Workers’ Compensation

Blackburn & Stoll has the largest workers’ compensation practice group of any law firm in Utah, with six attorneys handling workers’ compensation cases before the Utah Labor Commission. Collectively, these attorneys have over 100 years of experience. Blackburn & Stoll currently represents the largest number of private workers’ compensation insurance clients and third party administrators of any law firm in the state, handling primarily defense cases.

Our attorneys work closely with paralegals and litigation staff assistants having similar extensive knowledge in this practice area. Our litigation staff routinely handles scheduling of workers’ compensation depositions, collection of medical records, scheduling of medical and other evaluations, and assists in communication with claims adjusters.

Our firm strives to serve our workers’ compensation clients by providing expedited correspondence through email, and client evaluations by the most technologically and cost-effective means possible. Moreover, the workers’ compensation defense attorneys regularly attend the Utah Labor Commission’s monthly attorney meetings and the Commission’s yearly compensability seminar. Blackburn & Stoll’s workers’ compensation defense attorneys also present regularly at Utah Labor Commission seminars and can provide client seminars upon arrangement.
