving the same or similar body parts (as in Weitzman), and continuous trauma versus specific injury cases. Our attorney has been successful at Trial even after Reconsideration against CIGA resulting in avoidance of all liability, and successful defense up to The Court of Appeal of the State of California, Second Appellate District.
Complex Medical Conditions
Mr. Shabrami has defended complex cases involving Legionnaire’s disease, Guillain-Barre Syndrome, insidious/genetic orthopedic and psychiatric conditions which claimants allege to be caused by their employment. He will go the extra step to educate himself in these types of matters so that he can level the playing field. Success in these cases often depends on asking the right questions from the applicant and the medical experts from the beginning.
