J&L Expert Work Comp Consultant Review Claims Services

J&L Expert Work Comp Consultant Review Claims Services

Utilizing the loss runs, we advise conducting monthly claims reviews. Any review is enhanced by online access. Without holding an official claims meeting, the employer can examine their claims.

An insured employer can review their claims online whenever they want to evaluate them.

Knowing which claims to pick and which to leave alone when doing a claims review is one caveat. Bringing up specific claims can damage reserves.

More of an art form than a mundane operation, setting reserves levels can be. Over the years, we have reviewed numerous analytics software packages. Nobody can predictably determine the size of the reserves.


A workers' compensation claim has too many variables for analytics to be effective. An workers claim can affect a company and it's asset that's why you need an work comp consultant for your company to save your valuable money.

Each person's medical recovery time is unique. Every injured worker heals differently. An experienced adjuster with acute vision is needed for the healing time assessment.

An experienced adjuster typically has a minimum of 5 to 7 years of claims adjusting experience.

Due to the nature of their work, adjusters are frequently overworked. Adjusters are responsible for 13 responsibilities. Any support provided by an employer to an adjuster typically results in a decrease in the claims reserve level.

Reviewing claims is not a simple task. When the employer takes the time to show interest in their claims, it might help to reduce worker's compensation expenditures.

Included in J&L's claim review services are:

  1. Analysis of claims and losses
  2. Reserve evaluation
  3. Choosing which claims to contact the adjuster about is based on their performance analysis of how they handled the file.
  4. Analysis of LDF for self-insureds

Our claims evaluation services take into account the fact that we have previously held the position of adjuster. It is always taken into account by our review services. Most of our rivals do not take "the seat" into account.

Make sure you start with a current loss run if your firm decides to do the evaluation itself.

Expert witness | J&L Risk Management Consultant Inc.

Our company's founder James J. Moore is still regarded as one of the top workers' compensation specialists nationwide. His work as an expert witness also covers liability and health insurance, including three significant class action lawsuits.

He has testified in instances involving premium audit, ratings, workers comp consultant Experience Modification Factors, and claims management. He has received several requests from attorneys, carriers, and employers for expert witness reports.

James recently gave a presentation on the topic of selecting sources to use in an expert witness practice at the AAIMCO annual conference.

In one of the biggest class-action lawsuits in the Southeast of the US in 2013, James provided his opinion.

Numerous instances involving the Federal Court were included in his expert witness work. His statements and reports have never been withheld from the record.

It is challenging to testify as an expert witness. One of the most personal topics for opinion is still worker's compensation. Each state sets forth its own regulations.

The guidelines for rating a corporation are substantially different between the Worker's Compensation Insurance Rating Bureau (WCIRB) in California and the National Council on Compensation Insurance. Maintaining all of these has proven to be a challenging but rewarding task.

In order to completely statistically evaluate the data and produce reports that encompassed the various data sets, James had to develop ground-breaking algorithms to measure some of the data he received.

He has had to read more than 30,000 pages of medical literature for some patients. Additionally, he produced a report with more than 15,000 Excel rows for a significant premium dispute case.

James' knowledge in actuarial, claims, IT, premium audit, and liability has improved his capacity to provide expert witness testimony that covers a wide range of aspects of the entire insurance sector.

James has authored more than 40 Form 26 reports, several of which have been accepted by federal judges and the courts.
