Litigation & Settlements

When facing a workers’ compensation claim, the role of the employer is often underestimated. However, employers can play a pivotal role in helping insurance companies and defense attorneys build a stronger case—saving both time and money. Involving employers early in the litigation process ensures that key evidence is preserved, communication is streamlined, and the right defense strategy is crafted from the start.

In the realm of workers’ compensation defense, many employers instinctively aim for a “take nothing” outcome—seeking to prove the claim has no merit and have the case dismissed entirely. However, while this approach may seem appealing, it often comes at a steep financial and emotional cost. A strategic, early exit through settlement can, in many cases, limit exposure and save significant resources. At Lozano Law Inc., we understand that each case requires a tailored approach—sometimes an aggressive defense is warranted, while other times an early settlement for nuisance value makes better business sense.
