Can the carrier appeal a decision favoring the claiment made by the judge in a workers' comp case?

Yes, they can, in most states. The CARRIER can appeal it, NOT the employer. As the carrier is the one stuck with the legal fees, the employer can't make them appeal, if they don't think it's a winning case.

Yup, the carrier can appeal the decision, just depends on the circumstances. They'll analyze the exposure and what the chances are of them prevailing. If they do appeal the decision it will take a long time to figure out and medical bills will remain unpaid. Expect possible settlement if there is an appeal.

I'm guessing you're U.S. If it's uk they would only be able to appeal on a point of law, or if they feel the outcome was grossly unfair (it would have to be obviously so), or they may appeal the amount of the damages. Prob similar in the US.

The decide can choose for to award despite he feels is honest. you will possibly desire to speak with the staff comp branch on your state. each and each state is diverse yet they many times have a branch that assists injured workers. you additionally can want to speak to a 2nd lawyer. it would value some hundred funds (or it particularly is loose for preliminary consultation) yet you're speaking approximately hundreds of hundreds of dollars.

It would be up to the WC insurance carrier, not the employer.
