LOIS Obtains Disallowance on Lack of Notice Case

LOIS attorney Alexa Cintron was successful in arguing for a disallowance of a 2022 claim, where the claimant alleged he sustained injuries to his back, left hip and tailbone. However, the Claimant failed to provide proper notice to his employer pursuant to Section 18 of the Worker’s Compensation Law. Attorney Cintron was able to obtain favorable testimony from both the Claimant and employer witness, which led the Law Judge to disallow the claim, stating that the Claimant’s inconsistent testimony did not satisfy the element of notice.
