What happens at mediation. My attornery called today and said they are going to medioation soon. What is it? and what happens? What does that mean for me?

Mediation is when your lawyer and the IC and maybe you and an IC lawyer get together and try to come to terms on your case without having to go to court.In my case we went to mediation and the IC said NO NO NO so we went to court and the judge said YES YES YES!! So dont be surprised if the IC is on the offense.Good luck.

i think the details depend on how your state system is run. You should put your state in your user profile so we don't have to ask or guess.

Thank you for the help, I am not really sure why we are going to meditation now or for what. But I know before they did not want to pay for meds or dr. So maybe that is it. Or they are just trying to get ride of me.

The IC will do whatever they can to "get rid of you".In my case they said that the injury did not happen at work, My lawyer looked across the room and thanked my boss for giving me a ride to the hospital!!

Yeah my boss told my nurse case worker that she thinks I didnt get hurt at work and she is now gonna fight it. but that was about 3 months ago. My injury happen in 07 had surgery in 08, and I am still in a arm brace and get shots every month and on lots of differnt meds.Luckly my job we had camaras all over the place so she has the video and so does wc, so she has lost her mind I guess.I hope things work out for ya.

Things are working out for me, I have three surgeons backing me. Unfortunately for the IC, one of them was hired by them!!!It's just a long road, the IC will find whatever they can to delay everything, but I know that in the end I WIN. As long as I don't get caught doing something I am not supposed to. And that won't happen!!!!
