LOIS Reduced High-Exposure Construction Claim to Nuisance Value
Collaborating with Paralegal Karen Olarte, Partner Meisha Powell was able to successfully reduce a New York Workers’ Compensation construction claim to a negligible nuisance value. This was a complex case where a painter alleged falling from a paint bucket at a construction site and injuring multiple body parts. The Claimant alleged serious injuries to her neck, back, both shoulders, both elbows, both hands/wrists, both hips, both knees, both feet/ankles, and head. In preparing to defend this claim, Powell and her team began to gather evidence to rebut the Claimant’s allegations. Before trial, the Claimant submitted text messages, photos, and medical records to support her allegations.
