The Modernization of Agriculture’s Guest Worker Program

  During their 40th Annual Forum in Monterey, California, the Agricultural Personnel Management Association (APMA) took a deep dive into the Farm Workforce Modernization Act of 2019 (H.R. 5038).

Let the People Choose

  I’m continuously inspired by the journeys that leaders in workers’ compensation take on their path to the industry.

The Narrative of Workers’ Compensation is Changing

  The workers’ compensation system looks much differently today than it did a decade ago, partly due to the opioid epidemic. Tragedies of this scale have a way of spurring unexpected outcomes bringing people together from all walks of life and disciplines.

The California King Case: Imperceptible Implications for UROs

  Many minds in the workers’ compensation community have been monopolized by California’s King v. CompPartners, Inc. case. On August 23rd, the State’s Supreme Court issued their ruling on the high-profile dispute:  Workers’ compensation law provides the exclusive remedy for an employee who alleges injuries caused by a utilization reviewer’s denial of medical treatment. This […]
