Workers' Compensation Assistance

Workers’ Compensation assistance is offered to our members by attorney Kirk Wolenguth. Here’s how it works:

• Each IFCA member may consult with our Workers’ Compensation counsel from Stevens & Lee for a total of ONE hour per year FREE of charge.
  
  
• If your use of this benefit exceeds one hour per year, you will be notified by IFCA that future Workers’ Compensation charges will be billed to your company direct.
  
  
• Legal Counsel is available to answer any questions you may have, including whether to litigate a claim, strategies to reduce the cost of a settlement, settling claims, terminating an employee with a compensation claim and issues arising with your insurance carrier.
