Attorneys

Any party has a right to be represented by an attorney at any stage in the proceedings regarding a claim. An attorney who represents an injured employee in a proceeding regarding a claim shall file a notice of legal representation signed by the injured employee prior to or together with the attorney's first communication with the organization. The notice of legal representation remains in effect for five years from the date it is signed by the injured employee or until revoked by the injured employee, whichever occurs first.
