Injury Claims and Disputes

Whether you work in construction, at a factory or in an office, injuries can have a devastating effect on your personal health and ability to adequately perform your job. If you are hurt while on the job, you may be entitled to financial benefits under workers’ compensation. These benefits, carried by employers, exist to help you recover from financial hardships you may incur as a result of an injury at work.

Unfortunately, sometimes these benefits are difficult to obtain and, when you are healing from an injury, can be an added layer of stress. Injury claims are routinely denied for a variety of reasons, and it takes an experienced attorney to navigate these difficult situations and fight for the money you deserve. If you or someone you love has been injured on the job and would like legal representation, call the New Jersey workers’ compensation lawyers of Levinson Axelrod, P.A. at 800-346-5529.

Appealing a Workers’ Comp Denial

The following steps may be taken to fight for a workers’ compensation benefits denial:

  • Meet with your employer and discuss the denial. If they are of no help, speak to their insurance provider directly.
  • Work with an attorney to file an appeal. This can take several forms and can be expanded to several levels of consideration.
  • Speak with your doctor and make sure you receive all of the necessary documentation needed to prove your injury and subsequent costs related to that injury.

Oftentimes, there is a time consideration that is put in place for the appeals process. That is why it is imperative to seek the help of an attorney immediately after you get hurt. That way, he or she can help you through the initial process. If your claim is denied, your attorney will already be familiar with the case and can work swiftly on the appeal.
