Every Case Is a Defense of Opportunity

At Lois Law Firm, every workers’ compensation defense case is also a defense of opportunity and upward mobility for workers everywhere.

A single employer may see a workers’ compensation case as a threat to its balance sheet. But zoom out, and you see the bigger picture: each successful defense protects the broader labor market.

When employers are overburdened, hiring slows. When hiring slows, opportunity dries up. This is why every case at Lois Law Firm is about more than the defense of a claim—it’s about the defense of opportunity itself.

“Work changes lives,” notes Partner Declan Gourley.

“And work only exists where employers are protected. That’s why our mission is both legal and moral.”

Statistics bear this out. In New York, total workers’ compensation costs top $6 billion annually. Even a small reduction in liability exposure translates into millions reinvested into training, payroll, and new hiring. Every employer we defend helps sustain an ecosystem of work and dignity.

The dignity of work is not automatic. It must be defended—and at Lois Law Firm, that is our mission.

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.
