Can a decision of the Commissioners of the Industrial Commission be appealed?
A. Only certain issues can be appealed to a court of common pleas, specifically those decisions that affect the claimant’s right to participate in the BWC program, and only in the county where the alleged injury was sustained. Generally, decisions regarding treatment and extent of disability are not appealable into court. Since strict time deadlines apply for the filing of any appeal, speak to our attorneys as soon as possible if you are unsure whether to file an appeal from an order of the Industrial Commission.
