LOIS Reduces Carrier Exposure by Raising Section 114-A Violation
LOIS Associate Tomer Lehr and Paralegal Loriana Diaz successfully achieved a nominal settlement in a New York Workers’ Compensation claim. The matter involves a controverted claim with significant exposure and IME’s concession of causality. A diligent review of the initial hospital records revealed that the Claimant reported a slip and fall in the shower a day before the accident of record. Although the claim initially appeared dormant, Claimant’s counsel later sought to establish basic issues and lost time benefits. Around the same time, Claimant filed an FMLA application for an unrelated medical condition that resulted in lost time, suggesting that the counsel may not have been aware of this development.
