New York is replacing in-person hearings with “Virtual Hearings” held via web conference. LOIS is holding two webinars led by attorneys who have handled virtual hearings in New York to discuss what this means for claims handling, claim defense, and costs. Attorneys Declan Gourley, Esq., Christian Sison, Esq., and Tashia Rasul, Esq., discuss the impact of virtual hearings in New York workers’ compensation claims.

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.
