What to do if your Work Injury Claim is Denied

Work injuries happen all the time, and most workers are not familiar with the work comp system. As a result, work comp claims are often denied, leaving workers with high medical bills. In this article we will walk you through the steps you need to take if your work comp claim is denied.

Contact a Work Comp Lawyer

The first thing you need to do when you find out about a work injury claim denial is contact a work comp attorney. Ideally, you should consult with a worker’s compensation lawyer right away after a work injury to make sure you are doing all the right things after an accident. But even if you haven’t spoken with an attorney yet, it’s never too late in the process. Pick up the phone and call a work injury attorney who can walk you through your options after a denied claim.

Appeal Your Claim

With a work comp attorney at your side, you can begin to appeal your denied work injury claim. Your lawyer can examine the circumstances surrounding the accident that caused the injury, investigate any wrongdoing on the part of your employer or their insurance company, and get you the settlement you deserve. You need time to recover after a work injury so you can get back to your job. Let a worker’s comp lawyer handle the legal aspects of your claim.
