The Industrial Commission processes over 65,000 workers' compensation injury reports and claims filed annually under the Act.

It acts as a court of exclusive and final jurisdiction for death claims made by families of law enforcement officers, fire fighters, rescue squad workers and civil air patrol members arising under the Public Safety Employees' Death Benefits Act.

The Full Commission’s work is supported by a team of attorneys who serve as legal counsel to the Commissioners.
These attorneys work closely with each other and with the Commissioners to ensure that appeals to the Full Commission are heard and ruled upon in a timely, efficient, and equitable manner.
Primary Purpose of the Position: Prepare well-written and legally sound drafts of decisions for the Full Commission.
Analyze legal documents, including briefs, motions, transcripts, and depositions, and make recommendations consistent with relevant case law.
