WINNING RESULTS: How One Last-Minute Witness Turned a NY Workers’ Comp Hearing on Its Head

In New York workers’ compensation practice, timing isn’t just important — it’s dispositive. When a case turns on proper employer and carrier liability, the difference between a win and a loss often comes down to one thing: credible witness testimony on the record. At Lois Law Firm, that’s where advocacy meets creativity — and service seals the deal.

At a recent controverted hearing, the stage was set for a routine continuation. The issue: proper employer. The expectation: employer witnesses ready to testify. The reality? When the case was called, the witness — prepared just days earlier — was nowhere to be found. Calls from the Court went straight to voicemail. Calls from counsel LOIS Associate Andrew Berman? Same result. With no witness present, the case moved to summations, and the risk was clear: without testimony, the evidentiary record would tilt decisively against the carrier.

At LOIS, wins don’t happen by accident. They happen because when the moment calls for it, the team goes the extra mile.

WINNING RESULTS: How LOIS Turned a Conceded IME into a Full Claim Disallowance

In New York workers’ compensation litigation, a conceded IME on causal relationship can feel like an impossible setback to surmount. But at Lois Law Firm, we know the truth: causal relationship is only as strong as the facts it rests on. And when those facts crumble, so does the claim.

That’s exactly what happened when LOIS Associate Doug Chau and Paralegal Jeannie Borschell secured a full disallowance of a right hip claim—despite an IME concession and the preclusion of the employer’s only witness.

Coach's Corner: Measure What Really Matters

“I’m doing what I’m supposed to, so the problem can’t be coming from me.”

We’ve all uttered those words or heard someone say them at some point in our lives. After all, we often tell ourselves that we’re doing everything we need to and applying the proper effort because it feels true. It goes even further when we say, “I know what to do, I just don’t do it,” excusing why inaction is acceptable. Thoughts like, “I know what’s going to happen,” and “I’ve done it before,” then lead us into freestyling and taking “appropriate” steps in a disorderly way. The problem is that, even if the actions taken are “healthy,” they’re still considered non-constructive habits, because they don’t lead to actual results. This is where most people get stuck: the effort feels real, even though the results aren’t.

Perceived Effort is an internal conviction that you’re working efficiently at everything you’re doing without objective proof that you are.
