The JDSupra Business Advisor released an article highlighting the legal theories our attorneys’ designed to hold both a worker’s compensation insurer and its Third Party Administrator (“TPA”) liable for improper claims processions actions. In growing fashion, insurance companies “outsource” claims processing to TPAs in order to underwrite risks but still benefit from a TPA’s profit-driven tactics. In turn, the TPA escapes liability because it  doesn’t enter into a contractual agreement within the policyholder; but times are changing.

Doyle Dennis Avery LLP has filed lawsuit against Lowe’s Home Centers (“Lowe’s”), New Hampshire Insurance (“New Hampshire”), and Sedgwick Claims (“Sedgwick”) for violations of the Arizona Workers’ Compensation Act, duties of good faith and fair dealing, and wrongful termination from the workplace.

Doyle Dennis Avery LLP has filed suit against BL Technology, Inc., (“BL Technology”) for wrongfully terminating Plaintiff in response to his filing for compensation benefits following an at-work injury.

A federal judge recently remanded Plaintiff’s case for retaliatory termination and workers compensation bad faith to Arizona State Court as the Federal Court lacked subject matter jurisdiction. Specifically, U.S.C. § 1445(c) provides; “A civil action in any State court arising under the workmen’s compensation laws of such State may not be removed to any district court of the United States.”

Doyle Dennis Avery LLP has filed suit against Intergulf Corporation (“Intergulf”) for its retaliatory actions against Plaintiff following his filing of a workers’ compensation claim for medical and wage compensation benefits.
