How can I obtain copies of Industrial Claim Appeals Panel decisions?
Information contained in workers compensation files is generally restricted. However, there are some statutory exceptions, and the Director of the Division of Workers Compensation may authorize the release of information if there is no improper purpose for the request. Currently, the release of Industrial Claim Appeals Panel decisions is authorized to litigants and practitioners for legal research purposes. Workers’ Compensation decisions are also available from two on-line subscription legal research services, LoisLaw and WestLaw. You may also obtain copies of Workers’ Compensation decisions directly from the Industrial Claim Appeals Office by calling (303) 318-8131. There is a charge of 20 per page. The Industrial Claim Appeals Office does not offer a search service to locate decisions by subject matter or issue. Therefore, you must identify the decision you are requesting.
