Training on 2018 New York Impairment Guidelines

The Board has adopted New Guidelines for Determining Impairment. These are the same Guidelines which were proposed in November 2017. The new Guidelines replace the prior methods of determining Scheduled Loss of Use for all claims where an impairment report was not submitted before January 1, 2018. For cases where an impairment rating report was submitted before January 1, 2018, the 2012 Guidelines will apply. The new Guidelines are here.

Training on the New Guidelines.

We will be running training on the new Guidelines, led by LOIS partner Christian Sison, on January 8, 2017 in multiple sessions. Register here:

Register for 12PM EST January 8 – New Guidelines Training
Register for 3PM EST January 8 – New Guidelines Training

Both webinars are LIVE and Questions-and-Answer sessions will be held.

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.
