What if my claim is denied?

Answer

If your claim is denied, uh, you would file a petition in Workers Compensation Court to have a judge hear and decide whether the denial was appropriate or, on the other hand, if you are entitled to workers compensation benefits and the claim shouldn’t have been denied. If you promptly consult with a workers compensation lawyer, that lawyer will file that petition the first second they can so that there’s no unnecessary delays in getting you what you’re entitled to and, and getting your rights recognized. So when they do deny your claim—and they often do—it doesn’t mean your claim doesn’t have merit, it just means that they’re not gonna voluntarily give you what you’re entitled to. So you need a lawyer to file what they have to file to legally get you what you’re entitled to.
