Comp Corner

Work Comp Case Law, B&B Blog, Factual Investigations, Poker, Music and More w/ John Kamin

Host Nasir F. Adil is joined by John Kamin, Partner, and Director of Bradford & Barthel’s Editorial Board. They begin by examining John’s early career in journalism, including in politics and at WorkCompCentral, and how those skills translate into his role today as a workers’ compensation defense attorney (2:28). We then delve into the B&B Editorial Board as John provides an extensive recap of recent work comp case law including Zenith and the Going and Coming Rule, Vigil and the Kite doctrine, Christopher Johnson, Latrice Reed, and ‘grant for study’ cases (19:29). We break as always for the Comp Corner mailbag, a question from claims examiner Marco about the role of Information and Assistance (I&A) Officers in cases involving pro per applicants (40:17). We then get to know John better in discussing his love for music and sports and how poker and golf are just like workers’ comp (42:28). John adds some great advice about liens and shares his vision of the future of comp (55:54). Nas wraps the interview with another great round of ‘5 in 5’ (1:01:27)….. Host: Nasir F.
