Addressing the Reason Behind Your Denial
Our staff offers experienced guidance throughout the appeals process when your workers' comp benefits denial stems from:
- Factual disputes: Your employer alleges that you really did not get injured
- Major contributing cause: You have a preexisting injury or condition, whether you were aware of it or not
- Alleged fraud or misrepresentation: Fraud is often a standard defense in denials
- Medical grievances: You must go through a medical grievance process before allowed to submit your workers' comp claim to a judge
- Desire to settle your claim: You could disadvantage yourself by settling a claim prematurely or based on bad terms
Knowledgeable in the various measures insurance companies will take to deny your claim for benefits, our staff is often able to combat their defenses and help you obtain the financial and medical assistance you need to recover and return to work as quickly as possible. Throughout the appeals process, we will work diligently to prove your case and your entitlement to assistance under workers' compensation statutes.
