Insurance Recovery Group Launches New Website

Dave Jollin, President and CEO of Insurance Recovery Group (IRG) announces the launch of a new website with expanded content. The site includes a deeper menu of content and information resources for clients, prospects, and industry professionals. Jollin points out that, as the national leader in second injury fund recovery, the company wanted to tell its own story in greater depth ¦ for example, by including case histories of successful recoveries and a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page to address common questions about the company or about the recovery process. Expert articles on the topic of second injury fund recovery and subrogation have also been added to help site visitors understand the issues and opportunities surrounding recovery.

Article Published in The Journal of Workers Compensation

An article by Fred Uehlein and David Jollin is appearing in the Winter 2005 edition of The Journal of Workers Compensation published by Standard Publishing. The article is entitled æClosing the Recovery Gapà and it deals with maximizing opportunities to reduce total workers compensation costs through third-party recoveries. It points out that although most in the industry would define recovery as recouping cash, recovery actually comes in many forms. A broader definition would be the right to apply a statute to recover money or to reduce committed reserves. This expanded definition of recovery includes the reduction of reserves by the assertion of rights against another party, rather than merely through the recovery of actual cash. The article discusses how the expanded definition should spur the use of new and more effective recovery processes that will allow employers and insurers to increase recovery dollars without over-committing valuable management time or cash flow.
