Jesse S. Shapiro has been promoted to Manager of the Workers' Compensation Practice at the Kornbluth Ginsberg Law Group, P.A., based in Durham, North Carolina, the firm announced. Shapiro is one of the few North Carolina State Bar Board Certified Specialists in Workers' Compensation Law, a credential that underscores his expertise in this complex field.
In his new role, Shapiro will oversee the firm's workers' compensation cases, building on a career that has included representing thousands of injured workers before the North Carolina Industrial Commission. His experience spans catastrophic injuries, occupational diseases, previously denied claims, complex medical issues, and significant settlement negotiations. The firm expressed confidence in his ability to lead the practice, citing his track record of achieving favorable outcomes for clients.
Shapiro joined Kornbluth Ginsberg Law Group in 2024 after more than 20 years of legal practice, during which he secured multi-million-dollar results for personal injury victims. Before that, he defended insurance companies and self-insured employers in workers' compensation and personal injury litigation. This dual perspective gives him valuable insight into how opposing parties operate, which he uses to advocate aggressively for his clients, the firm noted.
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 rendered and in furtherance of the preservation of justice for injured workers in North Carolina.” Additionally, he has 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.
The promotion is significant for the firm and its clients. With over 100 years of combined legal experience, the Kornbluth Ginsberg Law Group handles cases involving motor vehicle accidents, workplace accidents, catastrophic injuries, and wrongful death. Shapiro's leadership is expected to strengthen the firm's workers' compensation practice, potentially improving outcomes for injured workers in the North Carolina Triangle area.
