Third-Party Subrogation
Subrogation is the recovery of costs and expenses related to the negligent and unsafe conduct caused by another’s negligence. Labor unions and healthcare companies that unnecessarily pay costs and medical expenses related to defective products, dangerous pharmaceuticals, and toxic chemicals may have a right to recover those costs, if the manufacturers’ conduct was negligent and/or unsafe. The attorneys at Schwarz & Schwarz understand the complex nature of these types of claims, the technology required to correctly identify the responsible unsafe manufacturer who caused, not only the injury to the individual, but significant costs incurred by labor unions and health companies. Managing Partner Daniel Schwarz has patented a platform to assist in recovering costs from manufacturers for the harm that their unsafe products and practices created and caused.
RoundUp
The attorneys at Schwarz & Schwarz represent the interests of individuals who have used the weed killer RoundUp and have developed cancer, such as Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. This dangerous, hazardous, and toxic product has resulted in cancerous blood disorders and has required healthcare plans to incur significant medical expenses in the treatment of these patients. Schwarz & Schwarz is pursuing recovery subrogation from the maker of this dangerous product to recover medical expenses for healthcare payers and plans.
CPAP
People who suffer from sleep apnea have been reporting that their Philips CPAP and BiPAP devices have caused nausea, headaches, upper airway irritation, coughing, chest pressure, sinus infections, asthma, and other increased breathing problems. Inhalation of the toxic chemicals present in these devices may also increase the risk of cancer. Healthcare payers and plans are currently footing the bill for the treatment of these side effects. Schwarz & Schwarz is able to recover paid claims dollars from the manufacturers of these and other defective devices in order to return it back to the healthcare plan.
Opioids
The opioid epidemic has tragically impacted hundreds of thousands of Americans and their families. Much of this crisis could have been prevented by drug companies. The attorneys at Schwarz & Schwarz represent the interests of multiple healthcare payers and plans to recover medical costs and expenses incurred due to the improper manufacturing, marketing, distribution, and sales practices of opioid prescription drugs.

Third Party Workplace Subrogation - Safety System
A tech-powered, innovative solution to track and improve workplace safety
Over the course of six decades, Schwarz & Schwarz has represented a tremendous number of individuals injured as a result of workplace accidents throughout a wide array of trades and industries. These injuries were often catastrophic and occurred due to the fault of a third-party. During the course of representing these clients, managing partner Daniel Schwarz began to find patterns of similar injuries within specific industries (called “repetitive workplace injuries”).
The Problem: Workplace accident information was not uniformly gathered, leaving groups unable to effectively analyze the data to identify common trends or practices involving trade workers.
The Solution: Daniel Schwarz invented Union Safety System, a groundbreaking platform that reports on and tracks repetitive workplace injuries. The Safety System tracks specific information obtained from OSHA 300 logs, as well as other relevant worksite information and data, and it categorically sorts and analyzes workplace injuries by industry, injury/exposure type, equipment type, and work practices. The information is then disseminated to participating local and national groups, affording them access to relevant safety information throughout their respective industries.
Since the invention of the Safety System, various types of unsafe worksite practices and equipment types have been identified, corrected, and changed in order to create a safer work environment. Moreover, the Safety System now incorporates a proactive tool that analyzes workplace accidents, to help reduce future occupational exposures and injuries.
