Phillips Murrah provides aggressive and successful representation of employers in the defense of workers’ compensation matters. But what truly distinguishes our practice is our focus on the employer's perspective of compensation claims—a perspective encompassing much more than typical compensation claim defense issues. Understanding that the job injury claim and the employment relationship are inseparable, we serve as the employer's liaison—going beyond claims defense to integrating the management of the employment relationship, absence management, and the employer/insurance carrier relationship into the handling of every compensation claim.

In the defense of compensation claims, we provide experienced representation in all phases of litigation from the discovery level through all appellate courts, providing counsel to employers on workers’ compensation law, settlement negotiations, mediation, pre-trial conferences, and hearings before the Workers' Compensation Court.
