What Is Arbitration
Arbitration is a means of settling legal matters related to workers’ compensation without going to trial. Arbitration typically happens when a claim is filed and an insurance carrier disagrees that they are liable to pay the claim. The process of arbitration is intended to bring about a resolution to a legal dispute without taking the matter to court.
Which Cases Go To Arbitration
Generally, cases will enter arbitration when an insurance company refuses liability in a workers’ compensation claim that has been filed. This may happen in instances where there are multiple carriers and the carriers disagree on which company is legally responsible for paying the benefits for the claim, or when an insurance company takes the position that they are not liable to pay the claim for other reasons (for example, if the injury took place in an area not covered by the insurance).
