SB 520 Workers' compensation; third party claims.
Introduced by: William C. Mims | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Workers’ compensation; third party claims. Provides that when an employer has a subrogation interest in an employee’s workers’ compensation claim against a third party and the employer fails to consent to a settlement offer acceptable to the employee, the employee may petition the court (stating the compromise) where the action is pending for approval of the settlement. If no action is pending or the action is pending outside the Commonwealth, the petition may be filed in any circuit court in which venue lies as to the employee. The court may approve the settlement and after all appeals are exhausted and because the employer's subrogation interest has not been compromised, such approval is deemed consent to the settlement by the employer.
