Join attorney Nancy L. Cavey, a nationally recognized expert in disability law, as she explores a critical - but often misunderstood - question: should your workers’ compensation records be included in your ERISA disability file? It’s not just red tape. When both claims stem from the same injury or illness, what goes into your file - and what stays out - can shape the entire outcome of your case. We’ll examine how the two systems interact, why adding workers’ compensation records might work for you in some cases but backfire in others, and the troubling reality of selective use: when insurers cherry-pick damaging details from your records but leave out the parts that could actually help you. This is one of those behind-the-scenes moves that can define your financial future - and most claimants never see it coming.
