U.S. Chamber argues RICO should not apply to workers' compensation claims

June 08, 2009

NCLC urged the Supreme Court to decide whether the McCarran-Ferguson Act precludes workers' compensation insurance claimants from litigating workers' compensation claims under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). According to NCLC's amicus brief, permitting workers' comp claims to proceed as civil RICO claims would undermine the exclusive remedy provisions of workers' compensation laws in numerous states.
