The Kornbluth Ginsberg Law Group, P.A. has announced the promotion of Jesse S. Shapiro to Manager of the firm's Workers' Compensation Practice. Shapiro, one of the few North Carolina State Bar Board Certified Specialists in Workers' Compensation Law, will lead the practice group in representing injured workers before the North Carolina Industrial Commission. His new role comes as the firm continues to handle cases involving catastrophic injuries, occupational diseases, previously denied claims, complex medical issues, and significant settlement negotiations.
Shapiro joined the firm in 2024 after more than 20 years of legal experience, including representing personal injury victims and securing multi-million-dollar results. Before that, he defended insurance companies and self-insured employers in workers' compensation and personal injury litigation, giving him valuable insight into how the opposition operates. He now uses that inside knowledge to advocate aggressively on behalf of his clients. His promotion is seen as a strategic move to strengthen the firm's workers' compensation practice, which is a critical area for North Carolina workers who suffer job-related injuries or illnesses.
This news is important because workers' compensation laws in North Carolina can be complex, and having a board-certified specialist leading the practice ensures that clients receive expert representation. Shapiro's experience with both sides of the litigation process allows him to anticipate defense strategies and negotiate effectively. For injured workers, this can mean the difference between a denied claim and fair compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and long-term care.
Shapiro currently serves as Vice President of the North Carolina Advocates for Justice Workers' Compensation Executive Committee and is a Committee Member of the North Carolina Bar Association Workers' Compensation Section. He has been recognized twice by the North Carolina Advocates for Justice for extraordinary service in preserving justice for injured workers in the state. Additionally, he has been selected as a North Carolina Super Lawyer in Workers' Compensation, an honor reserved for attorneys with high peer recognition and professional achievement.
The Kornbluth Ginsberg Law Group, with over 100 years of combined legal experience, handles cases involving motor vehicle accidents, workplace accidents, catastrophic injuries, and wrongful death. The firm has recovered millions of dollars for clients throughout the North Carolina Triangle. For more information, visit their website at https://www.kornbluthginsberg.com.
