Worker’s Compensation Lawyers for Employers
At the law offices of Montgomery Barnett, we represent and counsel employers and their insurers with regard to a variety of state and federal workers compensation claims, nationally and internationally. We are routinely retained by shipyards, marine contractors, stevedores, offshore oil and gas interests, defense contractors, and their insurers, to defend claims arising under:
- Defense Base Act
- War Hazards Act
- Outer-Continental Shelf Lands Act
- Non-Appropriated Funds Instrumentalities Act
- Longshore and Harbor Workers Compensation Act
- Louisiana Workers Compensation Act
In addition to defending claims, we are also frequently asked by our clients to intervene in third party actions to recover benefits paid to employees under these statutes. We strive to effectively and efficiently represent our clients’ interests to resolve disputes at the earliest stage possible including the use of mediation. Our attorneys have handled claims under these statutes at every level of disposition, including: Office of Workers Compensation Programs, Office of Administrative Law Judges, Benefits Review Board, the US Circuit Courts of Appeal and the Supreme Court.
Our attorneys draw upon their extensive experience in advising clients on techniques to reduce the incidence of claims through the implementation of employment practices, claims procedures, and administrative compliance.
