The Division's Benefit Review process is designed to provide an informal, expeditious resolution to disputes between injured workers and employers. Parties involved in a workers' compensation case are strongly encouraged, where practicable, to attempt to achieve any necessary discovery informally, in order to avoid undue expense and delay in the resolution of the matter. When such attempts have failed, or where the complexity of the case is such that informal discovery is not practicable, a Workers' Compensation Specialist may request the assistance of the Designated Discovery Attorney.
