Mediation Services
The Board advocates utilizing mediators to facilitate the remedy of worker’s compensation issues. A mediator is someone who is trained and certified to act as a neutral party between two conflicting sides. The goal of any mediator is to satisfy the desires of both sides while resolving any outstanding issues.
The Board currently employees five certified mediators and offers their services free of charge. We have enjoyed a success rate of over 70% for the past several years. To schedule a mediation, you may contact our mediators directly via the contact information listed below.
