Workers’ Compensation Appeals
If a workers’ compensation judge rules against you, the case can often be appealed. Appeal procedures, deadlines, and standards of review vary by state.
The Legal Detail
Pennsylvania: Workers’ Compensation Appeal Board, then Commonwealth Court. New Jersey: Appellate Division. New York: Workers’ Compensation Board panel review, then Appellate Division. Maryland: Circuit Court de novo review. Each path has specific filing deadlines that cannot be missed.
State-Specific Procedures
Pennsylvania: Bureau of Workers’ Compensation claim petition, heard by a Workers’ Compensation Judge. New Jersey: claim petition in the Division of Workers’ Compensation, mandatory mediation. New York: C-3 Employee Claim, judge hearings through the Workers’ Compensation Board. Maryland: Claim Form filing with the Workers’ Compensation Commission.
