Fenchurch Law Launches New Reinsurance and International Risks Practice
UK legal firm, Fenchurch Law, known for working exclusively for policyholders and brokers on insurance coverage disputes, has launched a new practice group focused on reinsurance and international risks.
The new group will focus on representing non-UK policyholders in complex and high value insurance disputes under policies placed either directly into the London market, or placed locally and then reinsured, into the London market, according to a press release.
The new practice group will also take instructions from captives and from non-UK insurers which have coverage disputes with London market insurers.
Commenting on the launch of the new practice group, managing partner, David Pryce explained, “The London market has a long and well-established reputation for paying claims.”
“However, it is a fact of business life that occasionally disagreements do arise between policyholders and insurers, particularly when losses are large,” he added.
“We’ve launched this new dedicated practice group to reflect the increasingly international nature of our work, which is itself a reflection of the way the London market continues to be a global leader in writing bespoke and complex risks.”
Pryce affirmed that the launch of the new practice is also a means of “furthering our purpose of levelling the playing field between policyholders and their insurers, not just in the UK, but across the world.”
MedRisk’s 2022 Outlook Industry Trends Report Highlights the Value of Early Physical Therapy
Managed care organization, MedRisk, recently released its 2022 industry trends report which re-emphasized the ways timing and type of physical therapy directly influence workers’ compensation claim outcomes.
MedRisk’s 2022 Outlook Industry Trends report features several studies showing the benefits of early physical therapy, whether treatment targets low back pain, knee injuries or neck pain.
“The type of therapy delivered matters,” said MedRisk’s vice president of clinical services and provider management Brian Peers, PT, DPT.
The report includes an analysis of MedRisk data on the impact of early manual therapy. “When manual therapy is recommended, starting it early lowers the average medical cost per claim by 27%,” Dr. Peers affirmed.
“We found that the value of early manual therapy increases with age and is particularly useful for complex cases,” he added.
The report also contains a recap of 2021 legislative and regulatory decisions related to physical medicine in workers’ compensation and presents findings of research on patient satisfaction, psychosocial factors, chronic pain, and COVID-19.
