Private Insurers Suspending Workers' Compensation Benefits Are Not State Actors and Employee's Medical Treatment Must Be Reasonable and Necessary before Due Process Attaches: American Manufacturers Mutual Insurance Co. v. Sullivan

Authors

Mark A. Nuzzo

Abstract

The United States Supreme Court held that private workers' compensation insurers are not converted to state actors merely because the business is subject to extensive state regulation, and due process procedures are not implicated until the employee's property interest attaches by proving the medical treatment was reasonable and necessary.

American Manufacturers Mutual Insurance Co. v. Sullivan, 119 S. Ct. 977 (1999).
