Wiggins, Richard, Romano & Thorson, L.L.P. specializes in the defense of self-insured employers, public entities, and insurers in all aspects of Workers' Compensation law throughout California. We take an integrated approach for our clients, ever mindful of overlapping labor and employment law issues, such as disability accommodations.

We quickly settle complex disputes and zealously defend our clients at trial when reasonable resolutions are rejected. We have successfully defended against all types of compensability (AOE/COE) disputes, as well as Labor Code section 132(a) and Serious and Willful misconduct claims. We have pursued numerous fraudulent claims from investigation through prosecution, leading to convictions in several counties. We also specialize in penalty defense and appeals, up to and including the California Supreme Court.

Our firm also provides representation, training and counseling on overlapping labor, employment, subrogation and liability issues.
