Evaluating Workers’ Compensation Cases: What Needs to be Evaluated When you First Receive a Case

Learn how to evaluate whether a workers’ compensation case is compensable from both the Petitioner’s and Respondent’s point of view. This session covers the basics—jurisdiction, statute of limitations, accident, medical causation, the employer/employee relationship, average weekly wage, and available benefits. We’ll also look at real examples, including gig workers like Uber and Lyft drivers, and walk through documents commonly used in practice to help you understand what needs to be proven and how to do it.
