When must documents be provided to an attorney representing a worker?

Documents must be provided to an attorney representing a worker within 14 days from the request as this aligns with the established timelines in workers' compensation procedures to ensure timely and efficient communication between parties involved. The 14-day timeframe is intended to strike a balance, allowing attorneys enough time to gather the necessary information while also ensuring that workers receive timely access to their documents.

This prompt provision of documents fosters transparency in the claims process and helps prevent unnecessary delays, which can be critical in workers' compensation cases. By adhering to this timeframe, all parties can work collaboratively toward a resolution, supporting the overall efficiency of the claims process.
