LOIS Triumphs with Late Notice, Reverses Law Judge’s “Good Excuse” Finding
LOIS Partner Connor Wetherington and Paralegal Chrystalla Karamanis obtained a Board Panel Decision reversing establishment found at the trial level, securing a win for their employer-client, a Membership-Only Warehouse Club, in a New York Workers’ Compensation claim. The Claimant alleged a left shoulder injury after purportedly lifting boxes of milk in the dairy cooler. However, the Claimant did not report the alleged injury until 88 days later. This is also when the Claimant began to lose time from work due to the injury. Of note, the Claimant had only worked for the Employer for two (2) days prior to the alleged injury.
