An attorney who is board certified in worker’s compensation must demonstrate knowledge of worker’s compensation statutes, rules, administrative decisions, agency bulletins, and case law. This attorney’s expertise includes the kinds of employment arrangements, disability laws, and workers’ medical and death benefits. He or she must also be skilled at litigating worker’s compensation cases in the alternative dispute resolution system, before the State Office of Administrative Hearings (SOAH) or its equivalent, and in civil court.
