Arizona Adds Assignment Language To Workers' Comp Statute (Again)

By Gary L. Wickert

Earlier this year, the Arizona Court of Appeals essentially rewrote § 23-1023, Arizona’s workers’ compensation subrogation statute.

He was one of thousands of employees of civilian contractors working overseas and subject to workers’ compensation under the Defense Base Act (DBA) and War Hazards Compensation Act (WHCA). The U.S. has military personnel deployed in over 150 countries and they’re all supported by civilian contractors and their employees. This statistic alone underscores the financial importance of WHCA carriers being familiar with the Act’s reimbursement laws and procedures and taking full advantage of them.
