A: It's a trial on the merits. You should be intimately familiar with rules of procedure and evidence, or, hire an experienced attorney.
A:
A workers comp hearing is similar to a court proceeding however it is at the administrative level before the Workers Compensation Commission (essentially the Judges). If you do not have an attorney one will likely be needed. If you do then you should have a discussion about this with your attorney before the hearing.
Good Luck!
