New York Workers’ Compensation Defense

A rural mail carrier alleged injuries to the head, neck, chest, and left shoulder after a low-speed vehicle incident during poor weather. From the pre-hearing conference forward, LOIS Senior Associate Olivia Barna and Paralegal Rida Khan preserved all defenses, identified the employer witnesses, reserved medical cross-examination and independent medical examination rights, and successfully opposed the claimant’s attempt to add witnesses who had not been disclosed in the required pre-hearing statement.
