Settlement Hearing Advisement
What is an Administrative Hearing?
A hearing is a formal legal proceeding where an administrative law
judge decides what benefits, if any, must be paid, and decides any
other issues. All parties may present evidence, including documents
and sworn testimony of witnesses. A court reporter makes a record of
the hearing. There is no jury. There is no charge for the hearing.
Your failure to attend may result in an unfavorable decision, a delay
in a decision on your claim, or the dismissal of your claim. To
request a hearing, you must file an Application for Hearing with the
Office of Administrative Courts and send a copy to the insurance
company. You may request this form by calling the Adjudication Docket.
If you qualify for an expedited hearing, your hearing will be
scheduled within 45 days of the date of the application. All other
hearings are scheduled within 80-100 days. Office of Administrative
Courts has two docket offices, one in Denver and one in Grand
Junction. You may ask for a hearing in Denver, Boulder, Colorado
Springs, Durango, Fort Collins, Glenwood Springs, Grand Junction,
Greeley or Pueblo. Call the Office of Administrative Courts docket
section for current information on locations.
