Great Post at Lexis Discussing Differences Between Longshore Stipulations and Settlements

The LexisNexis Workers’ Compensation Community recently posted a great article entitled, “Resolving Longshore Claims Through Settlements and Stipulations.”  The post was authored by Yelena Zaslavskaya, the Senior Attorney for Longshore, Office of Administrative Law Judges.  I don’t want to steal any thunder from the post by reprinting portions here.  Instead, use this link to access the article.  You will find a great discussion about the two most important methods used to resolve Longshore and Defense Base Act claims: stipulations and settlements.
