Workers' Compensation Litigation

At Malapero Prisco & Klauber, we offer comprehensive legal representation in defending Workers' Compensation claims. The New York State Workers' Compensation Board sets strict and concise deadlines for insurance carriers. Adhering to these deadlines is critical to mounting an aggressive and complete defense for all pending claims. These deadlines encompass various crucial steps, including but not limited to:

1. The timely filing of disputes to claims and the preservation of defenses.
2. Submission of all Independent Medical Examination (IME) reports.
3. Replies to requests for deviations from established Medical Treatment Guidelines.
4. Filing of deposition transcripts.
5. Lodging of appeals against decisions.

Unlike some firms that may only appear at hearings before delegating the follow-up tasks to you, our firm takes a proactive approach. With the carrier and/or client's authorization, we assist in meeting these deadlines, thereby reducing the burden on the carrier and ensuring the maintenance of all relevant defenses.

Furthermore, we coordinate IMEs to guarantee that examinations are conducted within the required timeframes and reports are shared in accordance with the strict mandates of the Workers' Compensation Law and Regulations. Our access to the E-Case system enables us to monitor indexing dates, forthcoming hearings, and deadlines set by judges efficiently. This level of representation provides our carriers and clients with the assurance needed when relying on the full-service capabilities of Malapero Prisco & Klauber in navigating the complexities of Workers' Compensation defense.
