What is Workers’ Compensation Arbitration
California is one of several states that allow certain workers’ compensation disputes to be resolved via arbitration and mediation instead of requiring said cases to immediately go to trial.
The process typically involves both an employer and employee presenting their arguments and evidence to an arbitrator. An arbitrator functions very much like a judge. They hear each party’s arguments before issuing a decision in favor of one party.
Usually, employees and employers will present their arguments to a single judge. However, there are some cases when a panel of arbitrators may be involved.
The Importance of Working With a Marina del Rey Workers’ Compensation Coverage and Arbitration Lawyer
A lawyer can play a critical role in the outcome of an arbitration case. We will help you gather any relevant evidence and cite all applicable workers’ compensation laws and standards to ensure the argument you present is strong during the arbitration process.
Don’t underestimate the importance of securing a favorable outcome. If an arbitrator determines an employee is eligible to recover workers’ compensation benefits, you could face unnecessary financial difficulties. The fact that an arbitrator rules in favor of a claimant doesn’t mean their ruling is appropriate. An arbitrator can make the wrong decision if one party simply presents a stronger argument than the other. Guard against this by hiring a lawyer who specializes in these types of cases.
