JUDGES
Workers’ Compensation Court of Existing Claims Judges
2016
|
Margaret A. Bomhoff Presiding Judge |
Each judge hears disputed workers’
compensation issues which may be resolved informally at a prehearing
or settlement conference, or by a trial. Written orders of the trial
judge are final unless appealed to a three-judge review panel of the
Workers’ Compensation Court of Existing Claims, or to the Oklahoma Supreme Court.
In addition to conducting prehearing and settlement conferences and
presiding at trials, judges issue written orders and decisions;
participate in three-judge review panels; record the disposition of
all docketed cases, including those settled and reset; approve
settlements; review files in response to written inquiries and
requests from the parties and others; oversee the Court’s Mediation
System, Independent Medical Examiner System and Medical Case Manager
System; meet with parties and Court staff on various matters,
including review of rules and forms; and participate in numerous
educational seminars.
