6 July 2016, by Pierce & Mandell, P.C. in Insurance Defense and Litigation
Pierce & Mandell attorney Curt Dooling was quoted in a Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly article on the recent Supreme Judicial Court decision of DiCarlo v. Suffolk Construction Co., Inc., et al. In DiCarlo, the SJC held that pain and suffering damages were not subject to a workers compensation lien pursuant to G. L. c. 152, § 15.
In the article, Dooling discussed the implication of the case on the settlement of personal injury claims. Dooling noted that workers compensation insurers are less likely to take a hard line in settlement discussions because the SJC has made it clear that pain and suffering damages are not subject to a workers compensation lien.
