TO HAVE A WORKERS’ COMPENSATION APPEAL BOARD JUDGE HEAR YOUR CLAIM ON DISPUTED ISSUES

To request a hearing, you need to file a Declaration of Readiness to Proceed (DOR). There are different types of hearings you can request. The type of hearing you need to request depends on the type and nature of the dispute between you and the insurance carrier.

At the hearing, the Workers’ Compensation Judge will hear and discuss the case with all parties who are present at the hearing, and assists them in reaching a resolution of the issues in the case. In some situations, if the dispute is not resolved, the trial judge will schedule the case for trial. To prepare for trial, all document exhibits need to be prepared, all disputed issues must be outlined, and the names of all witnesses who will testify on behalf of each party must be identified in the pre-trial Statement.

The trial will be held before another judge. You and all your witnesses must attend the trial to testify on your behalf. The testimony of all parties including you, along with the testimony of all other witnesses and all exhibit documents will be admitted on the record. Between 30 and 90 days after the trial is ended, the trial judge will issue his written decision which will be mailed to all parties. If any of the parties disagree with the trial judge’s decision, the disagreeing party should appeal the decision by filing a Petition for Reconsideration.
