What is the purpose of an informal conference?
The purpose of an informal conference is to reach an agreement on the amount you will be paid if you have any permanent disability or loss of use as a result of an on-the job accident. The agreement will cover any disfigurement or scarring related to the injury. Workers’ compensation pays for disability or loss of use, or on a limited basis, for disfigurement. You cannot be paid for pain and suffering or loss of companionship under workers’ compensation.
