Attorney Availability Disclaimer
- The unavailable dates you provide will be honored whenever possible,
especially when resetting postponed cases. However, when a new request
for hearing is received, WCB is required by law to schedule it within
90 days, so it will be scheduled within that time frame even if
it conflicts with an attorney's vacation. To avoid that happening,
estimate 80-90 days ahead, which is when the case probably will
be set. If the attorney is going to be unavailable during that time
window, try (consistent with statutory timelines) to send the request
for hearing in sooner, or later, to avoid the conflict. For instance,
if a request for hearing is received on July 10th, the case probably
will be set between September 28 and October 8. If the attorney
is going to be unavailable from Oct. 5 through Oct. 15, the request
should be received before July 7 or after July 17, if possible.
