Jesse S. Shapiro of the Kornbluth Ginsberg Law Group, P.A. in Durham, North Carolina, has been promoted to Manager of the firm's Workers' Compensation Practice, the firm announced today. As one of the few North Carolina State Bar Board Certified Specialists in Workers' Compensation Law, Shapiro is particularly suited to lead the practice, having represented thousands of injured workers before the North Carolina Industrial Commission. His expertise includes handling claims involving catastrophic injuries, occupational diseases, previously denied claims, complex medical issues, and significant settlement negotiations.
Shapiro joined the Kornbluth Ginsberg Law Group in 2024 after an already distinguished legal career representing personal injury victims and securing multi-million-dollar results for over two decades. Before shifting to plaintiff-side work, he defended insurance companies and self-insured employers in workers' compensation and personal injury litigation, providing him with valuable insight into how the opposing side operates. He leverages this inside knowledge to advocate aggressively on behalf of his clients and achieve optimal outcomes.
In addition to his new role, Shapiro 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 furtherance of justice for injured workers. Shapiro has also been selected as a North Carolina Super Lawyer in Workers' Compensation, an honor reserved for attorneys who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement.
