Is a full trial of my workers’ compensation case required?

There is no requirement of a full trial in the majority of workers’ compensation claims. Most can result in settlement upon consideration of your testimony by the judge and the
reports of your medical evaluation. In the event a settlement offer is made, it will be explained to you so that you can make a decision as to whether to accept it.

If a settlement cannot be reached, then your case may go to trial. Petrillo & Goldberg request that you visit our office to discuss the trial with one of our attorneys. We will identify any problems in your case, and thoroughly prepare you for your testimony.
