Authorized Representative

Authorized representatives are selected by or hired by the injured worker or employer to represent them during the life of the claim. Generally an attorney is selected, but the representative can be anyone.

The injured worker may notify the claims service specialist (CSS) of the dismissal of his/her current authorized representative by telephone, fax or letter.

• Telephone - Call the CSS to notify BWC of your intent, but the representative is not dismissed until written confirmation is received.
• Fax - Send written notification to the CSS.
• Letter - Mail the notice to the CSS. You should copy the notification to the interested parties.
