FAQ: Do I have to attend a hearing?
If your claim can be assessed based on written evidence alone, you won't need to attend a hearing. One of our adjudicators will make a decision based on the information in the file. This is called a documentary hearing. If an oral hearing is needed, you must be present. At an electronic hearing you will be on the phone or video conference while the adjudicators are at a hearing site. During an oral or electronic hearing, the adjudicators will ask questions about the incident, injuries and associated costs.
