Who Is Gallagher Bassett and What Do They Do?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gallagher Bassett is a massive TPA that employers hire to handle their workers\u2019 compensation claims. A TPA is not an insurance company.

Similar to an insurance claims adjuster, Gallagher Bassett wants to settle claims in a way that favors their client, meaning they want to minimize costs for your employer.
