LOIS Secures Disallowance Showing Infection-Related Findings Not Causally Related to the Work Accident
LOIS Senior Associate Adam J. Lowenstein obtained a disallowance in a New York Workers’ Compensation claim. This claim involved a truck driver, who alleged that a co-worker ran over his left foot with a cart, causing injuries to his foot and knee. However, there was no record of a timely notice to the employer, and the claimant did not seek treatment until a month later, when he presented to the hospital with a left foot infection requiring surgery. The records also made no mention of any work accident.
