On December 3, 2018, the Jamaica hearing point goes "virtual." This hearing point serves the Bronx and Queens and is the largest single hearing point in the New York workers' compensation system. This transition to virtual hearings caps off a year-long project by the Board to roll out virtual hearings across the State and make attorney check in through the virtual hearing system mandatory across the entire system. Lois Attorneys Joe Jones, Declan Gourley, and John Marzolla present a roundtable discussion on what this means for employers and carriers.
