PA Bureau of Workers’ Compensation Seminar Will Cause Brilliant & Neiman to be Closed May 30, 2024 and May 31, 2024

On May 30, 2024 and May 31, 2024, the annual Pennsylvania Bureau of Workers’ Compensation “Workers’ Compensation Conference” will take place in Hershey, PA.  Here, attorneys, Workers’ Compensation Judges (WCJs), employer representatives, adjusters, risk management/safety employees and others who work in the world of workers’ comp across the entire State of PA, gather to discuss and learn changes and trends of which they should be aware.

As we do each year, our attorneys will attend the conference this year.  The majority of the attorney attendees at this seminar work for the insurance carriers.  This places us in the minority, but out attendance at this seminar is critical to our ability to properly represent our clients.

By listening while the insurance industry representatives are told about the state of the workers’ compensation laws, and impact of recent cases, we are getting insight into how the insurers will treat different situations.  This helps us understand and anticipate steps and strategies the workers’ compensation insurance carriers may take.  We are also able to have informal conversations with WCJs and defense attorneys, building relationships that may improve communication in future dealings.  We are also learning about any new developments or trends that may have escaped our notice.

We recognize that being at this seminar, and out of the office, it may be a bit more difficult for our clients to reach us for those couple days, but when viewed against the overall advantage of having us attend, it was an easy decision.  We will, of course, return calls and e-mails on breaks, so we do (as always) remain in constant communication with our clients.
