Temporary Staffing Agencies
For staffing and recruiting companies, managing workers' compensation exposure is critical to successful operations. Because of our strong relationships with staffing agencies, we are able to build a foundation of safety prevention, loss mitigation, and claims management services support to avoid costly litigation. However, in the event a claim is litigated, we are keenly attuned to addressing the factual and legal issues prevalent in temporary staffing claims. We conduct through factual investigation, as it is often difficult for claims professionals to gather facts from the insured’s client’s job site or personnel. We conduct thorough investigation to assess potential means of shifting exposure or loss spreading, even via subrogation or third party recovery. Further, in staffing agency claims, there are often potential legal arguments to dual employment via a “general-special employer” theory, as well as Applicants seeking to avoid the exclusive remedy of workers’ compensation. Overall, we maintain a deft handling of balancing our clients’ interests in resolving the claims for minimal value, while respecting and maintaining their business relationships with their client companies.
