Where? It depends. It is usually held at the nearest Virginia WCC Office to where the work accident happened or where the parties to the claim are located. The Virginia Worker’s Compensation Commission tries to accommodate the parties by picking a location that is convenient for everyone. “If special accommodations are needed, please contact the Alternative Dispute Resolution Department at least 72 hours in advance of the scheduled mediation.”
When? “This depends on the availability of those necessary to the mediation. A mediation is generally scheduled within 45 – 60 days of the time all parties consent to ADR. ADR will also schedule emergency mediations in cases where such action is necessary or requested by the parties.” Emergencies can include health issue, foreclosure or other pressing issue.
