George Clements

Vice President of Claims Georgia Casualty & Surety Company

“ The difference between SDF Specialists and other companies I have used is that Shelly Avidon’s team shows more interest, more persistence, does not take no for an answer and investigates every possible avenue to effect recovery. One complex claim was reversed from denial to full offer with no incurrence of legal fees. Due to SDF’s steadfast pursuit, that claim resulted in our recovery of at least $700,000…”

WHY DO YOU NEED SDF SPECIALISTS?

SDF Specialists has a refined focus in the area of worker’s compensation. Every client will realize a dramatic increase in their fund recoveries.

What Is The Fund?

Second injury or special disability trust funds, were created for the benefit of employee and employers.

These trust funds were created to encourage the hiring of people with permanent disabilities and to reduce the impact of ever rising workers compensation premiums. Your payment is made to the state fund through an assessment annually. When properly informed, the employer, municipality or insurance carrier can recover a portion of those expenses through proper identification, investigation, qualification and presentation of facts when an employee is injured throughout the life of the claim.

You Gain

Recoveries equal to your assessment and more.
80% of our clients recoveries today were never identified by their staff including case workers or attorneys.
75% of self-insured employers, municipalities and insurance companies who have paid an assessment into the fund are not filing claims. They recognize the fund as an expense. Many of our clients see greater reimbursement than their assessments.
Our focus never leaves your recovery claim regardless of industry changes.
