Dispute Resolution and Appeals

Dispute resolution in workers' compensation law refers to the process of resolving disagreements between injured workers and insurance companies or employers regarding benefits, medical treatment, or claim denials. If disputes arise, parties can use methods like mediation or arbitration to reach an agreement without going to court. If an outcome is unsatisfactory, injured workers have the right to appeal decisions made by the workers' compensation board or other authorities. This involves reviewing the case by a higher authority to ensure fair judgment and proper compensation in line with the law.
