1 hour MCLE

Workers' compensation cases are often settled, but there are many considerations that must be taken into account when doing so. This one-hour program walks paralegals through what they need to know when a workers' comp case settles alongside a third-party PI claim. We'll cover how to identify and resolve carrier liens, coordinate with the workers' comp carrier, protect future benefits, and navigate Medicare obligations. We'll also break down Virginia's new HB 426 amendment taking effect July 1, 2026, and explain how SSDI offsets work when a client receives a lump-sum settlement.

Who Should Attend: Plaintiff paralegals, legal assistants, and attorneys working on personal injury or workers' compensation cases — particularly those handling matters where a third-party tort claim and a workers' comp claim overlap. This program is ideal for anyone who wants to feel more confident managing the intersection of these claims through settlement and beyond.

Topics At A Glance:

• Know the Codes
• Settling a Personal Injury Claim with a Workers' Comp Component
• What Happens to the Workers' Comp Case After the PI Case Settles?
• Medicare Impacts at Settlement
• SSDI Offset and the Lump-Sum Settlement Problem
