WINNING RESULTS: LOIS Secures Removal from Notice in a Construction Complex Claim

Lois Law Firm Associate Kristine Rosales, Esq., CLMP and Paralegal Andrea Hayles successfully secured a discharge and removal from notice in a New York Workers’ Compensation construction claim. The claim involved a marble installer who sustained injuries to multiple sites. At the underlying hearing, Attorney Rosales requested to be discharged and removed from notice on the ground of lack of coverage, arguing that the insured was not the general contractor on the project, but a similarly named corporation was. In sum, she argued that there is no connection linking employment between the insured and the Claimant, and that the Claimant appeared to be working for a supplier. The Law Judge upheld the position of Attorney Rosales and discharged and removed the employer and the Carrier. As a result of the favorable outcome, the Carrier is not liable for any incurred bills or any indemnity benefits related to the claim.
