Things to Know About a Workers’ Compensation Mediation

Workers' Compensation Background | Gaylord & Nantais

All Parties Must Attend

Unless their attendance is waived, all parties must appear at the mediation meeting. Because the end goal is to reach a fair solution that satisfies both sides, it’s important that everyone be in attendance. It’s difficult to mediate between two parties if only one shows up. Mandatory attendance means that each party has an equal voice when it comes to discussing their concerns and what they are willing to offer.

Reaching the Final Total or “Clincher Amount”

The final total or “clincher amount” is what the victim receives in a lump sum as their final settlement. This amount must be enough to cover their medical expenses and any other costs they may have incurred while recovering from their injuries.

Compromise

While the cost of the person’s medical bills won’t be negotiable, the amount they receive for damages will be. A mediation hearing makes it possible for both sides to come together and agree on a final total without having to take the case in front of a judge.

At Gaylord & Nantais, the attorneys are capable of mediating most Worker’s Compensation and receiving a favorable outcome. The result means the victim is well-taken care of and the responsible party is taking care of their obligations.
