The Commissioner, or more likely a Claims Mediator, will review the doctor’s report of your treatment. You will be asked if the injury limited your physical activities and the Claims Mediator will look at any scars or disfigurement left by the injury. After a brief discussion with you and the insurance representative, the Claims Mediator will recommend a settlement amount. If you agree, you will be asked to sign an agreement and you will be mailed a check for the settlement amount.

informal conference is an opportunity for you and a representative of your employer’s insurance company to meet with a Commissioner or Claims Mediator to discuss the settlement of your workers’ compensation claim.

The purpose of an informal conference is to reach an agreement on the amount you will be paid if you have any permanent disability or loss of use as a result of an on-the job accident. The agreement will cover any disfigurement or scarring related to the injury. Workers’ compensation pays for disability or loss of use, or on a limited basis, for disfigurement. You cannot be paid for pain and suffering or loss of companionship under workers’ compensation.

The conference is usually held in the county where you were injured, or in a nearby county. About 30 days before the conference, you will receive a notice that will let you know the date, time, and location of your appointment.

During the conference, a neutral "mediator" will help the parties and their attorneys discuss their dispute and search for mutually agreeable solutions.
