Worker's compensation proceedings differ from general civil litigation and require adherence to unique procedures. Effective in November and December of 2021, the new administrative rules govern proceedings before the Michigan Workers' Disability Compensation Agency, Board of Magistrates, and Appeals Commission. Among other changes, the new rules expand discovery, modernize the rules on filing and service, and relax certain evidentiary standards.
