Valerie presents at workers’ compensation CLE on contempt proceedings

Valerie Johnson spoke today at the NC Advocates for Justice CLE on “Navigating Claims Through the Industrial Commission.” Valerie’s presentation was entitled “In Contempt? — Contempt Proceedings at the Industrial Commission.” She covered the current state of the law regarding contempt and other means by which parties are forced to comply with the orders and rulings of the Commission. All too often, workers’ compensation defendants (employers and insurance companies) fail to follow orders and obvious requirements. Protracted litigation, sanctions, and ultimately contempt rulings are then needed in order for claimants to vindicate their rights.
