In this session, the trial judges will offer tips about the Program Rules and Statutes that govern trial practice before the Tennessee Court of Workers’ Compensation Claims. They will discuss suggestions for handling Expedited Hearings, Dispositive Motion Hearings, and Compensation Hearings before the Court. They will focus on the burden of proof at each stage of the litigation process and offer best practices for a successful trial. They will address frequently encountered issues in establishing causation and common issues presented to the trial court.

The goal of the presentation is to walk attorneys through the life of a workers' compensation case from the very beginning with the focus on moving the case forward to a reasonable and final conclusion in a fair, consistent, and efficient manner.
