Abstract

Details on some of the ten bills dealing with workers' compensation the Maine Legislature will consider this session. The Legislature's Labor Committee will attempt to consolidate the measures into an omnibus bill that would provide legal assistance for workers in disputed cases; give the Workers' Compensation Board more power to authorize rehabilitation evaluations; and provide injured workers more choices for medical care and advice. Seventy percent of workers' comp cases are resolved before the dispute stage, where legal representation might be an option.

Subjects

Bills, Legislative, Workmen's compensation
