Goldberg Segalla added partner Mario M. Marchini to the firm’s Workers’ Compensation Practice Group in Newark.
Mario oversees a large caseload, offering assistance and ensuring that associates handle every claim according the firm’s uniquely effective Workers’ Compensation practice model, while also personally managing and guiding clients through complex and high-value litigation before the New York State Workers’ Compensation Board.

In addition, Mario has handled numerous disability benefits proceedings and issues involving Loss of Wage Earning Capacity (LWEC), and has extensive experience with medical depositions involving highly technical scientific questions and complex fact patterns.
Before entering private practice, Mario served as assistant corporation counsel defending workers’ compensation claims brought against the City of New York.
