Defending Employers, Defending Employment Itself

At Lois Law Firm, defending employers in workers’ compensation cases means safeguarding the institution of employment—and the dignity of work—for everyone.

When employers are unfairly taken advantage of in the workers’ compensation system, the ripple effects extend far beyond a single case. Each time a business is saddled with excessive liability, it becomes harder to create new jobs, keep existing employees on payroll, and expand opportunities.

That is why at Lois Law Firm, our mission goes beyond case defense. We see ourselves as guardians of the institution of employment itself.

“Every workers’ compensation defense we mount is also a defense of the dignity of work,” says Partner John Marzolla.

“If employers are weakened, the very structure of opportunity in our communities is threatened.”

The numbers tell the story. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, small businesses (those with under 50 employees) create nearly two-thirds of all new jobs. But those same employers are the most vulnerable to high insurance costs and outsized claims. Protecting them in litigation means protecting job creation across the board.

Defending a case is not just about saving dollars—it’s about ensuring that work itself remains available, sustainable, and dignified.

New York Workers’ Compensation Defense at Lois Law Firm

We represent insurance carriers, self-insured employers, third party claim administrators, and employers before the New York State Workers' Compensation Board. We handle cases from cradle-to-grave. We want to be by your side, moving cases aggressively to closure from the start of litigation all the way through to settlement.

We only assign one attorney and one paralegal to each case. This means that your team members always have one contact to go to for any questions. We do not have 'hearing attorney' or a 'negotiation attorney' or 'appeal department' or anything else! All of our attorneys handle all of those roles – meaning cases are not 'passed around' as they move through the litigation process. Your risk professional or adjuster always knows who is assigned – because the attorney does not change.
