No. The overwhelming majority of Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Judges are not scheduling in person hearings. An exception to the Pandemic Proceedings may occur if you are pursuing a Claim for Disfigurement and the Judge permits a live court session in order to view your scar. You should have access to a smart phone or computer in order to attend your hearing by a video link, which the Judge provides. In addition, a telephone number which you may use to call-in for your hearing accompanies the video link, however, the Judge prefers that you attend by video if you are scheduled to testify for your case. Always check with your attorney who is well-versed In the Judge’s Practices and Procedures. ~ Lisa D. Eldridge, Esq.
