Foley, Smit, O’Boyle & Weisman is a mid-sized litigation law firm with its main office in Lower Manhattan, and a satellite office on Long Island (Hauppauge, NY). We are one of the first firms to make New York Workers’ Compensation defense the cornerstone of our litigation practice. This practice involves representation of insurance carriers, self-insured employers, third party claim administrators, and employers before the NY State Workers’ Compensation Board. On a daily basis our attorneys appear in each Workers' Compensation Board hearing location from as far north as Peekskill to as far south as Riverhead. We provide specialized counsel and advice concerning the compensability of a claim, help resolve insurance coverage disputes, and handle claims from the first document filings through appeals. All of our appellate practice is done in-house and appeals taken to the Third Department of New York State Supreme Court’s Appellate Division, as well as New York’s Court of Appeals, are handled exclusively by the firm’s partners. We are also one of the few firms who handle the defense of employers and insurance carriers in claims brought under the U.S. Longshore & Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act, making us ideal consultants in questions of workers compensation jurisdiction as well as claims brought under the Defense Base Act of 1941. The firm also handles the defense of New York employers accused of being uninsured or accused of retaliatory discrimination (WCL §120).
