Q: How can I get an original copy of my trial transcripts?
I called to see if I can get a copy but they told me I had to write a written request and put $100 down. The presiding judge will review and see if I can get a copy. Then I’ll have to pay for anything over $100.
I received a court summary transcript the following day. The summary left out 80% of what happened in the trial. This is the second transcript that they are keeping from me.
A: You have been misinformed. The applicant incurs no costs in a workers compensation case. Perhaps you are in the wrong form. You need only write a request for a copy and explain why it is needed. The court is obligated to provide you with a copy at no charge.
