The Life of a Workers' Compensation Claim

Description

Please join us for this seminar discussing the life and handling of a workers’ compensation claim. We will discuss the handling of workers’ compensation claims at every stage of the process from initial reporting to resolution of claims. The presenter will start at the beginning with initial reporting and preparation of forms related to workplace injuries. Then, we will discuss what to expect after a claim is filed with the Commission. This will include claim handling during all stages of litigation, various motions that may be filed by the parties, different types of hearings that may be conducted, and an introduction to litigation procedures from pre-trial conferences to full hearings and appeals. In addition, we will discuss specific tools that parties will often use to strategically advance litigation to closure and settlement of claims.
