New Jersey Case Dismissed for Lack of Prosecution

This was an accepted claim with authorized treatment. Permanency reports were exchanged, the case was conferenced and the Judge of Compensation gave her opinion as to value. The client granted authority as per the Judge’s recommendation and we presented an offer to the Petitioner’s counsel in November of 2018. The attorney delayed for months with various excuses, including “my client didn’t call me back”, and “I haven’t had the chance to speak to him yet”, etc. We filed a Motion to Dismiss after hearing one too many excuses. LOIS attorney Joe Jones aggressively pursued the dismissal Motion and was able to argue that the case should be dismissed as the petitioner and/or the attorney had no interest in moving the case forward.

The Judge agreed enough was enough and dismissed the case.

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.
