Contested workers' compensation claims may require any of the following options:
1. Public hearing: A disputed claim can be resolved through a public hearing where both parties present their arguments and evidence before a workers' compensation judge or board.
2. Settlement agreement: Parties may choose to negotiate and reach a settlement agreement outside of court. This can involve a voluntary compromise, where both parties agree on a certain amount of benefits or a resolution to the dispute.
3. Lawsuit: If the dispute cannot be resolved through negotiation or alternative dispute resolution methods, such as mediation or arbitration, the claimant may choose to file a lawsuit against the employer or insurance company. This would involve taking the case to court for a judge or jury to make a decision.
4. Direct settlement: In some cases, a contested workers' compensation claim may be resolved through a direct settlement between the parties involved, without the need for a public hearing or lawsuit. This typically occurs when both parties agree on a resolution and can reach a mutual agreement without the involvement of a judge or legal proceedings.
