Why Membership is Important to You
There appears to be a widespread effort to reduce and eliminate benefits for injured workers at the state and federal levels.
There is a huge inequity between organizations seeking to reduce worker benefits and due process
rights for injured workers vs. those groups that truly serve the interests of workers and their families.
By sharing information on a nationwide basis, attorneys wishing to preserve or help improve the rights of injured workers receive timely information and expert assistance:
To improve the ability of individuals representing injured workers to respond
to misinformation presented to public bodies and the media;
To provide for sharing of information on a cooperative basis between members
who handle workplace injury cases and reform issues;
To assist state trial lawyers’ associations and other state and local organizations.
