LOIS Prevails on Appeal and Secures a Fraud Finding
LOIS Associate Bradley Haymes successfully secured a Section 114-a violation in a New York Workers’ Compensation claim. Attorney Bradley requested development of the record on Section 114-a violation based on covert surveillance showing Claimant at a sporting event for over an hour. Despite Claimant’s representation to the treating physician and to the Court that she could not stand for more than a few minutes versus what was demonstrated in the covert surveillance, the Law Judge awarded 75% loss of wage earning capacity for a back injury, found no 114-a violation, and assessed a frivolous litigation penalty against the Carrier for raising 114-a violation.
