  • Marking 25 Years Since 9/11: Revisiting Our Discussion With Special Master Ken Feinberg

    Marking 25 Years Since 9/11: Revisiting Our Discussion With Special Master Ken Feinberg
    2026/09/10
    It’s been 25 years since 9/11. In this special episode, we revisit our conversation with Kenneth Feinberg, the architect of the federal compensation plan for victims and their families. As he asks in his book on the subject, “what’s life worth?” Feinberg is an internationally known attorney who was appointed by President George W. Bush to administer the federal fund established to aid those injured in the terrorist attacks and to support the families of those who lost their lives. We reflect on Feinberg’s Herculean efforts and how his team grappled with a national open wound and struggled to put a monetary value on thousands of lives. In today’s often divisive political climate, a brutal period 25 years ago reminds us of a time when our nation came together as one. If any episode of Workers’ Comp Matters bears a second listen, this is the one. Everyone working with injured workers and their families can take a lesson from Feinberg’s extraordinary challenge.

  • Way Down South: Every State Is Different. The View From Alabama.

    Way Down South: Every State Is Different. The View From Alabama.
    2026/08/31
    Let’s go way down south to Alabama. As we know, Workers’ Compensation systems can vary from state to state. In this episode, we’ll explore the Alabama system with Birmingham-based Workers’ Comp attorney David Nomberg, a partner in the Nomberg Law Firm. In Alabama, the system operates uniquely as the only state without an administrative Workers’ Comp system to settle differences. If there is a dispute or denied claim, the case goes directly to the Circuit Court, the same judges that would hear other civil cases. This means attorneys may have the extra duty of explaining the issue to judges who may not be familiar with Workers’ Comp. Nomberg shares insights into the importance of communication. Not only with judges, but also with clients who may be surfing the internet and finding information from law offices in other states, where different laws apply. But as Americans, we all share some similarities, too. We all want to help workers injured on the job become whole and live their best lives. Nomberg sees some nationwide areas where we can all do better, including caring for an aging workforce, mental health and PTSD, heat-related claims, and changes in technology. Jump in for this fascinating dive into the complicated web of Workers’ Compensation in an ever-changing environment.

  • Workplace and Joint Replacement: What’s On-The-Job and What’s Just Aging?

    Workplace and Joint Replacement: What’s On-The-Job and What’s Just Aging?
    2026/07/28
    Let’s talk about work-related joint injuries and replacements. Sebastian Negrusa, Ph.D., joins Judson and Alan to share the Workers’ Compensation Research Institute’s (WCRI) new report, “Recent Trends in Joint Replacement Among Workers’ Compensation Claims.” While back injuries usually come to mind for workplace injuries, joint injuries, and subsequent replacements, are becoming more common. Are you up to speed on this trend? Shoulder, hip, and knee replacements are important parts of making workers whole and getting them back to their jobs and their lives. How do you prove a workplace-related joint injury when someone has worked at the same job for decades? What’s work-related, what’s just a function of natural aging? What if the workplace only aggravated a naturally occurring degeneration? It’s complicated, but all workers deserve to be treated fairly, and all workplaces should be safe. If you have thoughts on Workers’ Comp law or an idea for a topic or guest you’d like to hear, contact us at JPierce@ppnlaw.com or APierce@ppnlaw.com.
