Mediation is a voluntary, informal meeting between the people involved in a disputed workers' compensation claim. The goal of the meeting is for all sides to reach agreement on a fair solution to the dispute.
A neutral Industrial Commission mediator who has experience in resolving disputes assists in mediation. The mediator conducts the meeting but does not give advice to the participants.
