LOIS Prevails on Discrimination Claim Against the Employer
LOIS Partner Meisha Powell and LOIS Paralegal Karen Olarte prevailed on discrimination in a New York Workers’ Compensation claim after waging an aggressive defense. The claim involves a claimant, who alleged termination in retaliation for threatening to file a workers’ compensation claim. The claimant initially asserted a back injury from heavy labor and pursued a workers’ compensation case, and thereafter filed a separate discrimination action claiming the employer laid him off solely because he was injured and planned to file a claim.
