Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB)

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) is a legal body in the United States that reviews disputes related to workers' compensation claims. If an employee disagrees with a decision made by a workers' compensation insurer or administrative law judge regarding benefits, they can appeal to the WCAB. The board examines the evidence and legal arguments to make fair decisions about claims. Its primary goal is to ensure that workers receive the benefits they are entitled to for work-related injuries or illnesses while also upholding the rights of employers and insurers in the process.
