Paul Fires, Co-Chair of Weber Gallagher’s Workers’ Compensation Practice and a member of the management committee, plays a dual role as both practitioner and businessman which allows him specific insight into his clients’ exposure reduction goals, fiscal requirements, long range planning and cost control concerns. This broad and more complete approach advances his clients interests both with litigation and non-litigation services.
Fires has multiple major victories on behalf of employers, including an injured employee’s prescription drug scandal, a false positive test for an employee with hantavirus, and proving the death of a women with adenocarcinoma was due to smoking cigarette and not toxic exposure to allegedly toxic substances in the workplace.
