What is the appeal process?
|
Appeals to BWC Orders The injured worker/injured worker's authorized representative, employer/employer's authorized representative or BWC, may file an appeal. It is important to note that the appeal must be filed in writing, as BWC will not accept a verbal appeal. Although the IC-12 is generally used to file an appeal, BWC will accept any appeal as long as it contains the following pertinent information:
Objections or appeals pertaining to self-insuring employers decisions are forwarded to the IC within seven days of receipt of the objection or appeal. The appeal should also be signed and dated by the party filing the appeal. Appeals can be filed via mail, fax or in person at the local BWC customer service office or Industrial Commission office. |
