LOIS Proves Claimant’s Testimony Not Credible, Wins Case

LOIS obtains disallowances for two traveling claims with separate dates of loss. Attorney Alexa Cintron was able to highlight key inconsistencies for each alleged accident, as the Claimant submitted contradictory C-3 forms alleging injury to different body sites in each file. The Claimant also withheld key information about prior accidents to his own doctors and failed to discuss specific facts about the alleged injuries with those doctors. Attorney Cintron engaged in a lengthy trial process, consisting of testimony from the claimant’s doctors, the claimant himself, and three employer witnesses. Ultimately, the claimant was found not credible, as his own testimony and the C-3 forms regarding his mechanism of injury were inconsistent with what the claimant reported to his employer and his physicians, which led to the disallowance of both claims.
