Will there be more than one hearing?

In most cases, there will be more than one hearing. The general procedure is that the claimant (you) and any of your witnesses will testify at the first hearing followed by depositions (testimony taken outside the hearing room) of your doctor and the employer's doctor. At a later hearing, your employer may present non-medical witnesses to testify on their behalf.

It is not necessary for you to attend any hearing unless advised to do so by our office. The Judge and only the Judge decides when the hearings are scheduled. Our office has no control over the scheduling of hearings.
