If Your Claim is Denied, Rely On an Experienced Attorney
Workers' compensation claims are generally straightforward: If you are injured on the job, you file a claim to seek wage benefits and health benefits. Sometimes, however, a claim is denied by insurance companies or employers. The following are a few reasons a claim may be denied:
- A doctor says the injured worker can return to work before he or she is able to do so.
- The employer argues the injury was not related to the job or that the claim was never reported.
- The insurance representative may argue the injury was sustained outside of the workplace.

How to Appeal a Denied Workers' Compensation Claim

If your claim is denied, you can appeal the decision and seek a hearing. This often involves taking your case before an administrative law judge.
