/in Duncan Law Blog, Forms, Workers' Compensation/by Damon DuncanForm MSC7 is the report of the Evaluator in a workers compensation case in North Carolina. An Evaluator is usually a neutral person who meets with the plaintiffs and defendants in a workers compensation case in a neutral evaluation conference.
The Evaluator will usually conducts an informal presentation of facts from both parties about the case and evaluate the weaknesses and strengths of each party in the case and provide an assessment of the settlement value and possible liabilities of the parties in the case.
Unlike a mediator, whose duties are to bring the parties to a resolution of the case, the Evaluator states the strengths and weaknesses of each party so the parties may get an unbiased opinion of the possible outcome of a case if the case proceeded to the North Carolina Industrial Commission.
At the completion of the neutral evaluation conference, the Evaluator will file form MSC7 with the Industrial Commission reporting the results of this conference and the Evaluator’s fees earned. This form will report, among other things, when and where the conference was held, names of the parties and attorneys at the conference, whether or not the parties reached an agreement. If not all issues reached an agreement, the issues in which an agreement was not agreed upon. This report must be mailed to the Industrial Commission within seven days of the conclusion of the neutral evaluation conference.
