Often, we hear business owners expressing a strong interest in seeing what our team at Samuel Hale can do to reduce the burdens imposed by our state’s workers’ compensation system.
Generally, many of our potential clients hear about our services from our current valued clients or a story in the news media. They want to know more about how we can roll back some of the worst aspects of dealing with California workers’ compensation problems.
For your convenience, we have listed a few commonly asked questions about the California Employer Services And Programs and what Samuel Hale can do to help regarding any problem.
What Do You Mean By “Claimitis?”
Too many businesses know first hand about serious attacks of “claimitis.” Claimitis occurs when employees seek to take unfair advantage of both their employer and the system. It directly results in increased instances of fraud and abuse.
Claimitis features a number of red flags, including, but not limited to:
- Claims made post-firing
- Instances of cumulative trauma
- Claims for multiple body parts
- Appeals filed
Claimitis has helped to make California’s workers’ compensation system the most burdensome in America. Fortunately, Samuel Hale has a cure.
Is California’s Workers’ Compensation System Truly Broken?
California’s $20 billion per year workers’ compensation system is the costliest in America and shows no signs of improvement. According to the Sacramento Bee, even periodic reforms are driven by the desires of special interests instead of the needs of both employers and workers.
Today the average claim for those not participating in special programs, such as the ones offered by Samuel Hale, can take two years to process. Workers with legitimate injuries have to wait longer for resolution. Employers have to pay more in legal fees and the opportunity cost of time wasted.
At Samuel Hale, we know that there is a better way than claimitis and a broken bureaucratic system.
What Is the Patriot System?
The Patriot System provides for an expedited process of handling workers’ comp claims. Injured workers can receive medical attention in a more timely fashion. Employers receive additional protections against false claims that can result in fraud. The entire process costs less.
Samuel Hale can help your business get better protection and results through the Patriot System.
