Settlements for workers’ compensation will take varying amounts of time depending on when mediation or hearing dates are available with the Idaho Industrial Commission. Filing for either mediation or a hearing that will lead to a settlement can happen anytime after the Notice of Injury and Claim for Benefits Form is filed with the IIC.
If an agreement is reached in a mediation, it can be settled at the earliest available mediation date. If the two parties cannot reach an agreement and they decide to file for a hearing instead, it may take weeks or months to receive a decision.
