She focuses her practice on the defense of workers’ compensation claims on behalf of employers, insurance carriers, self-insured corporations, third-party administrators, and claims servicing agencies.

Throughout her career, Amy has cultivated an array of skills and knowledge that have contributed to the effective representation of clients in several industries including the retail, healthcare, hospitality, and the public goods and government services industries.  Amy frequently represents health care facilities, including hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes, as well as a broad range of service industry employers.

The scope of her work includes management of compensable catastrophic injuries, defending non-compensable claims, and settlement of often multi-million dollar cases involving annuities and Medicare Set Asides. These include claims handled from inception or taken over at the excess coverage level due to the significant exposure of the matters.
