Workers'
Compensation Alternative Dispute Resolution
The Southern California Laborers have implemented a program to help
contain the costs of Workers' Compensation while assuring that insured
workers obtain quality care and are returned to useful employment with a
minimum of delay.
Ombudsman
Facilitator
The Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) program utilizes the services
of an "Ombudsman" as prescribed by state law to facilitate the
operation of the program. This minimizes litigation and reduces
workers' compensation costs.
A signatory employer large enough may enter this program on its own or
may enter the program through "safety groups" established by the
Southern California Laborers.
Working with the contractor's in-place Workmen's Compensation carrier,
the program can also offer managed care programs.
