About this Episode

LOIS' resident Schedule Loss of Use guru, or "SLUru," Partner Jeremy Janis, returns to the Third Fridays podcast to discuss two case law developments. In the first case, Christian Sison and Jeremy review a Board Panel Decision that overturns a posthumous SLU award. In the second case, they discuss the Board's implementation of a February 2024 Appellate Division case that favors employers whenever a claimant is found unattached to the labor market at the time of non-schedule permanency. How should cases be handled after these decisions?


What is “Third Fridays”?

"Third Fridays" podcast is a live, 30-minute legal talk show from Lois Law Firm featuring moderator Christian Sison. It is the original forum in which real attorneys discuss workers' compensation issues, share their opinions and engage in colorful conversations.

The goal of the show is to showcase the diverse perspectives of the attorneys handling workers' compensation cases. Attorneys discuss case law trends, practical litigation strategies, and hot topics.
